DIVINE WHISPER with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

FRIDAY OF THE SECOND WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME YEAR II

Celebration for the day: Ferial

Mystery of the day: Sorrowful 

Table of the Word:  1 Samuel 24:2-20; Psalm 57:2.3-4.6 and 11 (R. 2a); Mark 3:13-19.

The WORD: 
"God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation."  (2 Corinthians 5:19)

Theme: He reconciles humanity with Divinity.

Inspiration: 

    The unfathomable mercy and love of God is beyond measure, taking a look at the creation account where of all creatures in creation God gave man the mandate to take charge of all and name them one by one. 

      His love remains unconditional such that even in our inadequacies we are still favoured through the reconciliation by His Son passion, death and resurrection.

     From today's table of the Word, St. Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians Church says:

"God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation."  (2 Corinthians 5:19).

This implies that, we have been redeemed through the blood of the lamb and then reconciled us back to God. 

       In our weaknesses we find strength in Him, in our pains joy, when engulfed with infirmities healing and in distress we get solace. 

      Finally, let us be mindful of this great love of His and then reciprocate this kind gesture with a renewed life of living out the gospel values. 

 Peace! Be with you!

Let us pray

Almighty and merciful God, we thank You for the wonders of creation. Grant we pray the grace to live out the gospel values so as to behold You as You really are on the last day. Through our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever and evermore. Amen.
