Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Twenty Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Boldly To the Throne of Grace!
Our Lord praised her sacrifices and prayers. “Sacrifice and prayer! These are you instruments. The goal is to bring about the powerful work of Salvation. Oh, if your desires reach the throne of the heavenly Father, the results will be abundant.” (Jesus) (July 22-23, 1963)
Today’s Readings: For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help.
Prayer Meditation- Lord, we do not have a high priest who does not know what we are going through! You gave all so that we could be free! You want us to come boldly to the Throne of Grace, with total trust and abandonment. Yet our best instruments are prayer and sacrifice with the desire to please You and save souls! Like John and James in today’s Gospel we can have silly and immature wants and needs, O Lord, purify our hearts and desires in conformity to Your Perfect Will which is Love and Mercy itself!
