Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Sorrows and Joys” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, Jesus said, “You will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn into joy; which no one shall take from you.” Ponder on, “When we embrace the challenges of sacrifices, generosity and mercy because of our faith, hope and love for Jesus, we will surely receive great blessings of “Joy” from Him.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 16:20-23a
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘I tell you most solemnly, you will be weeping and wailing while the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will turn to joy.
‘A woman in childbirth suffers, because her time has come; but when she has given birth to the child she forgets the suffering in her joy that a man has been born into the world. So it is with you: you are sad now, but I shall see you again, and your hearts will be full of joy, and that joy no one shall take from you. When that day comes, you will not ask me any questions.’
