Daily Meditation: Isaiah 26:21
Isaiah 26:21
21 For look, the Lord is coming out of his dwelling; he will punish the inhabitants of the earth for their sins. The earth will reveal the blood shed upon her and will not conceal her slain any longer.
My Beloved, we sin with impunity and we have the mistaken impression that it is OK because calamity does not befall us. The earth is stained with the blood of the innocents and we will be called to account for the brother or sister whose life has been cruelly snuffed out in abortuaries. All of us who are silent are just as guilty because we did not speak in defense of our littlest neighbors. Have mercy on us O Lord! Have mercy on us!

To all who come to You my Beloved Jesus, You extend this loving invitation of drawing us all into Yourself, so we can share in Your divine Son-ship with the Father. You ask us to permit You to place Your Yoke of love on us and as we walk together, bound in love, You will help us to live in joyful union with You in this life and eternally in union with You in the life to come. What more could Your little one ask for? Nothing. Thank You.
