LENTEN DIGEST with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

             

TUESDAY OF THE FOURTH WEEK OF LENT

Mystery of the day: Sorrowful

Theme: Come to me...

"All who are thirsty, come to the waters, says the Lord. Though you have no money, come and drink with joy." ( Cf. Is 55:1)

Beloved in Christ, a beautiful morning to you and your household. We are at it again, "God's unfathomable mercy" upon humanity. We are grateful to Him for His love and enduring provision. 

Today, on our tabloid Prophet Isaiah prophesied:

"All who are thirsty, come to the waters, says the Lord. Though you have no money, come and drink with joy." ( Cf. Is 55:1)

Dearest friend, are you thirsty?   And thirsty of what? Healing? Good fortune? Fertility of the womb? Employment? Open door in business? etc.

Then the time is now, as God is inviting us to come and have a drink of fertility, open heavens, success etc. even without cost and connection. While others boast in connections, our boast is in the Lord who made Heaven and Earth and all that is in it. 

The invitation is going round,  grab yours and drink it to the full. He gives without charge and connection. Make haste to draw water from this source of life, never allow anything to hamper your effort in drinking from this fountain of life. Remember, no condition is attached to it. 

Finally, be reminded that no one drinks from this source and go back thirsty. 

Peace be with you!

Let us pray 

May the venerable exercises of holy devotion shape the hearts of your faithful, O Lord, to welcome worthily the paschal mystery and proclaim the praises of your salvation.

 Through Christ our Lord. Amen
