20th Day with Blessed Virgin Mary
Mystery of the day: Glorious
"May they all be one;..." (John 17:21)
Dearest friend in Christ, a beautiful morning to you.
On this 20th day with our Lady, a woman whose attribute is beyond compare, and her readiness to intercede goes unlimited. The Church continue in her saving mission to nourish us with the Word.
In our today's world, we are engulfed with hatred, envy and betrayal. Thus, making us to question our existence, on why envy and hatred should order our relationship with others.
Today from the table of the Word, Evangelist John reminded us the very Word of exhortation by our Lord on "peaceful co-existence" saying:
"May they all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, so that the world may believe that you have sent me, says the Lord." (John 17:21)
This brings to our minds a call to unity, which is at the centre of our today's reflection.
How often do we betray, castigate, envy, hate, using others to climb to the apex? Just because there is difference in age, sex, race, understanding, and culture. Why do we think we are better than others? Wether weak or strong, we have our own path to play. The intelligent needs half-thinking mind to instruct, for its own, intelligence is surplus to his need.
This admonition puts us aright to put behind us this vices "hatred and envy" and embrace the virtue of "love" which is the central attribute of our God.
Finally, brethren let us close this gap of indifferences and embrace love and peace. Then in doing this, we will be counted among those the tongue of fire (Holy Spirit) will be rested upon.
Peace! Be with you.
Let us pray
May your Spirit, O Lord, we pray, imbue us powerfully with spiritual gifts, that he may give us a mind pleasing to you, and graciously conform us to your will. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
