“Lord, when did I see you …in prison, and not help you?” Matthew 25:44
"Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you? Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, YOU DID IT TO ME." ~ Matthew 25:40
MEDITATION
"Jesus teaches us a very important lesson about Loving our neighbor and taking responsibility for others.
God will judge us not only for the wrong we have done but also for what we have failed to do.
“The scriptures present us with the choice between two kingdoms – the kingdom of Light and the kingdom of darkness. The choice is ours.
“Which kingdom do you serve? God's kingdom lasts forever because it is built on the foundation of God's Love and Justice. To accept Jesus as Lord and King is to enter a kingdom that will last forever where Righteousness, Love, Truth, and Peace dwell."
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus Christ, YOU are my Lord and King and there is no other. May YOUR Love rule in my heart that I may Think and Act with Charity towards all.”

“Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”
Scripture: Matthew 5:17-19
MEDITATION
“…The Lord loves justice and goodness and HE hates every form of wickedness and sin. HE wants to set us free from our unruly desires and sinful habits, so that we can choose to live each day in the peace, joy, and righteousness of HIS Holy Spirit (Romans 14: 17). To renounce sin is to turn away from what is harmful and destructive for our minds and hearts, and our very lives. As HIS followers we must love and respect HIS commandments and hate every form of sin. Do you love and revere the commands of the Lord?”
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, grant this day, to direct and sanctify, to rule and govern our hearts and bodies, so that all our thoughts, words and deeds may be according to YOUR Father's law and thus may we be saved and protected through YOUR mighty help."

"For the sake of your sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. Jesus I trust in you..." ~ Divine Mercy
"Why did Jesus command His disciples to be silent about His identity as the anointed Son of God? They were, after-all, appointed to proclaim the good news to everyone. Jesus knew that they did not yet fully understand His mission and how He would accomplish it."
Cyril of Alexandria (376-444 AD), an early church father, explains the reason for this silence:
There were things yet unfulfilled which must also be included in their preaching about Him.
They must also proclaim the cross, the passion, and the death in the flesh.
They must preach the resurrection of the dead, that great and truly glorious sign by which testimony is borne Him that the Emmanuel is truly God and by nature the Son of God the Father.
He utterly abolished death and wiped out destruction.
He robbed hell, and overthrew the tyranny of the enemy.
He took away the sin of the world, opened the gates above to the dwellers upon earth, and united earth to heaven.
These things proved Him to be, as I said, in truth God. He commanded them, therefore, to guard the mystery by a seasonable silence until the whole plan of the dispensation should arrive at a suitable conclusion." (Commentary on Luke, Homily 49) ~

JOHN 3:16
"God so LOVED the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him might not perish but might have eternal LIFE."
MEDITATION
“Today’s Gospel reading is full of promises to “everyone who Believes” in Jesus.
They will have Eternal Life (John 3:15).
They will Not Perish (3:16).
They will Not Be Condemned (3:18).
But what does it mean to Believe in Him?
“We might think that Believing in Jesus means being convinced that He is who He says He is. And it does. We agree with the Truth that He is the Messiah, the Son of God. We acknowledge His miracles and the wisdom of His teachings. But intellectual assent will get us only so far. As James says, “Even the demons Believe that and tremble.” (2:19)
“The Belief that Jesus is talking about here is an Act of the Will; it’s a Decision to place our Trust in Someone whom we Know and Love. That kind of personal connection with the Lord can spark a deep Faith that changes the way we think and behave...
“But even deeper, and at the heart of everything else, Faith is a Gift of Grace from God. Our belief is more than intellectual assent or an act of the will. It’s a Response to God’s Initiative. His Grace Opens our Minds to the Truth and moves us to place our lives in Jesus’ hands. Belief isn’t possible without God’s initial intervention. The Catechism puts it succinctly: “In faith, the human intellect and will cooperate with Divine Grace.” (155)
“Today is a day overflowing with Grace. So turn to the Lord and Affirm your Faith. Tell Jesus that you believe He is who He says He is. Entrust your life to Him. As you do, your Faith will continue to grow, and you will Trust even more deeply in Jesus’ Promise of Eternal Life.”
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus Christ, Your death brought Life for us. May Your Love consume and transform my Life that I may desire You above all else. Help me to Love what You Love, to Desire what You Desire, and to Reject what You Reject."

"Lord Jesus, by Your cross You have redeemed the world and revealed Your glory and triumph over sin and death. May I never fail to see Your glory and victory in the cross. Help me to conform my life to Your will and to follow in Your way of holiness."
"The miracles of Jesus revealed the majesty of God and displayed His grace and favor, especially towards the lowly and humble of heart. But with the miracles Jesus also gave a prophetic warning: There can be no share in God's glory without the cross. Jesus prophesied His own betrayal and crucifixion."

“Now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders. But this is how God fulfilled what HE had foretold through all the prophets, saying that HIS Christ would suffer. REPENT, then, and TURN TO GOD, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that HE may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. HE must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as HE promised long ago through HIS holy prophets. For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything HE tells you. Anyone who does not listen to HIM will be completely cut off from among HIS people.' " ~ Acts 3:17-23
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, change my heart and fill me with Your wisdom that I my love Your ways. Give me grace and courage to resist temptation and stubborn willfulness that I may truly desire to do what is pleasing to You."

“He is the Ultimate Gift to the World.” – Romans 5:15
Top 10 Reasons Why Jesus is the Reason for the Season...

“This child to be born is conceived by the gracious action of the Holy Spirit upon Mary, who finds favor with God (Luke 1:28).
This child will be "great" and "Son of the Most High" and "King," and His name shall be called "Jesus" (Luke 1:31-32), which means "the Lord saves." "He will save His people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).
The angel repeats to Mary, the daughter of the house of David, the promise made to King David: "The Lord God will give to Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of His kingdom there will be no end" (2 Samuel 7:12-16, Isaiah 9:6-7, Luke 1:32-33).”
PRAYER
"Heavenly Father, You offer us abundant Grace, Mercy, and Forgiveness through Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Help me to live a grace-filled life as Mary did by believing in Your Promises and by giving You my unqualified 'yes' to Your will and plan for my life."

"What is the gospel/good news which Jesus delivers?
“It is the good news of PEACE (restoration of relationship with God - Ephesians 6:15), of HOPE (the hope of heaven and everlasting life - Colossians 1:23 ), of TRUTH (God's word is true and reliable - Colossians 1:5), of PROMISE (HE rewards those who seek HIM - Ephesians 3:6)), of IMMORTALITY (God gives everlasting life - 2 Timothy 1:10), and the good news of SALVATION (liberty from sin and freedom to live as sons and daughters of God - Ephesians . 1:13)."
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, You have called me personally by name, just as You called Your first disciples. Help me to believe Your word and follow You faithfully.

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their Angels in Heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father...” Matthew 18:10
MEDITATION
"Whose glory do you seek?"
“Jesus made a dramatic gesture by placing a child next to Himself to show His disciples who really is the greatest in the kingdom of God. What can a little child possibly teach us about greatness? Children in the ancient world had no rights, position, or privileges of their own. They were socially at the "bottom of the rung" and at the service of their parents, much like the household staff and domestic servants. What is the significance of Jesus' gesture? Jesus elevated a little child in the presence of His disciples by placing the child in a privileged position of honor at His right side…”
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, teach me YOUR way of humility and simplicity of heart that I may find perfect Joy in YOU. May YOUR Light shine through me that others may see YOUR Truth and LOVE and find Hope and Peace in YOU."

"So must the Son of Man be lifted up"
Gospel reading: John 3:13-17
biblehub.com/context/john/3-13.htm
16 For God so Loved the world that HE gave HIS only Son, that whoever believes in HIM should not perish but have Eternal Life.
MEDITATION
"The proof of God's Love for us...
“There is no greater proof of God's Love for us then the sending of HIS Son to become one with us in our humanity and to lay down HIS life for us. "To ransom a slave God gave HIS Son" (an ancient prayer from the Easter vigil liturgy). God sent HIS Son to free us from the worst of tyrannies - slavery to sin and the curse of death. Jesus' sacrificial death was an act of total love through self-giving. Jesus gave HIMSELF completely out of Love for HIS Father. And HE willing laid down HIS life out of selfless Love for our sake and for our salvation. HIS death on the cross was both a total offering to God and the perfect sacrifice of atonement for our sin and the sin of the world.
“John tells us that God's Love cannot be limited because it is boundless and encompasses all of creation (John 3:16).
“The Love of God is rooted in Truth, Goodness, and Mercy...
“God gives us the freedom to choose whom and what we will Love and not Love. We can Love the darkness of sin and unbelief or we can Love the light of God's Truth, Goodness, and Mercy. If our Love is guided by Truth, Goodness, and that which is truly Beautiful, then we will choose for God and Love HIM above all else. What we Love shows what we prefer.
“Do you Love God who is the supreme good above all else? And do you seek to put HIM first in all your thoughts, cares, choices, and actions?"
"Lord Jesus Christ, Your death brought Life for us. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit that I may walk in Freedom and Joy as a child of God and as an heir with Christ of an eternal inheritance."

"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. Drill them into your children. Speak of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest. Bind them at your wrist as a sign and let them be as a pendant on your forehead. Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.” ~ Deuteronomy 6:5-9
~~~~~~~
“One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked Him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?” Jesus replied, “The first is this: Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall LOVE the Lord your God with all your Heart, with all your Soul, with all your Mind, and with all your Strength. The second is this: You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:28-31
~~~~~~~
“What is written in the law? How do you read it?” He said in reply, “You shall LOVE the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He replied to him, “You have answered correctly; do this and you will live.” ~ Luke 10:26
~~~~~~~
“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” HE said to him, “You shall LOVE the Lord, your God, with all your Heart, with all your Soul, and with all your Mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall LOVE your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.” ~ MATTHEW 22:34-40
~~~~~~~
MEDITATION
“Faith and Hope strengthen our LOVE for God…
What makes our LOVE for God and His commands grow in us? Faith in God and Hope in His promises strengthens us in the LOVE of God. They are ESSENTIAL for a good relationship with God, for being united with Him. The more we Know of God the more we LOVE Him and the more we LOVE Him the greater we Believe and Hope in His promises. The Lord, through the gift of the Holy Spirit, gives us a new freedom to LOVE as He LOVES. Do you allow anything to keep you from the LOVE of God and the Joy of serving others with a generous heart?…”
PRAYER
“Lord Jesus, Your LOVE surpasses all. Flood my heart with Your LOVE and increase my Faith and Hope in Your Promises. Help me to give myself in generous service to others as You have so generously given Yourself to me.” ~ www.dailyscripture.net
~~~~~~~
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, may Your LOVE always be the foundation of my life. Free me from every fear and selfish-concern that I may freely give myself in LOVING service to others, even to the point of laying my life down for their sake."

...Jesus speaks of the tremendous Trust He has in God His Father and the tremendous Trust we ought to have in Him, our Good Shepherd.

"My trust is in you, O Lord." (Psalm 31:15)
"In God we trust" was adopted as the official motto of the United States in 1956 as an alternative or replacement to the unofficial motto of E pluribus unum, adopted when the Great Seal of the United States was created and adopted in 1782.
In God we trust has appeared on U.S. coins since 1864 and on paper currency since 1957. Some secularists object to usage of the reference...
~ Wikipedia
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, You came to save us from sin and the power of death. May I always rejoice in Your salvation and trust in Your plan for my life".
#prayer @ www.DailyScripture.Net or APP at Daily Scripture Servants of the Word
"God our Father, Giver of life, we entrust the United States of America to Your loving care. You are the rock on which this nation was founded. You alone are the true source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Reclaim this land for Your glory and dwell among Your people. Send Your Spirit to touch the hearts of our nation's leaders. Open their minds to the great worth of human life and the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Remind Your people that true happiness is rooted in seeking and doing Your Holy Will.
Through the intercession of Mary Immaculate, Patroness of our land, grant us the courage to reject the "culture of death." Lead us into this new millenium of life. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen."

"Christian writers down through the centuries have sung the praises of the Cross of Christ...
Paul the Apostle exclaimed, "But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ". Galatians 6:14
Rupert of Deutz (1075–1129), a Benedictine theologian and abbot, wrote:
"The cross of Christ is the door to heaven, the key to paradise, the downfall of the devil, the uplifting of mankind, the consolation of our imprisonment, the prize for our freedom."
“The Cross of Christ is the safeguard of our faith, the assurance of our hope, and the throne of love. It is also the sign of God's mercy and the proof of forgiveness. By his cross Jesus Christ has pardoned us and set us free from the tyranny of sin. He paid the price for us when he made atonement for our sins. The way to peace, joy, and righteousness in the kingdom of God and the way to victory over sin and corruption, fear and defeat, despair and death is through the cross of Jesus Christ.
“Do you follow the Lord Jesus in His way of the cross with joy, hope, and confidence?"
#prayer and excerpt #meditation from today’s scripture reflection @ www.DailyScripture.Net or APP at Daily Scripture Servants of the Word
"We give glory to you, Lord, who raised up your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living.
“Come then, my brothers and sisters, let us offer our Lord the great and all-embracing sacrifice of our love, pouring out our treasury of hymns and prayers before Him who offered His cross in sacrifice to God for the enrichment of us all."
"The Cross of Christ gives life to the human race" From a sermon by Ephraem the Syriac deacon, c. 306-373

“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you." ~ John 15:19
“I gave them your Word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.” John 17:14
"Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." 1 John 2:12-17
MEDITATION
"What does Jesus mean when HE says "YOU ARE NOT OF THIS WORLD"?
“The world in scripture refers to that society of people who are hostile towards God and opposed to HIS will. The world rejected the Lord Jesus, and HIS disciples can expect the same treatment.
“The Lord Jesus leaves no middle ground for HIS followers. We are either for HIM or against HIM, for HIS kingdom of LIGHT or for the kingdom of darkness. The prophet Isaiah warned that people who separate themselves from God because of their rebellion and spiritual blindness would end up calling evil good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20).
“If we want to live in the LIGHT of God's TRUTH, how can we rightly distinguish good from evil?
“True LOVE of God and HIS ways draw us to all that is LOVELY, TRUTHFUL and GOOD. If we truly LOVE God then we will submit to HIS TRUTH and OBEY HIS WORD.
“A friend of God cannot expect to be a friend of the world because the world opposes God. Jesus' demand is unequivocal and without compromise.
“Do not LOVE the world or the things in the world. If any one LOVES the world, LOVE for the Father is not in HIM (1 John 2:15). We must make a choice either for or against God.
“Do you seek to please God in all your Thoughts, Actions, and Relationships?"
“Let the Holy Spirit fill your heart with the LOVE of God.” Romans 5:5
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, may the fire of Your LOVE fill my heart with an eagerness to please You in all things. May there be no rivals to my LOVE and devotion to You who are my all." ~ www.dailyscripture.net

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
"Glory to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
to God who is, who was, and who is to come." Cf. Rev 1:8
I love the prayer from Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity that begins:
“O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me to forget myself entirely that I may be established in You as still and as peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity. May nothing trouble my peace or make me leave You, O my Unchanging One, but may each minute carry me further into the depths of Your Mystery.

"Our Savior Jesus Christ has destroyed death and brought Life to Light through the GOSPEL." Cf. 2 Timothy 1:10
"God has called us through the GOSPEL, to possess the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." Cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:14
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He has anointed me to preach Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." ~ Luke 4:18-19
MEDITATION
"The word "GOSPEL" literally means "Good News". Isaiah had prophesied that the Messiah would come in the power of the Holy Spirit to bring Freedom to those oppressed by sin and evil (see Isaiah 61:1-2). Jesus came to set people Free from the worst tyranny possible – the tyranny of Slavery To Sin and the Fear Of Death, and the destruction of both Body and Soul. God's power alone can save us from emptiness and poverty of spirit, from confusion and error, and from the fear of death and hopelessness. The GOSPEL of salvation is "Good News" for us today.
“Do you know the Joy and Freedom of the GOSPEL?"
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, You are the fulfillment of all our Hopes and Desires. Your Spirit brings us Grace, Truth, Life, and Freedom. Fill me with the Joy of the GOSPEL and inflame my heart with Love and Zeal for You and for Your will."
#prayer and excerpt #meditation from today’s scripture reflection @ www.DailyScripture.Net or APP at Daily Scripture Servants of the Word
-------
GOSPEL ~ In Christianity, the GOOD NEWS (Old English: gospel) is the message of Jesus, the Christ or Messiah — God's ruler promised by the Scriptures — specifically, the coming Kingdom of God, his death on the cross and resurrection to restore people's relationship with God, the descent of the Holy Spirit on believers as the helper, the resulting promise and hope of being saved for any who believe and follow Jesus, and through this, a healing of the brokenness of the entire created universe.

“I have seen the Lord.” John 20:18
MEDITATION
“Do you recognize the Lord's presence when you hear HIS word? How easy it is to miss the Lord Jesus when our focus is on ourselves! Mary did not at first recognize the Lord because her focus was on the empty tomb and on her own grief. It took only one word from the Master, when HE called her by name, for Mary to recognize HIM...
“Mary's message to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord,’ is the very essence of Christianity. It is not enough that a Christian know about the Lord, but that we know HIM personally…
“The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the foundation of our HOPE - the HOPE that we, too, who believe in HIM will see the living God face to face and share in HIS everlasting Glory and Joy…
“Do you recognize the Lord's presence with you, in HIS Word, in the "breaking of the bread," and in HIS church, the body of Christ?”
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, may I never fail to recognize YOUR voice nor lose sight of YOUR presence as YOU open the Scriptures for me and speak YOUR Life-giving Word."

Was Mary Magdalene a prostitute? Was she the women caught in adultery? Was she the sister to Martha and Lazarus? Will we ever really know???
What we do know is she was “cured of seven demons...” Luke 8:2
www.gotquestions.org/Mary-Magdalene.html
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My testimony...
I, too, have seen the Lord... HE has touched my heart and pulled me out of my darkness and into HIS wonderful Light of LOVE and Forgiveness, Mercy and Grace.
At 21, my journey began slowly in college Art History classes. The stunning array of Mother Mary images, particularly the Annunciation, stirred my soul, lifting me from the shadows of my lifestyle. She gently guided me toward her son, Jesus. One day, in a haze of mushrooms, I caught my reflection in a mirror and realized I wanted more from life—a better path, a higher purpose.
I began with years of therapy, the crying and shaking was tremendous. I had had an abortion when I was 17, but that never came up. The trauma from my childhood was overwhelming and overshadowed anything that may have been effecting me currently. Then I graduated to group therapy and al-Anon meetings (being a child of alcoholic parents). The serenity prayer was my favorite. “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference…”
But for some reason in the middle of getting better I jumped back into the darkness, looking for love lead me to 2 more abortions. My conscious was awakened, but not sure what to do with it. I headed back to one on one therapy, but again abortion never came up.
Even a few years ago when I was seeking help with a “Catholic therapist” I brought up abortion and that it might be a part of my problem with continuing depression and he discounted it....
I credit Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene for helping me get set on a path for healing and mercy. And what A Great Saint! She is known as the “apostle to the apostles”. She was at the foot of the cross as HE died and suffered for our sins and at HIS tomb when HE was risen!
Because of my persistence in healing and growing and trying to come out of the darkness God and HIS angels and saints led me to a fallen away Catholic man who was also seeking and growing. We had many profound discussions about faith and healing and we started going to mass together. I wasn’t brought up Catholic nor was I anti-Catholic but when he spoke about the Catholic faith it all rang true for me and I wanted more.
I entered into the RCIA classes and was baptized and confirmed at age 28, on March 25th, 1989. (March 25th just happens to be the feast of the Annunciation and my favorite images in art college of the angel Gabriel and Mother Mary and also the Feast Day for St Dismas, and I am now the director of St Dismas Guild - prison ministry.)
God weaves a tapestry and works in the most mysterious ways. We may not see it for many years until we look back on all the healing and changes that have taken place, but it’s a beautiful thing and I can truly say “I have seen the Lord!” John 20:18
Mary Magdalene's Feast day is on my birthday and one of many reasons I have an affinity for her.

Gospel Reading: Luke 9:11-17
11 When the crowds learned it, they followed Him; and He welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God, and HEALED those who needed to be cured. 12 Now the day began to wear away; and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about, to lodge and get provisions; for we are here in a lonely place." 13 But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish -- unless we are to go and buy food for all these people." 14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each." 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
LECTIO DIVINA REFLECTION…
WHAT IS THE LORD PERSONALLY SAYING TO ME?
Sharon, your Healing has come from this blessing of the Eucharist. You continue to eat and are satisfied. Remember to share the fragments with others in your world. Do not be afraid to share this Good News with them.
WHAT DOES THE LORD PERSONALLY WANT ME TO DO?
Continue to grow and stay strong in the Faith so that I can share this Healing with others, all for the Glory of God.
MY PRAYER…
Lord, Your Healing is a blessing to me. Continue to satisfy me in Your Sacraments. Help me to be strong in my Faith so that I can share it with others and bring Glory to You...
Blessings,
Sharon
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, through YOUR merciful Love and Forgiveness YOU bring HEALING and Restoration to Body, Mind, and Soul. May YOUR Healing Power and Love touch every area of my life - my innermost thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and memories. Pardon my offences and transform me in the Power of YOUR Holy Spirit that I may walk confidently in YOUR Truth and Goodness."

"But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, `O God, be merciful to me a sinner!'

Pharisees’ Blasphemy...
24“When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25“And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order. 26“Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.” 28But He said, “On the contrary, BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AND OBSERVE IT.” ~ Luke 11:24-28
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, my heart is restless until it rests in YOU. Help me to live in YOUR presence and in the knowledge of YOUR great Love for me. May I seek to please YOU in all that I do, say, and think."

R. In my distress I called upon the Lord, and He heard my voice...
"I LOVE You, O Lord, my strength, …my rock, my fortress, my deliverer.

PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, may I never lose sight of the signs of Your presence in my life and the signs of Your action in the world today. Free me from spiritual dullness, indifference, and every distraction that would keep me from You. May I never tire of listening to Your word, seeking You in prayer, and longing for Your return in glory."

Do you know the first commandment that comes with a promise?
Ephesians 6:1-3 - “Honor your father and mother...”
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy Long Life on the earth.”
www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+6%3A1-3&am...
Daily Quote from the early church fathers:
"God is pleased to dwell in us," by Augustine of Hippo, 430-543 A.D.
"God is not too grand to come, He is not too fussy or shy, He is not too proud - on the contrary He is pleased to come if you do not displease Him. Listen to the promise He makes. Listen to Him indeed promising with pleasure, not threatening in displeasure, "We shall come to him," He says, "I and the Father." To the one he had earlier called His friend, the one who obeys His precepts, the keeper of His commandment, the lover of God, the lover of his neighbor, He says, "We shall come to him and make our abode with him." (excerpt from Sermon 23,6)

"The Lord is every ready to bring us healing of mind, body, and soul. HIS grace brings us freedom from the power of sin and from bondage to harmful desires and addictions. Do you allow anything to keep you from Jesus' healing power?"
"Lord Jesus, through your merciful Love and Forgiveness you bring HEALING and Restoration to body, mind, and soul.

Pardon my offenses and transform me in the power of your Holy Spirit that I may walk confidently in your Truth and Goodness." ~ www.dailyscripture.net

"Fear him who can destroy soul and body in hell" ~ from Matthew 10:24-33
“... whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.” Matthew 10:33
MEDITATION
"What does fear have to do with the kingdom of God? Fear is a powerful force. It can lead us to panic and flight or it can spur us to FAITH and action. The fear of God is the antidote to the fear of losing one's life.
“What is godly fear? It is Reverence for the One who made us in LOVE and who sustains us in Mercy and Kindness. The greatest injury or loss which we can experience is not physical but Spiritual - the loss of one's soul to the power of hell (Matthew 10:28). A healthy fear (godly respect) and Reverence for God leads to Spiritual Maturity, Wisdom, and Right Judgment and it frees us from the tyranny of sinful pride, cowardice - especially in the face of evil, and spiritual deception.
“Do you TRUST in God's Grace and Mercy and do you Obey HIS word?"
PRAYER
"Lord Jesus, it is my Joy and Privilege to be YOUR disciple. Give me Strength and Courage to bear any hardship and suffering which may come my way in serving YOU and Obeying YOUR Will. May I witness to others the Joy of the Gospel - the good news of YOUR kingdom of Peace, Joy, and Righteousness."

Psalm 128
R. Blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in HIS ways.
Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in HIS ways!
For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork;
blessed shall you be, and favored. R.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The meaning itself of fearing God is different from being afraid. It is a component of faith: It is born from knowledge of who God is."
"The believer's fear is Reverence of God. ... This Reverence and Awe is exactly what the fear of God means for Christians. This is the motivating factor for us to surrender to the Creator of the Universe."
Proverbs 1:7 declares, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MEDITATION
"What does fear have to do with the kingdom of God? Fear is a powerful force. It can lead us to flight or panic or it can spur us to Faith and action. The fear of God is the antidote to the fear of losing one's life. I sought the Lord, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

"LIGHT shines on the Righteous and Joy on the upright in heart." Psalm 97:11
“Light dawns for the just;
and gladness, for the upright of heart.
Be glad in the Lord, you just,
and give thanks to HIS holy name.” Psalm 97:11
———-
"Called to shine in the midst of darkness," by Tertullian, 160-225 A.D.
"Why does the Lord call us the LIGHT of the world? Why has He compared us to a city on a hill (Matthew 5:14)? Are we not called to shine in the midst of darkness, and stand up high for those most sunk down? If you hide your lamp beneath a bushel (Matthew 5:15; Luke 11:33), you will soon notice that you yourself will be in the dark. You will find others bumping into you. So what can you do to illumine the world?
"Let your faith produce good works. Be a reflection of God's LIGHT. The good is not preoccupied with darkness. It rejoices in being seen (John 3:21). It exults over the very pointing's which are made at it.
“Christian modesty not only wishes to be modest, but also it wishes to be beheld as what it actually is." (excerpt from ON THE APPAREL OF WOMEN 2.13)
