DAILY HOLY MASS READINGS
Acts 11:19-26, Psalm 87:1-7, John 10:22-30
Acts 11:19-26
My soul’s beloved, You confirm what You have said to me in
Your Word for me today. If the hand of the Lord is with those who preach and
teach the Good News then a great number will turn to the Lord and believe.
There will be signs of the presence of God in the miracles that take place when
good people pray and are filled with faith in You and the Holy Spirit. If we
remain in You we can expect to bear good fruit but apart from You we will soon wither and die. Let me
never forget this truth; nothing can be won by force unless it is the force of
agape love.
Psalm 87:1-7
My soul’s beloved, we are told that in Antioch the
believers were first known as Christians. You are Christ, the Anointed One of
God and we are Your followers so we are called Christians and bearers of the
Good News, the fruit we are called to produce and present to others is You. Holy
Mother Church is the New Jerusalem, the New Zion and all who are born of her
are born of God and know God for we are baptized in the Truth of God’s Living,
Eternal Word. We rejoice that our names are registered in the Book of Life and
at the end of this life You will receive us in the next; there to live with You
eternally.
John 10:22-30
My soul’s beloved, I thank You for once again confirming
Your Word to me today. It is by our fruits that we know if one is good – You
asked Your hearers to look at Your Works done in the Name of Your Father and to
believe that You are who You say You are – The Christ the Son of the Living
God. But then only those who belong to Your flock know You and recognize Your
voice and follow You just as You know them. Thank You for Your assurance that
we will never perish, and that evil cannot snatch us from You for You are our
Good Shepherd. We are entrusted to You by the Father Himself and made one in
You we are also made one with the Father in and through Your Holy Spirit.
