DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
If then you were raised with Christ,
seek what is above,
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. COL3:1
ACTS 4:23-31
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
If You are with us no power can stand against us. The Holy Spirit gives us a spirit of boldness not of timidity. Too often we make excuses that we lack the knowledge, the education, the ability to speak well and for every person who goes out boldly to preach the Good News there are hundreds more who receiving gladly the free gift of faith, are content to hide it under a bushel of excuses refusing to share it with the world.
The early church teaches us how to pray and release the power of the Holy Spirit on us and on the world. We need to rid ourselves of the mantle of timidity and cowardice and put on Your armor and preach and teach boldly in Your Name. For there is no other Name by which we can be saved.
PSALM 2:1-9
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
The rulers of the earth have always conspired against those who worship You in spirit and truth. The enemies of the Church are legion within and without. But all who take refuge in You are safe.
We are Your inheritance and the time is coming when Evil will be banished from the earth and all will worship the one true God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
JOHN 3:1-8
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
You are merciful. You meet us where we are in the midst of our weakness, our timidity, our failure, our excuses and You minister to us just as You ministered to Nicodemus. He was timid and afraid to come to You by day even though he recognized that You were a teacher sent by God. He sought You under the cover of darkness but You did not condemn him for his lack of courage.
It is in Baptism that we are made children of God. We are washed clean of original sin and given the gift of faith through the power of the Holy Spirit who from this moment on will make our body His temple.
The power of the Holy Spirit can be released fully in us only when we grant Him the freedom to do so. Sadly too many of us will remain too timid, too fearful, too weak, too intimidated by the world to yield to Him completely.
