DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

                FIFTH DAY WITH MARY

                Mystery of the day: Sorrowful 

                Theme: Do not be troubled.

"Jesus said to his disciples, "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:1)

Indeed, our sufficiency comes from the Lord. In moment of darkest night the love of God dispels every darkness engulfing us, in sickness he restores, in doubt, faith is being bestowed, when despair sets in God gives hope and comfort amidst anxiety. 

However, from the Table of the Word today, Evangelist John presented before us the consoling Words of our Lord to bring succor to our weary minds:

"Jesus said to his disciples, "Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me." (John 14:1)

These beautiful Words of our Lord serves as a healing balm to our troubled minds. As the dawn breaks, let the confusion or trouble of our minds not put us away from the love of God. Let the many challenges of this day not infused in us fear and doubt for the Lord Himself has spoken and His Words is sure.

Beloved in Christ, go about your normal duty with trust in Him. "Fear not for I am with you always" are His words. No matter how darkest our night may be, dawn will certainly break with light, for He is our light and salvation. Our path may be twisted let our heart not be troubled for He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

MARY, Mother of Mercy - Pray for us

Peace, be with you!

Let us pray

O God, author of our freedom and of our salvation, listen to the voice of our pleading, and grant that those you have redeemed by the shedding of your Son’s Blood, may have life through you and, under your protection, rejoice for ever unharmed. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
