1 Kings 8:1-7, 9-13

My Beloved, just as the Presence of the Lord filled the temple when the Ark of the Covenant of God was placed in the Inner Sanctuary , so too when I receive You in the most Holy Eucharist You enter the inner sanctuary of my soul and the presence of the most High fills my body which is the temple of the Holy Spirit.  The cherubim have their wings spread over me and I become for a while the dwelling place of God.   

Abouna, may every reception of the the Holy Eucharist transform me into the Image and likeness of Your Son.

Psalm 136:6-10

My Beloved, Your kindness endures forever.  From the rising of the sun to its setting Your glory, power and majesty are seen at work  in creation.  You are the Lord, the God of the heavens, the earth and all things visible and invisible.  Your rule is eternal.  You are God and You are Love.

Mark 6:53-56

My Beloved, no matter how turbulent the waters of life may be, if we are with You int eh Bark of Peter we can be certain that You will bring us safely to our eternal destination.  We are called to spread the Good News that with You all can find healing, health and wholeness in ever area of our being.  Nothing is beyond Your ability to touch and cleanse.  You bring love, pardon, forgiveness and mercy.  In You my Lord we find rest and peace.  Thank You for being my place of refuge and harbor.

1 Kings 3:4-13, Psalm 119:9-14, Mark 6:30-34

1 Kings 3:4-13

My Beloved, Solomon knew what to ask for when God said to him, "Ask what you want me to give you." The same is true for us.  If we, like Solomon, ask wisely for what will enable us grow into the person You desire us to be, You will grant us not only that which we ask for but everything else as well for there is none as generous as You my Lord,.  You give in full measure, shaken together and spilling over.

Mark 6:30-34

My Beloved, when we are successful, when we do well, there is a human tendency to preen with self satisfaction forgetting that it was You who gave us success.  It is important to get away from the crowd, to stay in silence with You, meditating and contemplating Your Word and getting a right perspective.  With pride follows every sin and we must guard against it vigilantly.  There will always be people in need demanding that they be met, but if we have nothing we will be unable to give.  You my Beloved supply all our needs.
