Daily Meditation: Wisdom 9:17
Wisdom 9:17
17 Who has ever known your will unless you first gave him Wisdom and sent down your holy spirit to him?
Beloved, grant me wisdom in order that I may know Your will. To obey the Father's will was food and drink to You. This is why You came to earth as a Man to fulfill perfectly the Father's plan of love for our salvation.
I know You have a plan for my life as well and so Beloved grant me wisdom in order that I may discern Your holy will with the help of Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You.
Daily Mass Readings: 1 Corinthians 15:1-8, John 14:6-14, Psalm 19:2-5
1 Corinthians 15:1-8
The Good news is the foundation on which I stand firm. Peter is the Rock on whom You have built Your Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against Your Bride. This is Your promise. It is faith in the Gospel that saves us. It is a faith which has been preached by Your Apostles, disciples and believers through the ages. It is the Good News for which many countless brothers and sisters have laid down their lives in imitation of You.
The Church holds safe in her treasury the truths of our faith in the Gospel - the Word of God and Sacred Tradition handed down undiluted - this is the rich deposit left to us by Your Apostles and the Fathers of the Church. Just as many were witness to the miraculous signs and wonders which You performed while You were alive, so there were many witnesses who saw You after Your glorious Resurrection. The Apostles were also witnesses to Your Ascension into heaven.
Each of us in turn is called to be a witness to the Truth. Give us the grace to carry out this mission faithfully.
John 14:6-14
No one comes to the Father except through You. You are the Gate to the Father's House. The Father sent You to demonstrate His love for us. It stands to reason then that You who laid down Your life to save us, should be the only means through which we can return to the Father. You are the Image of the invisible God - when we see You, we see the Father, because You have said that You and the Father are One.
If I am one with You Beloved, then I am one with the Father too. All that You said and did was exactly what the Father desired and He spoke and worked through You. You and the Father are one and we who believe are one with You. You make this absolutely wonderful promise that we can not only do all that You did, but even greater works than You have done. You are glorified by the Father and You invite us to ask the Father anything in Your Name and You assure us that we will receive it.
Psalm 19:2-5
4 No speech, no words, no voice is heard –
5 but the call goes on throughout the universe,
the message is felt to the ends of the earth.
