DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

Tuesday OF THE 30TH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME OF THE YEAR (B)
Mystery of the day: Joyful

"... I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18)

Beloved in Christ Jesus, Peace and blessings of God be upon you and your household. Amen. 

In my personal reflection, I consider solitude to be the "midwife" of the Holy Spirit, for in it (solitude) we see the finger of God in every situation. The Holy Spirit on the other way round who is a teacher, instructs,  counsels, and comforts us. 

However, our dear brother and apostle of the Gentles, St. Paul in addressing the Church in Rome reminded us this day in these words:

"... I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." (Romans 8:18)

Indeed, we must have passed through different "ups" and "downs" of life, but God can never fail us. As Christ promised to go ahead of us to prepare a better place for us, we have to endure and persevere while anticipating our glorious return to the maker.

Consequently, let our daily struggles be burnt as a sweet smelling offering to the Lord, so that it may yield bountiful fruits and be sown for eternal harvest. 

Finally, be patient in the Lord, offer all your daily cares and worries to Him with joy. He will bless us and glorify our humble efforts. 

Peace! Be with you.

Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you

Let us pray

Eternal God, we thank You for the gift of life, and all that we are blessed with. In Your loving care sustain us and grant us the grace we beseech Thee, to be ever conscious of Your abiding presence. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
