Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Tuesday of the Twenty First Week of Ordinary Time
Judged Worthy
Hail Mary, my sweet Mother, I humbly implore you, keep me under your special protection. I am your unfaithful Carmelite daughter. I know I am not worthy of that title, even if I were to labor for centuries. to gain it. Come, Mother, and lead me to your Divine Son. (Elizabeth) (1961-1962)
Today’s Readings: But as we were judged worthy by God to be entrusted with the Gospel,
that is how we speak,
not as trying to please men,
but rather God, who judges our hearts. (1 Thessalonians 2:1-8)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we love You and praise You and adore You because St. Paul speaks of being judged worthy by You. How many of us like Elizabeth feel so very unworthy! And sometimes that feeling of unworthiness can keep us stuck afraid to leave our little boats and meet You on the water! It is when we keep our eyes on ourselves and not on You that we sink below the waves needing Your Steady Hand to lift us up! Because the fact is You have indeed entrusted us with the Gospel and You judge not our performance but our hearts in all that we do united to You! So let us ask Our Lady for Her protection and ask her to lead us to You in our nothingness knowing only You are worthy and we can do all things though You who strengthen us! (Philippians 4:13).
