I have chosen you out of the world
from Novena Preaching @ Novena Church · host Novena Church
We all want to be popular, to be seen and to be liked.In this celebrity culture we live in, we desire applause and affirmation. But in the gospel today, John 15:18-19, Fr. Ino reflects on Jesus’ farewell discourse.In contrast to our current culture, Jesus spoke about not being popular, not being liked, not being affirmed but being hated, despised and disliked.Cardinal Tobin from the US as bullied and bashed when he tried to protect the migrants. The late Fr Picx Picardal had to flee from the Philippines defending human rightsWe will be hated because we stand for Christ, the lost and the least.Let us pray that we do not just want to be popular, but to choose to embrace Christ Jesus loved us first and He has chosen us out of the world. - Novena Devotion by Fr. Victorino Cueto, C.Ss.R. ( 24 May 2025 )
