Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Tuesday of the Thirty First Week of Ordinary Time
Emptying Ourselves
Oh, you fools! If you could only feel the immense pain your pious indifference causes to My Divine Heart. I am the Victim and it was not by pious attitudes but only by a continual acceptance of sacrifices that I brought about My redemptive work. Repent! Repent! Repent! This is what I am asking you. The voice of repentance reaches up to the throne of My heavenly Father. It is the voice holding back the arm of justice of My Father.” (Jesus) (November 8, 1964)
Today’s Readings: Brothers and sisters:
Have among yourselves the same attitude
that is also yours in Christ Jesus,
Who, though he was in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
something to be grasped.
Rather, he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
coming in human likeness;
and, found human in appearance,
he humbled himself,
becoming obedient to death,
even death on a cross. (Philippians 2)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You are God Alone and You came to Earth as fully man and fully God. And yet You humbled Yourself making Yourself a slave of all, humbling Yourself -fully obedient to the Will of the Father. You did not come as a religious leader nor did You look for any honors but You continually accepted sacrifices ultimately leading to You laying down Your life for us. So let us empty ourselves of any pride or vainglory because no matter how pious and good we believe we may be the fact is we are nothing and You are all! Lord Jesus, we bow down at the sound of Your Holy Name and we repent and turn to You who alone can redeem and sanctify us!
