Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ
Fed With Manna
The sweet Savior filled my soul with such an attraction for His Sacred Body and Precious Blood that for weeks I could only meditate on the Eucharist. It was His desire that He and I penetrate deeply into these inexhaustibly profound words: “He who eats My Body and drinks My Blood remains in Me and I in him.” I cannot describe what I experienced in my soul while I meditated. (Elizabeth) (July 20, 1962)
Today’s Readings: He therefore let you be afflicted with hunger,
and then fed you with manna,
a food unknown to you and your fathers,
in order to show you that not by bread alone does one live,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of the LORD. (Deuteronomy 8)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we praise You, we bless You and we adore You and we beg pardon for all that do not praise, bless, and adore You!! Because it is on meditating on The Word, as Elizabeth did on today’s Gospel, John 6, that we prepare our hearts to receive You fully! Lord we are all afflicted with hunger, our hearts are restless until they rest in You (St. Augustine), but today we give You nothing but thanksgiving for not only the Holy Communions of today but for all that are to come and for all that we have received in our lives- every single one a total gift of Yourself to strengthen us for the abundant life You have meant for each one of us in You! Lord we are not worthy, but only say the Word and our souls will be healed!
