Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Wednesday of the Twenty Fifth Week of Ordinary Time
Take Nothing For The Journey
Jesus: “My daughter, renounce yourself. I keep insisting on this because you can only share in My work of Redemption if you live united with Me at every moment. There must be no interruption… (Jesus) (March 4-7 1962)
Today’s Readings: Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority
over all demons and to cure diseases,
and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God
and to heal the sick.
He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey,
neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money,
and let no one take a second tunic.
Prayer Meditation: Lord, today we read how the Apostles were sent out and that they were to take nothing for the journey. Lord we want to follow You and serve You and yet how many of us are holding onto baggage that we keep dragging behind us. The baggage of sins, our past, our appetites, wants, and desires. The baggage of our own ego and wanting to be in charge. And yet to follow You and share in Your Work of Redemption is to die to ourselves so that it is not us who live but Christ who lives in us (Galatians 2:20). Impossible to do without Your Grace- Jesus we trust in You!
