Reflections
“she gave praise to God.”When I see aged people going to Church, I find myself seeking for the same strength. They lived their lives, survived its challenges, and preserved their faith. I wonder on their lives’ sto ries but I am certain that their faith matured through time.Looking at the readings, St. John counselled the followers of Jesus to hold unto him with per severance. In Christian Life, temp tations abound and misleading teachings sprout. It is in this spirit that the apostle exhorts them to hold fast to the faith.Like Anna, the daughter of Phanuel, who persevered until she saw Jesus, we are also in vited to persevere in God’s love at all times and in all places. We pray that even in the most trying times, we would hold on to Jesus and trust in his merciful love.
