DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

SATURDAY OF THE 26th WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME OF THE YEAR (II)

Mystery of the day:  Joyful

Celebration: St Theresa of the Child Jesus, Virgin and Doctor of the Church or Our Lady, Queen of Nigeria

(1873-1897). Born in France. While very young, she entered the monastery of the Carmelites of Lisieux. She was outstanding for her humility, simplicity, and confidence in God. She offered her life for the salvation of souls and for the Church.

Table of the Word:   Job 42:1-3.5-6.12-17;  Luke 10:17-24

Theme: The possibilities of our God.

"I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted." (Job 42:1)

Most often man finds himself at the cross road of life, with multiple choices. He is left with nothing to hold on, as many questions beg for answer in his mind. The famous question "Quo vadis?" - (where are you going?). 

Amidst this challenge engulfing us, let is take our minds back to Job's situation which the first reading throughout this week recounted. At the beginning, we saw Job causing the day he was born, opted for stillbirth (cf.  Job 3:1-3.11-17.20-23) 

I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall hurt you

Reflection for the day:Peace, be with you!

Let us pray.

 Amen.
