Romans 8:18-25
In this life you will have troubles, trials and tribulations this is why I pour on you grace upon grace when you receive the Sacraments of Life - Reconciliation and the Holy Eucharist. But in the word to come, __________ Mine you will have eternal life. The sorrows of this earthly life will not last, they are fleeting.
The whole world is under the weight of sin but the victory is won. The children of God have nothing to fear for I have triumphed over the world, the flesh and the devil. I took upon Myself all that was debase in the world and made it right . My Spirit is poured out o all flesh so you do not battle alone. You are the adopted child of My Father. Wait in hope. In hope you are saved and one day your faith and your hope in me will be rewarded with unending joy when you are united to Me, Love Incarnate, in perfect unity.
Psalm 120:1-6
My Beloved, before You came into the world to save us we were exiles without hope of ever returning home to God. But now our songs are filled with hope, our laughter is joyous. No one has a God like our God who send His only Son into the world in order to redeem us with His life.
We have received gifts too marvellous to comprehend. All those who were before us have sowed the seeds of faith which have resulted in the rich harvest of our conversion. All who have suffered and given up their lives in order to bring us the Good News of our salvation now rejoice in their reward. May we too in turn sow seeds and experience the joy of bringing in a rich harvest for Your glory - the glory of the almighty God.
Luke 13:18-21
My Beloved, our Protestant brethren refuse to accept any authority outside of the written Word in Sacred Scripture. yet, we see here so clearly that You left behind was like a mustard seed which the Apostles planted and the Church has carefully and vigilantly tended it and watched it grow until we can now rest in its shade and shelter among its branches.
Similarly, You left behind the yeast of Your Word which the Apostles have carefully kneaded into the batch of dough and today we see the fruits of their labor. For over 2000 years the Church and her innumerable Saints have contemplated the Word, revealing over time the infinite depth as new facets of the beauty, insight and wisdom of the all You did and said continue to be revealed Such are the unfathomable, unsearchable riches of the Word of God.
