Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Tuesday in the Tenth Week of Ordinary Time, Year I, 10 June 2025 2 Corinthians 1:18-22 <*[[[[>< + ><]]]]*> Matthew 5:13-16
What a great way to resume the Ordinary Time this Tuesday, Lord Jesus Christ as your words today invite us to examine some of the most "ordinary" things in life we take for granted.
Brothers and sisters: As God is faithful, our word to you is not “yes” and “no.” For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, Silvanus and Timothy and me, was not “yes” and “no,” but “yes” has been in him (2 Corinthians 1:18-19).
Many times in our answers of yes or no we cannot even make a clear stand in you, Jesus; like Paul, give us the strength and courage to mean "yes" in you, Jesus; let our "yes" to your gospel, to your love and justice, to your kindness and forgiveness be a resounding "Amen" in Christ, without any reservations, without ifs nor buts but a firm "yes, Lord!"
Teach to become the salt of the earth bringing out the flavor and goodness of every person like what salt does to our food; at the same time, let your light shine in us, Jesus, to bring out the light, the beautiful colors of every person around us with our witnessing to you, Jesus. Amen.
