SATURDAY OF WEEK EIGHTEEN IN ORDINARY TIME - 2023

DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS

Our Saviour Jesus Christ abolished death
and he has proclaimed life through the Good News. 2 TIM 1:10


DEUTERONOMY 6:4-13 ©

My Soul's Beloved,

From the beginning God's will and word are clear as we see from the instructions that Moses hands down to the people of God. There is One God and they were to love Him above and before all created things with all their strength and their being. Every other love and affection has to follow this great all-consuming love for God. They were also to instruct their children. They were to know the Law of God and know it so well that it would be inscribed on their hearts just as it was inscribed in their hearts. Unless children are trained in the ways of God they will succumb to the lure of evil and perish. 

We see this played out everywhere in the world and in the culture today. Ignorant parents and grandparents are raising ignorant children and they become easy prey to dark and evil forces. 

We are given the Church and the Sacraments these are our sure guide as we navigate this perilous life journeying to the Kingdom of God. We have been given all we need to sustain and nourish us every step of the way. We have Truth as our Guide. We have the Holy Spirit as our Advocate and God Himself as our Father.  Ignorance of God however is the cause of our destruction. Lead us back in the way of wisdom O Lord. Hasten to save us lest we perish eternally.
