Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Nothing Will Separate Us
Jesus: “My daughter, accept everything for My glory. The suffering, the peace in your soul, its anguish and doubts, because all of that will appear in My glory. When your body leaves the earth, you will enjoy this glory with Me, impacting favorably on the souls living on earth. Repeat frequently with the angels, ‘Glory to God.'” (December 2, 1964)
Today’s Readings: Brothers and sisters:
What will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will anguish, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or the sword?
No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor present things, nor future things,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor any other creature will be able to separate us
from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Prayer Meditation- Lord today the readings are all about Your Love for us. About how You are moved with pity for us (Matthew 14) and You long to supply what we really need. Because our hearts are restless until they rest in You! (St. Augustine). You take the broken fragments of our lives and gather them up to make something beautiful out of them even as You give us Your all in the breaking of the bread- Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity!. What an exchange- our brokenness and mess offered up in exchange for the Love that will never leave or us forsake us at every Mass. Absolutely nothing, can separate us from Your Love- not life, not death, not disease, not family troubles, and not anxiety because in You we are more than conquerors and we will live with You forever! Let us accept everything for Your Glory and for the salvation of souls because You will never leave us orphans. (John 14:18).
