Joel 1:13-15, 2:1-2, Psalm 9:2-3, 6, 8-9 & 16, Luke 11:15-26

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

Joel 1:13-15, 2:1-2, Psalm 9:2-3, 6, 8-9 & 16, Luke 11:15-26




Joel 1:13-15, 2:1-2


My Beloved, we live in an age that seems to drift further and further away from Truth.  It is the Church and her shepherds who must wake up and stir up Your people anew with a lively faith and hope in You.  The timee  has come for us to gather together on Your Holy Mountain and pray that when the day of the Lord is upon us we shall not perish but be granted eternal life.

Psalm 9:2-3, 6, 8-9 & 16

The day of judgment is almost upon us O Lord.  Let us wake from our sleep for night is almost over and dawn will be here soon.  Help us, fill us, us and use us to labor unselfishly so when You do come, You will find faith

Luke 11:15-26


My Beloved, how often evil is attributed to good and good to evil.  We see this prevalent in our world today.  In verse 20 You say, ".....I drive out demons by the finger of God...." The same finger that gave us the Commandments has vanquished evil and the Kingdom is surely among us as leaven in the dough.  

We cannot remain empty, if we are we cannot know what will find its way into us and fill us when we let down our guard, but if, when cleansed from sin, we allow the Holy Spirit to live and reign in us nothing and no one can overcome us.  With Him we live without Him we die.
