Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Tuesday of the Twenty Third Week of Ordinary Time
Power Came Forth
Bring Me the problems of your neighbor and the difficulties in your family. I will set everything right. How can I set everything in order if you do not trust Me with your concerns? Trust in My power. I want your unconditional trust.” (Jesus) (August 1, 1962)
Today’s Gospel: And he came down with them and stood on a stretch of level ground.
A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem
and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon
came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
and even those who were tormented by unclean spirits were cured.
Everyone in the crowd sought to touch him
because power came forth from him and healed them all. (Luke 6)
Prayer Meditation: I think sometimes Lord, we think that healing and casting out unclean spirits was something You just did in the New Testament. Oh sure, we hear about healings in Church history and even now and then from friends or maybe we have even had miracles in our own life but how easily we forget. And we think we are all alone again, left stranded to figure out all of our difficulties in our families by ourselves. We can get so tired and worn out we just don’t even really ask you anymore, at least not with expectant faith. But that power, the New Testament power, that healed and cured and brought such hope is the same power that lives in us through Your Holy Spirit and in Your Church! Miracles happen every day, we just don’t always see them! So let us trust always in Your power with unconditional trust and let You work in all of our concerns, difficulties, and circumstances! Jesus we trust in You!
