Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Memorial of Saint Catherine of Siena
He Came As Light So That We Would Not Live In Darkness
Even when I keep you in the darkness of your doubts, I am with you. Do not forget that when I was asleep in the boat, I chided My apostles for their lack of faith. It takes only one word from Me to bring about silence and light in your soul. Sometimes, I will send it through other people; accept it, even if it is through the most insignificant person. I repeat: I do this to increase your humility. (October 1, 1962).
Today’s Readings: “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me
but also in the one who sent me,
and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me.
I came into the world as light,
so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. (John 12).
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, we love You, we adore You, and we thank You because You came into the world as light so that everyone who believes would not remain in darkness. O Lord even when we believe, You will keep us in darkness, those dark nights of the soul, to increase our humility and our trust. We forget You are just sleeping in the boat and we can feel like giving up in those nights of illness, grief, or just everyday doubts. Yet with just One Word, You silence our fears and bring back light into our souls! Today we thank You for today’s Saint, Saint Catherine of Siena, who through her famous Dialogue with You tells us that it is only through shadows that one comes to know the light! Lord Jesus let us believe, hope and trust whether we are in darkness or light because You are the Light which is healing and transforming us bit by bit into Your Marvelous Light! (1 Peter 2:9).
