is doing so that your almsgiving may be in secret and your father who sees in secret will repay you when you pray do not like don't act like the hypocrites who love to stand and pray in the synagogue and on street corners so that others may see them amen they say to you they have received their reward but when you pray go to your inner room close the door and pray to your father in secret and your father who sees in secret will repay you when you fast do not look gloomy like the hypocrites they neglect their appearance so that they may appear to others to be fasting amen i say to you they have

attendance welcome to the decision shrine of jesus the divine word we are in christ the king mission seminary ashwin's day and aguaresma is nothing else but this is a time when god rides straight with crooked lines illustrations we go through a lot of things in life we go through different things and the road of life is not easy it's not smooth along the way so what is my take here jansa picchurona manga winding it can symbolize when we encounter pain in life our trials we saw our witnesses as a person are in adequacy been sending we feel depressed we feel so alone and some because i'm suffering is just too much we feel life is too unfair at my party drawing that represent you sometimes we cannot move on some do not want to move on we want to go back we are stuck with anger and forgiving heart sometimes our hearts are filled with bitterness peru later god writes straight in crooked lines meaning later we realize after all the journey around things make sense when we look back we saw that god through and through is was was at our side helping us to get through it and you see the reason why it happened and when you look back you do not know but it seems god there is good that come out from our suffering and it's because of the faithfulness of god sabesa first reading his mercy endure his love is forever the kite we feel that is that around he is hidden inside us in our story of life working with us according to gospel he is hidden we cannot just see it but later you see good things are coming out from our suffering allow me to give you a concrete story of a priest young story in public some public gathering in an online nikon so how god rides straight in his crooked life just few months decided no max parade that alone is painful added to the injury nobody wants to take care of him of the two bhutinalang maimatan single lady who offered to adopt him of single and old lady offered to adopt him later he felt he will wait i think six years in the lagaan until namata then he he entered in our congregation then after santa he became a priest a very good priest so indeed god can write straight in crooked lines sometimes bach and we are complaining right now lord why all these things happen to me back with you never know god at the moment is writing straight in whatever you are undergoing you will bring something good of you out of your experience what is my personal take you and i may have a rough pass in life even me when i was young the situation of her family was not ideal to oh pain is very strong we may not change our past but we can change our present until the future he can turn sinners into saints he can make us cry out of his goodness even we're in pain nakitakuyan indeed god is alive so do not be disappointed be mindful you never know god is making a way even in suffering there is dignity and value there is mission and purpose god right straight with crooked lines opangalawa some of you and us may be ongoing tough journey right now

the best example that god can write straight in crooked lines he suffered he was rejected he was hated pinaktawanan he was even crucified on the cross but god raised him from death it was a begin whatever undergoing right now is not yet your final you never know god is ongoing doing something because those who believe in jesus will share in his resurrection god writes straight in crooked lines means people reject jesus what a happy fault it could be a blessing of the in disguise so look at the lessons of your experiences and where god will lead you for sure god is good good will come out of our whatever we're undergoing entered what is my take please be patient always please be patient trust god some people i taco sometimes say lord i feel too wounded i feel unworthy i feel imperfect i
