DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
The seed is the word of God, Christ is the sower; all who come to him will live forever.
JEREMIAH 14: 17-22
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
Truly Your words are alive and powerful and sharper than any double-edged sword. They will cut through our heart and spirit and kindle a purifying fire in us if we let it.
The words of the prophet Jeremiah are just as relevant to us today as when they were first spoken. Right through salvation history, God woos His sinful people who refuse to listen and be saved. How much longer will Your patience last? How far can we distance ourselves from the Way of Truth before we hurl ourselves in the abyss of eternal death?
The world grows darker each day. The voiceless are crushed, the poor are powerless, the helpless are snuffed out under the heel of the godless. How much longer Lord before You hear the prayers of Your faithful remnant and come to our aid and heal our broken lives and world?
PSALM 79:8-9, 11, 13
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
The Remedy for all the ills of the world is given to us yet we ignore it. Yours is the Name that saves. Yours is the all-powerful Name that is above every other, to You is given all glory, all dominion in heaven on earth and under the earth.
Through Your incarnation, Your passion, Your death, and Your glorious resurrection into heaven You have conquered. This is the Good News of salvation. Then why is it when we look at the world today it does not seem like it? Everywhere we look there is chaos, sickness, death, persecution, hunger, and misery. We have been obsessed with material things for ourselves and for our families and have forgotten that it is the spirit that gives life.
You have intervened once again in an unprecedented way because we deliberately turned away from You. Now, Beloved, may wisdom prevail as You lead us back to a simpler way of living. May we allow faith, hope, and love to be reignited so we may walk again in peace and tranquility of heart.
MATTHEW 13:36-43
My Beloved, Soul of my soul,
Your disciples ask You to explain the parable of the wheat and the weeds, You do, and You conclude with the words, 'Listen, anyone who has ears!’
The world has deliberately stopped its ears to the voice of reason and truth. The devil is having a field day sowing weeds among the wheat. Sometimes it feels like the wicked have overtaken the world and evil reigns everywhere. It is so easy to get disheartened. Our prayers seem to fall on deaf ears. But this is what satan wants us to believe. If we open our eyes we will discover that You are here, You are alive and You continue to work as leaven in the world.
Thank You for Your patience with us, Beloved for it is Your desire that all God's children be saved. Grant us the grace to continue to pray for each other and for the hastening of Your Kingdom on earth.
