Matthew 5:43-48
Love of Enemies
[Jesus said to his disciples,] “you have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust. for if you love those who love you, what recompense will you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what is unusual about that? Do not the pagans do the same? So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

Matthew 5:20-26
Teaching about Anger
[Jesus said t his disciples,] I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, “You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.” But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother ‘Raqa’, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court with him. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”

MATTHEW 7 : 7-12
The Answer to Prayers
[Jesus said to his disciples,] Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your , how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.”

Luke 11:29 ‒ 32
The Demand for a Sign
“While still more people gathered in the crowd, [Jesus] said to them, “this generation is an evil generation; it seek a sign, but no sign, will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. Just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the of Man be to this generation. At the judgment the queen of the south will rise with the men of this generation and she will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and there is something greater then Solomon here. At the judgment the men of Nineveh will rise with this generation and condemn it, because at the preaching of Jonah they repented, and there is something greater than Jonah here.”

Matthew 6 : 7 ‒ 15
The Lord’s Prayer
Jesus said to His disciples, “ In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This is how you are to pray:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors;
and do not subject us to the final test,
but deliver us from the evil one.”
If you forgive others their transgressions, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your transgressions.

THE WAY OF PURIFICATION
AFTER CONVERSION
Chapter 28
Closer Friendship with God
CHRIST,
MY , I have said that the Kingdom of God is within you. turn to Me with your whole heart. do not think too much of this world, and your soul will find rest in Me. Do not let this earthly life take all of your attention. Think often of Me and of My Will in your life. then you will become more conscious of My presence within your soul. I bring you the gifts of peace and joy in the Holy ghost. These gifts are not given to those who pay too much attention to this earthly life.
2. One who loves Me and lives My truth, is a supernatural person. By My grace he becomes free from sinful and dangerous desires. He can freely turn to Me. He is able to rise above the visible world around him and enjoy My friendship.
3. As iron, cast into the fire, loses its rust and becomes bright with the flame, so too a man who turns his whole heart to Me, is purified of all sluggishness and changed into a new man.

My first run 2007
DZMM Takbo sa Kalikasan 10K Event will be my first competitive run this year, on Feb. 18, Sunday. My last run was in December 2006. the MILO Marathon finals, in which I broke my one hour record for 10 K event to 55 minutes. I’m hoping to break it again, this time or maybe on my next run on Sunday, February 25, Phil. International Marathon in which I will run in the 10K event.
Running in a 42K event is still a dream for me. who knows at my age 50 it can still be done? With God’s help and good preparation, maybe I can fulfill that dream one day soon.
