What are the levels of my hope in distress, discouragement and hard times? Allow the little salt and light to be absorbed into God's greatness. P. Otundo, O.Carm. Shalom

Lord, must I face hard times in the name of serving you? Why are your ways not common and understandable in my mind? Is this the way you treat those who testify to you? P. Otundo, O. Carm. Shalom

We join the Church in her celebration of St. Charles Lwanga and his companions as we assert who our inner throne is. As we heed the invitation of Jesus - 'Follow me' - we join the psalmist and respond - The Lord has fixed his throne in heaven. Happy feast. P. Otundo, O. Carm. Shalom

Whom do I bear witness to? Is my beneficial witnessing drawing to its closure? Those who believe in Jesus Christ through the Apostle's Word are made one in Him. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge. P. Otundo, O. Carm. Shalom

What may guard us from the inner wolf? Who will sanctify us in the truth? May the Father enables us to become kingdoms of the earth and sing to God faithfully. P. Otundo, O.Carm. Shalom

How beautiful it is to end the month of Mary with her Visitation! Have we received our own visitation from the Lord? Wishing you all a fruitful feast and visitations. P. Otundo, O.Carm. Shalom

What is the anchor of my faith in Christ? Today we reflect on our inner affirmation based on Paul's question in the Acts of the Apostles 18:1-8 - Did you receive the Holy Spirit? We gladly reframe the question - What are the fruits of the baptism that we have received? Be of Cheer, Jesus has overcome the world and we are the kingdoms of the earth that sing to God. P. Otundo, O.Carm. Shalom
