With All of Our Strength
Therefore, renounce yourself completely with all your strength and all your will. You must serve only Me. No one else and nothing else now exist for you. Only I.” (Jesus) (September 1, 1962)
Today’s Readings: “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone! Therefore, you shall love the LORD, your God, with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today.” (Deuteronomy 6)
Prayer Meditation- Lord, You have told us in today’s Gospel the meaning of all the commandments. Love of You and love of neighbor which flows from love of You. We love You in others made in Your likeness and image. Even when we don’t feel like it, because it is all in the will and not in our feelings. Lord, please think in our thinking, breathe in our breathing, speak in our speaking so that it is Your Love living in us and not our own poor love which is subject to our whims and moods because we are waves tossed by the wind (James 1:6) when left to our own devices. Lord, help us to give our all- all of our heart, soul, and strength to serve only You! As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord! (Joshua 24:15)
