DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.
Luke 10:17-24
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
The seventy-two disciples were overjoyed at the power they possessed and demonstrated publicly when You sent them in twos to cure the sick and to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God.
But like them, we can get so caught up in the elation of the work and the goodwill it generates that we can forget about lies at the heart of the mission. We are only the instruments through which the Holy Spirit acts. We ought never to forget our own frailties as it will keep us humble.
Yes, Satan has already been vanquished by the power of the Cross, and so we are already victorious in You.
Behold, I have given you the power
'to tread upon serpents' and scorpions
and upon the full force of the enemy
and nothing will harm you.
Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you,
but rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
Here we have a beautiful example of how You praised the Father and rejoiced int he Holy Spirit for it was the Father's will that You come into the world and reveal to us the truth about God, His love for us, and the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,
you have revealed to little ones the mysteries of the Kingdom.

Luke 10:17-24
Job 42:1-3, 5-6, 12-17
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
The faith of Job just as the faith of Abraham is the kind of faith that we are called to have in You. All our experiences of life teach us this eternal truth: God loves us more than we can ever know. He loves us as a Father and provides for all our needs. We need never be anxious, or troubled, or fearful for our God is an awesome God. When we place all our hopes, dreams, and plans in His safe hands we can be quite certain that we will never be disappointed.
Beloved Father of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my Father too, I trust You, I believe in You, I hope in You and above all Abba, I love You. Thank You for creating me and thank You for the glorious, eternal destiny that You have for me. Amen.
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
You are Light and if Your Face shines on me, I shall be bathed in Your Light and the darkness shall not overcome, nor overwhelm me.
You desire that I learn the ways of Wisdom that I may always choose the Way that leads to eternal life. Thank You for the times of suffering and affliction they have taught me well that true joy comes in being closely united with You and to yielding to Your will in all things.

To all who believe is given the power to do all You have done and even greater things than You did because You are now with the Father and You intercede on our behalf night and day. The reason we do not see so much of that power in this age is because of our ignorance, spiritual lethargy, and an all-consuming desire to be children of the world and the flesh rather than aspire to be all that the Father desires for His children.
