Today’s Consuming Fire
Meditation- A Daily Dose of the Flame of
Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Fourth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
If
Today You Hear His Voice Harden Not Your Hearts
“Enter
into battle, we will be the conquerors. My Flame of Love will blind Satan to
the same extent that all of you spread it around the world. Just as the whole
world knows my name, so I want all to know that the Flame of Love of my heart
is performing miracles in the depths of the hearts.” (Mary) (Compendium Page
111)
Today’s Readings: Oh, that today you would hear his voice: “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the desert, Where your fathers tempted me; they tested me though they had seen my works. (Psalm 95)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, we know we have been saved by Your Grace but have we really been set free? Are there areas where we are struggling- habits, sins and vices from which we just cannot get free? Are there areas where we hear Your Voice whispering to us but we just don’t want to let it, whatever it is, go? Are we like the poor man in today’s Gospel who though bound by Satan, recognized You, but was afraid of what Your presence meant for him because it would mean change? (Mark 1:21-28) Lord deliverance can be scary! And You just want us to be quiet and still so we can let You work because we can’t set ourselves free in our own power! Lord, help us to enter the battle, to allow Your Flame of Love to perform real miracles in the depths of our hearts so that whatever is still keeping us in chains will be defeated and we will walk in true freedom! Because if The Son has set us free we are free indeed! (John 8:36)
