MY INHERITANCE

 The promise of inheriting the world was not made to Abraham
 and his descendants on account of any law but on account of the
 righteousness which consist in faith.

That is why what fulfils the promise depends on faith,
so that it may be a free gift and be available to all of
Abraham's descendants, not only those who belong to
the Law but also those who belong to the faith of Abraham
who is the father of all of us.  As scripture says:
I have made you the ancestor of many nations:

Abraham is our father in the eyes of God,
in whom he put his faith, and who brings the dead
to life and calls into being what does not exist...........

Readings

Loving Father I want to say thank you for your promise of inheritance.  Thank you for Jesus Christ Your Son my Lord and Saviour.
My prayer Psalm 12

GOD'S LABOURERS

Feast of St. Luke

The Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them out ahead of him,

in pairs, to all the towns and places he himself was to visit.  He said to them, 'The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest

to send labourers to his harvest.

Start off now, but remember, I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

Carry no purse, no haversack, no sandals.  Salute no one on the road. Whatever house you go into, let your first words be, "peace to this house!" And if a man of peace lives there, your peace will go and rest on him; if not, it will come back to you.

Stay in the same house, taking what food and drink they have to offer, for

the labourers deserve his wages; do not move from house to house. Whenever you go into a town where they make you welcome, eat what is set before you.

Cure those who are sick, and say, "The kingdom of God is very near to you".

My prayer of  Psalm 27

Heavenly Father, make me an instrument for your glory. 

Lord Jesus Christ, you warned about

us about the danger, that there will be wolves.

May God's Holy Spirit guide and direct us.

REDEEMED BY CHRIST JESUS

With the LORD there is mercy

God's justice that was made known through the Law and the Prophets has now been revealed outside the Law, since it is the same justice of God that comes through faith to everyone, Jew and pagan alike, who believes in Jesus Christ. 

Both Jew and pagan  sinned and forfeited God's glory, and both are justified through the free gift of his grace by being redeemed in Christ Jesus who appointed by God to sacrifice his life so as to win reconciliation through faith.

Readings

My Prayer:  Heavenly Father thank you for Your justice made known through the Law and Prophets now revealed outside the Law through faith to everyone who believes in Jesus Christ.  Thank you Father for the free gift of by my redemption through Jesus Christ appointed by You Father to win my reconciliation through faith. Thank you God my Father.

Psalm 129(130):1-6 ©

With the Lord there is mercy, and fullness of redemption.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,

  Lord, hear my voice!

O let your ears be attentive

  to the voice of my pleading.

GOD HAS NO FAVOURITES

No matter who you are, if you pass judgement you have no excuse.
In judging others you condemn yourself, since you behave differently

Hail Thou Star of Ocean

from those you judge.

We know that God condemns that sort of behaviour impartially: and when
when you judge those who behave like this while you are doing  exactly the
same, do you think you will escape God's judgement? Or are you abusing
his abundant goodness, patience and toleration, not realising that this
goodness of God is meant to lead you to repentance?

Your stubborn refusal to repent is only adding to the anger God will have
towards you on that day of anger when his just judgements will be made
known. He will repay each one as his works deserve.... Readings

My Prayer: Father in heaven help me not to judge people for what
                   I think they are.  Give the Spirit to understand that I should
                   be compassionate.  Help me realise that I too need your mercy,
                   and appreciate Your goodness to me.

THAT I MAY LIVE

I am not ashamed of the Gospel.  
It is the power of God for the salvation 
of everyone who believes:
for the Jews first, and then the Greek.
For in it is revealed the righteousness of God from faith to faith:
as it is written, "The one who is righteous by faith will live."
Readings

My Prayer: Heavenly Father help me understand your word.
                    It is the secret and Your power for my salvation.
                     Increase my faith that I may live. Psalm 62

GRATITUDE

We should be be grateful to the Lord our God, for putting us to the test,
as he did with our forefathers.  Recall how he dealt with Abraham, and
how he tried Issac, and all that happened to Jacob.

Not for vengeance did the LORD put them in the crucible to try their hearts,
nor has he done so with us.

It is by way of admonition that he chastises those who are close to him.
from The  Prayer of the Church: Pauline Publication Week IV

My Prayer:  Loving Father help me to appreciate Your love
                    for me and give me the patient to understand that You
chastise me to bring me closer to You. It is the only way to bring me closer to You.
Thank You Heavenly Father for Your love, and faithfulness.
