Today’s Consuming Fire
Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s
Scriptures
Monday of the Third Week of Lent
Too Familiar? (There is a Prophet in
Israel)
“You know, the great sin of the world is to ignore My inspirations. It is because of that and lukewarm consecrated soul that the world is walking in darkness. They could help Me, but they are not even aware how dangerous their tepidity is. (Jesus) (First Sunday of January 1964 )
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to the people in
the synagogue at Nazareth:
“Amen, I say to you,
no prophet is accepted in his own native place. (Luke 4)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, it is easy to shake our heads at the town folk of Nazareth but we really should be pointing a finger back at ourselves. How many Masses attended without full attention, Sacraments received nonchalantly, and how much presumption that our parishes would always be available to us. We have had the bridegroom with us and we have given You at best often a perfunctory genuflection when we should have been listening attentively to You at Your feet like Mary of Bethany. Lord, wake us up- may we take this time to meditate on Your Word and in prayer- let us search for You in sorrow like the Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph and may we again have the joy of finding You in Your Father’s House!
