Monday (November 11): "Lord Jesus increase our faith"

Scripture:  Luke 17:1-6 

And he said to his disciples, "Temptations to sin are sure to come; but woe to him by whom they come! It would be better for him if a millstone were hung round his neck and he were cast into the sea, than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin. Take heed to yourselves; if your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him; and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, and says, `I repent,' you must forgive him." The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!" And the Lord said,"If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this sycamine tree, `Be rooted up, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you."

Reflection:

Tagpasidan’an daan kita ni Jesus Christ na an tentasyon para kita makasayâ batok kan God, jaon permi, ugsâ maningkamot gajud kita paglikay sa kasay’anan.

Mas grabe pa gajud kunô, laong pa ni Jesus, kon kita an maka-daní nan atô isigkatawo na makasayâ kan God.

An pagpasaylo sa mga nakasayâ ‘sab datô kinahanglan natô himoon abir kon pabalik-balik permi sila na makasayâ sa atô.

Amo na kinahanglan gajud na permi hugot an atô pagtoo sanan pagsalig sa Diyos hilabina na an Holy Spirit na tagpadaya ni Christ datô amo’y mogiya sa atô mga aksiyon para kita makasunod sa mga sugô ni Lord datô.

"Lord Jesus, you give us victory over the destructive forces of sin and harmful desires that keep us from doing your will. Give me the strength to always choose what is good and to reject what is wrong. May your love and truth rule my heart that I may give good example to others and guide those who need your wise instruction and help."
