DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
whoever follows me will have the light of life. Jn 8:12
Exodus 32:15-24, 30-34
Psalm 106:19-23
John 11:19-27
Exodus 32:15-24, 30-34
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
Left to ourselves, with no direction, and no strong shepherd, we will act just as the people of Israel did when Moses went up to the mountain. We are weak. Very often it does not take too strong a temptation for us to lapse and go back to old ways. Thank You, Beloved, for Your Holy Spirit Thank You, for the Sacraments, especially the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. Without these Beloved, we would have fallen by the wayside and been trampled upon and lost forever.
The graver our sin, the greater is Your mercy and compassion. Thank You for never abandoning us but for constantly inviting us to return and welcoming us back into the fold. Thank You for telling us that there is great rejoicing in heaven when the sinner comes home.
Thank You for appointing angels to accompany us, assisting us, and praying for us on our journey from this life to the next.
Psalm 106:19-23
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
Today the psalmist invites us to give You thanks for You are good. Yes, Beloved, You are good all the time, and all the time You are awesome.
The psalmist recalls the wonders You did for the people of Israel as You led them from slavery to freedom.
Today, I wish to thank You, Father, for sending Your Son into the world to be our Savior and for revealing Your unfathomable love for us. Thank You, Beloved, for accepting the will of the Your Father and becoming a willing Victim for our sins and paying the ultimate price for our redemption. Thank You, Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Father and the Son, for all the help we and grace we receive by Your living presence in us.
Stay with me Lord until the day closes and night falls and may I awake to behold Your glory forever. Amen.
John 11:19-27
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
Martha was the one with the generous, and welcoming heart. She opened the door to welcome You and You dined with them. She prepared the meal for You. Her love was visible in her service. True, at first, she was resentful because she through Mary was shirking. But when You gently chided her about how each must use their charisms, she did not become bitter and angry but took correction in the right spirit.
When her brother Lazarus died and she knew that You were on Your way to visit them she came in haste to meet You. This family of siblings loved You very much. The sensitive Mary stayed home with her grief. Martha ran to You. She was a woman of action. She was outspoken. “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.” She was a woman of faith.
It was to Martha that You revealed this wondrous truth, “I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and anyone who lives and believes in me will never die."
You then ask Martha and each one of us who will read or hear these words, "Do you believe this?” And our response like hers must be, “Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who is coming into the world.” In believing we are saved.
Thank You, Beloved for our redemption and our hope.
