The Empty Chair at the Dinner

Hello Dear Friends in Jesus, welcome to an exciting episode of 2 Minutes with the Lord. I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today, we explore a very unique topic: Creative and Faithful Disciples of God. Creativity and Discipleship. The book of Exodus 35:31-32 says "He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of crafts..." This passage highlights how God endows individuals with creative skills and abilities. Creativity in faith isn't just about arts and crafts; it's about using our God-given talents in innovative ways to glorify Him and inspire others. Whether it's through music, writing, or any form of artistic expression, our creativity is a form of worship and a tool for spreading the gospel.

Welcome, dear listeners, to our eighth episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." This is Season 2, and I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD, and today we explore a profound topic: "Let Your Light Shine Before Others." The Light Within. Let's begin by understanding the significance of the light within us. In the Gospel of Matthew 5:16, Jesus tells us, "In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." This verse reminds us that the light within us isn't meant to be hidden. It's a beacon of goodness that reflects God's glory. Picture yourself through an experience. Sometimes you may have taken a step with kindness and compassion, like a beacon. You might have shown that simple acts of love, like helping a neighbor in need, not only brighten someone's day but also glorify God through our actions. How can you share our light with others?

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-enriching episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a transformative journey to explore a practical way of Christian living - "Becoming Prayer.” Let us begin by contemplating the profound impact of prayer in our lives. In St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians 4:6-7, we find these words of wisdom: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." These verses remind us that prayer is a conduit to God's peace, a transformative force that can calm our anxieties and bring us closer to Him. How can we transform our lives into a continuous prayer, an offering to the Divine?
