DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

Wisdom 7:22b-8:1, Psalm 119:89-91, 130, 135 & 175, Luke 17:20-25



Wisdom 7:22b-8:1

Wisdom is a Gift of the Holy Spirit.  It is through Wisdom which comes from God that we are able to understand the Word who came down from heaven and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary and became Man.  The Man that all of us are called to emulate in every way always.  Having Wisdom we can not only desire with passionate fervor but also with her help, strive daily to become a reflection of Him who made us His brothers  and sisters, adopted children of His Father and co-heirs with Him to the Kingdom of God.  

Mary is the embodiment of Wisdom.  She is God's mirror and she reflects God to perfection because she was undefiled by sin, death and corruption from the moment of her conception and until the sleep of peace came upon her and lifted her body and soul into the bosom of God, there to be crowned Queen of all that is visible and invisible.

Psalm 119:89-91, 130, 135 & 175

The Eternal Word of God made Flesh is the Image of the invisible God made visible.  Although we are unfaithful despite all he has done for us, He remains faithful.  He is the same yesterday, today and forever.  God created all things in heaven on earth and under the earth through Him and all are subject to His rule and dominion.  

Wisdom is given to those who with childlike hearts free from guile, the innocent who are incapable of deceit, they do not understand evil and are perplexed by it.  The command of God is love.  It is Love that makes the Father and Son One in the Love of the Holy Spirit.  One God yet each a separate Person but so perfectly and completely united that there is no other union as perfect as the union of the Three Persons in One God. 

Luke 17:20-25
 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this people

My Beloved, to experience rejection especially by those who knew You must have been one of the hardest sorrows to bear.  

The Kingdom of God is already among us.  Her lamp is lit and is set high on the hill top so all who see it can walk by the light she sheds and they will neither stumble nor fall. No one who is led by her will be left to perish by the wayside.  No false prophets or false teaching and doctrine will veer her from the course set for her by her Bridegroom.  Her compass is true and points to the Kingdom of God.  All those who trust in her, obey her and follow her teachings are guaranteed to come home to You in the Kingdom of the Father, for You have promised that the gates of hell shall never prevail against her.

Thank You!!!
