18th Day with Blessed Virgin Mary
Mystery of the day: Sorrowful
"This God of ours is a God who saves." (Psalm 68:20-21)
There is no greater love than that which spells hope when situation gets out of hands. That which provides comfort in distress, lighten the darkest path, and giving out leaning shoulder when there is no support. And that love is God, whose essence is love beyond telling.
From our tabloid today, the psalmist proclaimed saying:
"This God of ours is a God who saves. The LORD our Lord provides an escape from death." (Psalm 68:20-21)
Yes! Only GOD can do this. His love has no cost, no condition attached to it, for the blood of His Son has served as the signature of salvation having paid the debt of our sins in full.
From Evangelist John in today's gospel pericope, he presented before us Christ's bidding prayer on our behalf.
"Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him." (John 17:1ff.)
This bidding prayer of our Lord puts our cares and worries before God. As such, there is no absolute reason to be worried or troubled. For His love endures forever.
Peace! Be with you.
Let us pray
Grant, we pray, almighty and merciful God, that the Holy Spirit, coming near and dwelling graciously within us, may make of us a perfect temple of his glory. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
