Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Friday of the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time
Behold This Heart
Jesus asked, “Cannot I work a miracle?” “But I am not
worthy, Lord.” “Nevertheless, I will work a miracle. I will so bless the problem which seems
impossible that all will be straightened out.” (Jesus) (August 3, 1962)
Today’s Readings: But Jesus said to them,
“A prophet is not without honor except in his native place
and in his own house.”
And he did not work many mighty deeds there
because of their lack of faith. (Matthew 13)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, have we allowed You to be too familiar? You are fully present in our Churches and in our hearts but yet we take You for granted. We don’t think of You or turn to You in prayer unless we need something- and then it is on our timetable and not Yours! We set up barriers- distrust, unbelief, wanting to have things turn out our way, and even to despair that You as God may not be big enough for our problems! We have not because we ask not! (James 4:3). Lord we do not give You honor in Your own house- not in our Churches and not in our hearts! Lord open our eyes to Your Goodness, to Your Heart which has spared us nothing and teaches us to pray with our whole hearts- Jesus I trust in You!
