Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Our Lady of Lourdes
Carried In Her Arms
After this, I was in such a state of mind that I almost did not have strength to walk. I felt that physical strength was no longer needed; only the strength of my soul carried me with the Blessed Virgin to travel the dark paved roads of Bethlehem.(August 31, 1962)
Today’s Readings: As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms,
and fondled in her lap;
As a mother comforts her child,
so will I comfort you;
in Jerusalem you shall find your comfort. (Isaiah 66)
Prayer Meditation- Today we honor the Blessed Virgin Mary in her title as Our Lady of Lourdes. The Immaculate Conception came down from Heaven to a young girl to teach us, heal us, and restore us! There are times Lord that can be so tough- illness or caring for those who are ill. We can feel so overwhelmed. And yes we want healing but sometimes what we really need first is to be heard and to be held because the road can seem so dark. And yet Lord, Our Blessed Mother traveled many dark roads and she knows what it is like to be totally emptied of strength in the natural and yet Her Strength of Soul because of Her union with You at all times carried Her through. And She wants to carry us through, Her children, and bring us to Your Comfort and Peace which surpasses all understanding! (Philippians 4:7). Our Lady of Lourdes please intercede for us for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healing in Jesus Name!
