SUNDAY January 21- 2023- YEAR 2- Episode# 96 Good Sunday Morning with Fr Andre on KNUS 710 am: The Spiritual Destiny of the United States of America 

(Psalm 104)

 

Good holy Sunday morning my dear friends of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, and listeners to the show. Let us pray and seek God’s protection over us first of all on this good holy day of Sunday.

 

God, come to my assistance.
— Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia. 

 

My friends, today’ message is to pray for the United States to hear and do the Will of God. This is the what I call the year of the great challenge in which the United States is being asked: Oh America what did you do with your baptism? 

On this show we will try to identify how can we in the United stated give to Cesar what is due to Cesar and give to God what is due to God (Matthew 22:21). Also how can we as people in the United States still be a nation and a State under God. In what sense? How will the political and economic systems come under God? In what sense can our nation as a sovereign nation be under God? In all of this, what role does God want the United States to play amongst the nations of the world? God who is the God of love and life, God of peace and redemption, God of power and might, the God of the poor and the rich, God of Justice and Truth, what is His part in the destiny of the United States of America? There are many other questions to be asked. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to come upon us and guide us as we reflect upon these questions in order to serve better the Will of God which is love and mercy itself on this Holy Sunday Morning. First let us pray!

SUNDAY January 14- 2023- YEAR 2- Episode# 95 Good Sunday Morning with Fr Andre on KNUS 710 am: “the year 2024”

Symbols of peace and signs of grace for the new year 

 

 

Good holy Sunday morning my dear friends of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, and listeners to the show. 

Happy and Merry Christmas to all.

 

My dear friends, The new year has began. It is coming with many hopes and aspirations. At the same time, there are unhappy predictions about this year as well. 

As Christians and as people of faith, we always look to sanctify the time. We also become ourselves symbols of peace for others around us. We live in accordance with God’s Divine Law, we dwell with our brothers and sisters in peace and harmony, we preach peace and do works of peace with the poor and the needy. Consequently, we learn from the symbols of peace that God has put before our eyes in nature. For we learn from the olive branch, the dove, and the baptismal font how God has announced us with the grace of salvation and how He gave us peace and life in Jesus Christ our Lord. We cannot enter into the new year unless first we bring Jesus into it, and as the Lord of all Times, Jesus Himself offers himself for our sake, in order to make us grow with Him, as the way, the truth and the life to the Father in Heaven. 

At this new year, I pray strongly that people focus again on installing peace and groins in the love of God and the Neighbour.  What are the signs of Divine Grace that I like us to think about this year? Remember we are loved. Remember we have been forgiven. Remember we have been now sent as herald of good news into the entire world to preach the Gospel of Life and Peace of . Let our resolution be this: to testify before others about the truth of Jesus Christ the only Son of God, and to do works of peace that are pleasing to God almighty. Amen.

SUNDAY Dec 24- 2023- YEAR 2- Episode# 94 Good Sunday Morning with Fr Andre on KNUS 710 am: “Christmas is God With Us, the Emmanuel- the Gift of Life, Peace and Joy”

Christmas is a Time during which the Eternal Glory of God has entered into our Human Life in the flesh! 

(Isaiah 41: 1-20)

 

Good holy Sunday morning my dear friends of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, and listeners to the show. 

Happy and Merry Christmas to all.

 

My dear friends, Tis’ the Day before Christmas: It is Christmas Eve, Merry Christmas to you all! I am exceptionally recording this show live on Christmas Eve, while I am in a big truck, loaded with gifts to the children in villages and towns in South Lebanon. Yes, along with two volunteers, and under severe weather conditions, some bombing going on, we are going to deliver to churches in South Lebanon around 700 Christmas gifts to be distributed to many many children across the Tyre Diocese and the High Galilee area. Pray for us I want you to know that I love you all. I am most thankful to all of our donors and contributors in the US, in Colorado who are making this Christmas Miracle happen. Our Truck is called: God is Love. We are driving it uncovered, under rain, and high wind, because of security reasons we are not allowed to take a hard covered truck, out of fear it will be bombed. 

 

OnThursday Dec 21, I met with over 600  including a little girl: Ella Tannous, now 9 years old. Ella is a Christmas Miracle child who was hit by a deadly virus shortly after birth. 

Unfortunately, due to a medical mistake, Ella ended up losing both her hands and feet. What was left of her is her head and central body. With this, Ella sings, and gives testimony to Christ that it is because of Him that she is still alive. 

Ella made Jesus a song in which she tells him that she lives through Him, and will always speak of His Love and Mercy and that she encourages children all over the world not to lose faith in God when times are hard, but instead to turn to Him knowing that He is the true and only Savior! 

 

Mission of Hope and Mercy gave Ella and another 600 children their Christmas gifts in a big parade. 

It was a privilege to share with Ella in a very social way a smart robot doll and a headphone, which reads books to Ella, types her words for her, allows her to listen to music and communicate through words, actions and creativity. 

Ella also paints with her mouth and lips and she also has an amazing voice with which she glorifies God and made a song to Jesus! 

I am privileged to have given Ella and another 600 children their Christmas gifts in these 2 days! 

 

Ok behalf of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, I am most thankful to all of our donors,  benefactors and people who support us! 

 

I urge and ask you, before the end of the year to continue your support and to help us realize more Christmas miracles in bringing food, medication and education to thousands of families in Lebanon, all because of your support. 

 

I ask for your prayers. Earlier today, Christmas Eve I went to local hospital to give sick children their Christmas gifts. Now, I am heading to the South of Lebanon despite danger along with few members of my Team of the Mission of Hope and Mercy. Pray for us as we are trying to deliver around 700 Christmas gifts to Children in the Region of the historical and Biblical Tyre, all the way to High Galilee and Mount Hermon. 

 

I like to share with you our experience when we visited the sick children in the hospital: Members of my team of the Mission of Hope and Mercy, a Christmas band and myself, visited local hospital in Jbeil- Byblos Lebanon. Yes I did finally sing all my favorite Christmas Carols, greeted all visitors, distributed Christmas Gifts to the sick children and visiting children, children in the pediatric emergency. We also distributed chocolate and candies to all the members of the medical body, nurses, doctors, families and visitors! I am most

At the Occasion of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary

Let us pray: 

 

“At her conception Mary received a blessing from the Lord and loving kindness from God her savior.

 

Psalm 24
The Lord’s entry into his temple
Christ opened heaven for us in the manhood he assumed (St. Irenaeus).

 

The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the world and all its peoples.
It is he who set it on the seas;
on the waters he made it firm.

 

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
The man with clean hands and pure heart,
who desires not worthless things,
who has not sworn so as to deceive his neighbor.

 

He shall receive blessings from the Lord
and reward from the God who saves him.
Such are the men who seek him,
seek the face of the God of Jacob.

 

O gates, lift high your heads;
grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!

 

Who is the king of glory?
The Lord, the mighty, the valiant,
the Lord, the valiant in war.

 

O gates, lift high your heads;
grow higher, ancient doors.
Let him enter, the king of glory!

 

Who is he, the king of glory?
He, the Lord of armies,
he is the king of glory.

 

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
