DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to mere children. MT 11:25
WISDOM 12:13, 16-19
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
We thank God our Father, for the Incarnate Word. We thank You for coming to into the world to reveal the Father's immense and eternal love for us through You. Your's is the Face of God. You have walked among us, You have permitted mere mortals to walk with God, to touch Him, to learn from Him, to be healed by Him in all the ways in which mortal flesh needs healing.
Thank You, Beloved, for laying down Your life for us, as Your Father willed in order to redeem us. Thank You for instituting the Sacraments and for sending Your Holy Spirit who is the channel through which we receive grace. Thank You for forgiveness of sins without which we would be unclean and hence could not enter the presence of God. Thank You for the hope given to all mankind in and through You alone.
PSALM 86:5-6, 9-10, 15-16
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
As children of Adam we have inherited sin and even though it is washed away in the sacramental waters of Baptism we still suffer its lasting effects. This is why, God in His infinite mercy and compassion gave You up as the only perfect, holy, and acceptable Lamb of Sacrifice, without stain or blemish so we can always find forgiveness at the Mercy Seat.
Your Blood, Beloved, has the power to wash away every sin no matter how grave, nor how many times we may sin. A repentant, contrite heart will always find healing and forgiveness.
You are eager to forgive. You are always attentive to the sound of my voice and hasten to help me. If only the world knew of the medicine that heals the ills of all humanity all would desire to be embraced by Holy Mother Church. May we who are called by Your Name be effective witnesses of the Truth in order to draw the whole world to You so, 'All the nations shall come to adore you and glorify your name.'
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
God, our Father, knew our need for a Savior so He sent You into the world. You knew that while You have redeemed us, the effects of the sin of Adam would make it difficult for us to strive after holiness and purity without the Helper and so You sent us the Holy Spirit. Only the Spirit of God who knows God and knows everything about us is able to pray perfectly on our behalf, making our needs known to Him according to the will and mind of God.
The Holy Trinity lovingly conspires to ensure that someday, after our pilgrim journey comes to an end we will enter that place of eternal rest prepared for us in the bosom of our heavenly Father.
MATTHEW 13:24:43
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
As long as we have today, we have the opportunity to repent, to ask for forgiveness, and to come home to the Father's house.
Yes, You are a God of love, mercy, tenderness, and compassion. Slow to anger and rich in mercy. But time will run its course for us all. We were created for eternity. We are singularly blessed because it is not by accident but by the will of God that we were born for an eternal and glorious destiny.
Anyone who has heard of You, anyone who once believed but has walked away from You, anyone who has ever asked the question, "What is truth?" but did not wait for an answer, or was not willing to hear the answer, or lacked the courage to act on the answer, needs to truly introspect. Today will not last. Now is the time. For our own sake let us listen for time eventually runs out for all.
The Son of Man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all things that provoke offences and all who do evil, and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Then the virtuous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Listen, anyone who has ears!’
