LENTEN DIGEST with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

 
MONDAY OF THE THIRD WEEK OF LENT

Mystery of the day: Joyful

Lenten Observancs: Meditatively praying the mystery of the day and create a moment to be with the Lord privately. 

Theme: I wait for the Lord...

"I wait for the Lord, and in his word I hope; with him is mercy and plenteous redemption."   (cf. Psalm 130:5.7)

Beloved in Christ, good morning to you. Indeed, God's faithfulness upon us is beyond measure. The gift of this great day is yet another testimony itself. While some of our brethren out there have lost the fun of the day through infirmities of one kind or the other, and not talking about others who are already cold-dead in the morgue. Then what can we say? Than to be grateful to Him for His faithfulness and love. 

Today, the psalmist reminded us of the secret behind this great survival, as that which does not borne out of our righteousness but through God's unfathomable mercy and love saying: 

"I wait for the Lord, and in his word I hope; with him is mercy and plenteous redemption."   (cf. Psalm 130:5.7)

Dearest soul, outside God nothing exist. For in Him is the fullness of our salvation. Wait upon Him at dawn, noon and dusk, then you will be surprised of His unconditional faithfulness. As we keep on voyaging together in faith, let us be conscious of our frailty, then learn from the fig tree. Be on guard, the Scripture tells us, less we allow the devil to lead us into temptation.
Peace be with you!

Let us pray
May your unfailing compassion, O Lord, cleanse and protect your Church, and since without you she cannot stand secure, may she be always governed by your grace. 
 Through Christ our Lord. Amen
