Today’s Consuming Fire Meditation- – A Daily Dose of the Flame of Love Diary Served Up with Today’s Scriptures
Tuesday of the Twenty Ninth Week of Ordinary Tim
Vigilant
“Your living faith in Me keeps your soul in a continual freshness and makes you ready to receive abundant graces. Hence, My little one, do not serve anyone but Me.” (Jesus) (August 1, 1963)
Today’s Readings: Jesus said to his disciples:
“Gird your loins and light your lamps
and be like servants who await their master’s return from a wedding,
ready to open immediately when he comes and knocks.
Blessed are those servants
whom the master finds vigilant on his arrival.
Amen, I say to you, he will gird himself,
have them recline at table, and proceed to wait on them.
And should he come in the second or third watch
and find them prepared in this way,
blessed are those servants.” (Luke 12)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, today we hear in today’s Gospel about the vigilant servants ready for the Master’s arrival. In fact, that is the watchful and waiting attitude that You expect of those who are Your followers and disciples. Because as no one can know the hour or the day when You may return no one can know when we may appear before You at the end of our own earthly lives. Are we ready to appear before You and tell You about ourselves? Lord, may we live confidently in living faith and ready to receive Your abundant graces each day! Let us serve no one or nothing but You!
