DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life;
you have the words of everlasting life. Jn 6:63C, 68C
Deuteronomy 30:10-14
Psalm 69:14, 17, 30-31, 33-34, 36-37
Colosians 1:15-20
Luke 10:25-37
Deuteronomy 30:10-14
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
If only we loved You as we ought we would find that listening to Your Voice and obeying Your commandments is a joy. We would turn our steps quickly back to You when we failed. You make it so easy for us to love You and worship You as we ought but we are hard-hearted, stubborn, and self-willed. The Father revealed His great love for us by sending You into the world to save us. He thought us worth saving at so great a price when in truth He could have just annihilated us and started over.
But God has never given up on us. He gave us the gift of faith so we can believe and keep His commandments of love. He makes it easy for us to know His will for us because You sent Your Holy Spirit to dwell in us to instruct us and guide us in the Way we ought to go. You gave us Your own Flesh and Blood so we can be sustained on this journey as we go through this valley of tears. No, the Love of God and the Word of God are not something out there but right here within us constantly inviting us to an intimate, loving relationship with You and a life of loving service to our neighbor.
