Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Wednesday of the Eighth Week of Ordinary Time
The Word Of The Lord Remains Forever
Jesus: “And the Word became Flesh. Penetrate and live in this sublime mystery, which signifies the Redemption of the world.” (Jesus) (October 15, 1962)
Today’s Readings: “All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory like the flower of the field;
the grass withers,
and the flower wilts;
but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
This is the word that has been proclaimed to you. (1 Peter 1)
Prayer Meditation- O Lord we love You, we bless You and we adore You because we could meditate forever on You, the Word Became Flesh. All else fades but not Your Word which remains forever. Heaven and Earth will pass away but not Your Word (Matthew 24:35). Not now and not ever! But Lord are we really living in and remaining in Your Word? Are we scrolling social media or praying Your Word out loud when we awake? So easy to do with so many apps these days that have the Daily Readings and the Liturgy of the Hours, just five minutes of the right kind of scrolling can put us in the right mindset, which is Your Mind, all day! Do we go to Mass and participate in the Table of Your Word and the Table of the Eucharist, which is You, The Word ready to strengthen us and heal us! Do we at least pop in for Adoration and hang on Your Word like Mary of Bethany? Do we repeat Your Word, the Sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6) out loud not only in spiritual warfare but in praise and worship throughout the day. If we don’t know Bible verses do we just whisper and repeat Your Name in all circumstances? So many ways we can penetrate and live in Your Word, let us not just count them but let us multiply them as prayer without ceasing not just for ourselves but all of our brothers and sisters. Let Your blessings fall like celestial dew on this world that You have redeemed and that You are even now sanctifying so that Your Kingdom will reign here on Earth as it is in Heaven!
