Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Optional Memorial of Saint Faustina
That Christ May Dwell In Your Hearts
Jesus: “How wonderful that you have come. How I awaited you! At other times, I told you to be immersed in Me like a drop of water in wine. I am the wine, you are the water. Just be united with Me and you will be astonished. Only I will reign in you. My Body and Blood give strength and life to all of you. How happy you will be to receive more of My life-giving strength. Gather with Me.” (Jesus) (October 9, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Brothers and sisters:
I kneel before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory
to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self,
and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith;
that you, rooted and grounded in love,
may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, thank You for this beautiful memorial of Saint Faustina, the Secretary of Divine Mercy which is the Heart of the Gospel! She asked You to make of her a living host- a living sacrifice that daily burns in Your Honor (Diary, 1826) To be a sacrifice taking You into the world to save souls! To have Your life-giving strength, strengthened through Your Holy Spirit in the inner self. To be rooted and grounded in Your Love and to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth, length, height, and depth and to know Your Love that surpasses all knowledge and to be filled with Your Fullness! O Lord, let us today also ask to be living hosts because You invite us to be immersed in You like a drop of water in wine! Lets us offer ourselves as living sacrifices holy and pleasing to You (Romans 12) for Your Glory and for the good of all!
