Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Friday of the Eighteenth Week of Ordinary Time
The Way Of The Cross
On Friday, immerse yourself in my Sacred Passion. During
the day, meditate on the Way of the Cross. From noon to three,
adore my sacred wounds.” (Note, this can be done even at work
or school.) (Jesus) (April 6, 1962)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to his disciples,
“Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world
and forfeit his life? (Matthew 16)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord, so many want to avoid the cross in their lives. We want everything easy- we want our Heaven here! But there is no way to Heaven except through the Cross of Jesus. We have so many crosses- family worries, health concerns, work problems, the state of our nation and our world, our own helplessness to avoid sin. But if we unite them to Your Cross Lord throughout our day out of love for You and for the salvation of souls You will be faithful and You will walk us through the valley!
