DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower;
all who come to him will live forever.
Exodus 16:1-5, 9-15
Psalm 78:18-19, 23-28
Matthew 13:1-9
Exodus 16:1-5, 9-15
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
We are constantly grumbling about everything. Some of us are chronic grumblers we cannot see the blessings all we see are the trials. We are unable to grasp the truth that all things work together for good for those who love You.
We are like the children of Israel who witnessed the marvels that God worked to set them free from slavery to the Egyptians. They saw how God protected them despite the suffering they had to endure at the hand of Pharaoh and yet they did not trust You to provide for them. Each time they cried out You heard and You answered. God provided them with manna, bread from heaven. And when they craved for meat, God gave them quail. Each day they received enough for their needs.
God always provides all we ever need as we journey from this life to the next. You are Bread that came down from heaven. All who eat this Bread will live forever. The Bread that You give is Your Flesh for the life of the world.
Thank You.
Psalm 78:18-19, 23-28
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
The children of Israel asked, "Can God spread a table for us in the desert?" He does and He continues to do so.
God does spread a table for us in the desert of our lives and there He provides for the Bread from heaven. When we eat this Bread and we drink from the saving Cup we are strengthened as we journey through this valley of tears.
When we look at the Old Testament and the New we know that nothing is impossible for God. The manna which the people of Israel ate in the desert provided sustenance for their body.
You are the true Bread from heaven. At every Eucharist, we receive food for the journey that provides all the graces we need to face the challenges of each day.
Thank You for not giving us more than we can bear and for being yoked to us. We do not battle alone for You are with us always.
Matthew 13:1-9
My Love, Beloved of my soul,
Large crowds gathered around You because they were hungry for the Word. When You spoke to them You revealed the secrets of the Kingdom of God and how they could get there. You made God real and You told them through beautiful and moving parables that it was possible for them to know Him and love Him.
Today's Gospel reading is about the sower and the seed. One we have heard often and one that is repeated often in the Liturgy. You also explained what this parable meant. We know it well. But to know it in the head and to know it in the heart are two very different things.
The Gospel concludes with the words, "Whoever has ears ought to hear." Grant me this grace, Beloved of my soul, to hear and hearing to understand, and understanding to live the Word in all I do today. Amen.
The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower;
all who come to him will live forever.
