Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Tuesday of the Seventeenth Week of Ordinary Time
Shine Like The Sun
If they used the Sacrament of Penance to polish these treasures, they would shine again with the light of My graces. But they have no interest and are distracted by the world’s glitter. Whoever does not gather with Me, scatters.” (Jesus) (May 24, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Then the righteous will shine like the sun
in the Kingdom of their Father.
Whoever has ears ought to hear.” (Matthew 13)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, so much of the world can appear dark. World events and news can bring us down and so can our daily lives. We are to be the light but so many of us have our lights under the bushel (Matthew 5:15) of anger, anxiety, worry, despair, fear, and sin. Your light will never shine though us or on us with all of that gunk on the windshield of our souls. Because Lord we don’t like to admit it but with all of that weighing us down we may well find ourselves in the weed category. Even in grace we can have thorns and thistles that we do not let You pluck out entirely. So let us examine ourselves, if You are not shining through us what is blocking the Sun of Your Grace? Do we need to use the Sacrament of Penance perhaps to polish the treasures we are trying to hold in our Earthen vessels (2 Corinthians 4:7)? O Lord we can do nothing without You (John 5:15). So let us let You in so that You, the Son and Our Sun will shine again with the light of Your Graces in us and through us for Your Glory and the good of all souls!
