DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will never die.
JN 11:25A, 26
EZEKIEL 37:12-14
PSALM 130:1-8
ROMANS 8:8-11
JOHN 11:1-45
EZEKIEL 37:12-14
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
You love us too much to permit us to die in our sins. We were created by God to love Him and to be loved in return. We were created for love. This is why we suffer so much when we choose to sin and deliberately and willfully turn away from Your love.
You will only let us go so far before Your pity and mercy bring us back from the graves we have made for ourselves. Thank You, Beloved, for never giving up on us but for Your constant invitation to return to You. Thank You for Your Holy Spirit who enables us to begin anew. Thank You, for forgiving our sins and restoring our relationship with God when we return with humble and contrite hearts.
PSALM 130:1-8
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
In these dark days, our cries for help rise up to the highest heavens and I know that You hear our voice and that You are reaching down to us to save us. We know we have sinned. We confess that we have willfully turned away from all that was true, good, noble, and beautiful, and we have wallowed in the miry depths of ugliness, impurity, debauchery, and evil.
If You made a note of our sins Lord every one of us would be condemned to eternal death. But You are a God of love. Full of mercy, tenderness, compassion, and kindness. Thank You for Your eagerness to forgive the sinner and to restore Your friendship with us.
We are awake Beloved. We know we have sinned and we also know that the chastisement sent upon us is well-deserved. We are sorry. We ask You to forgive us. Send us Your Holy Spirit once again and with Your help, we promise to sin no more.
ROMANS 8:8-11
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
You have brought home to us most vividly in these days that we cannot be creatures of the flesh alone. We are body and spirit and we are created by God for a purpose. We are given life here on earth to prepare us for a life of glory with You in eternity. Even before God laid the foundations of the world He loved us. He brought us out of nothing to live in Your glorious light.
When the time of our passing comes from this life to the next the same Spirit of God that raised You to life and which is also given to us, will raise us too. Thank You for saving us. Thank You, Father, for sending Your Son Jesus to redeem us, thank You, Beloved, for Your life-giving Spirit for if we did not have Him we could do nothing that was pleasing to God. Truly, it is the Spirit that gives life the flesh alone brings only death and decay.
JOHN 11:1-45
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
Your message to Martha and her sister, Mary on hearing their brother was ill was, "This illness is not to end in death but is for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it." It is one of great consolation to us too. For while Lazarus whom You raised to life after being in the grave for over three days died surely died again later You are given the power to give us eternal life because You share the glory of Your Resurrection with those who are members of Your Body.
During the years granted to us here on earth, we are pilgrims who are invited to be yoked to You. We are invited to walk in the light through the grace granted to us in the Sacraments. The hour of death will come eventually to each one of us and then will come judgment.
I am the resurrection and the life, says the Lord;
whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will never die.
