Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
WEEK TWENTY TWO: LIFE IN THE RESURRECTION - DAY 2
MORNING FACE TO FACE WITH GOD:
Begin with Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Prayer on 2 Corinthians 13: 13: Paul's Greeting: "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship (communion) of the holy Spirit be with all of you."
Read the Reflection: ask for the grace to be glad and rejoice intensely because of the great joy and the glory of Christ our Lord (#221)
1. 'The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ' is the unmerited gift to us of sharing in God's divine life, made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus has bridged the chasm between God and us, caused by our sin. And now we share in His relationship with the Father and Holy Spirit. With Him, in Him, and through Him, we now can address His Father as Our Father!
2. 'The love of God' the Father has made possible this indescribable gift of participation in the divine nature through Jesus: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life" (John 3: 16).
3. 'The fellowship (communion) of the Holy Spirit': To bring about this covenant union of God with His human covenant family, the fellowship or communion of the Holy Spirit has been offered to us. Through the Holy Spirit, the Trinity invites us into God's life and relationships, to share in their Trinitarian fellowship." from Mold me as Your Disciple.
Being under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit makes you a student of God. As His creation we seek the perfect place for us and our families, St Paul is giving us the perfect place while on earth, being with and in the presence of the Triune God. It is like he is emulating Jesus when Jesus says "Peace be with you." We are built to seek Heaven, it isn't here on earth, this is the valley of tears with its trials and tribulations but being with God on earth is the closest to Heaven. Jesus found this place in the midst of His life, Paul and the Apostles found it and we are each offered the same opportunity. Be under the tutelage of the Holy Spirit and listen! He speaks, I listen.
What is God saying to you? Peace be with You, nothing is hidden from you, it is available to all, all of it. I hold nothing back.
Dear Father, You speak and I listen even in my short comings, I listen. Thank You God for this day and all it has to offer, let's go together and be confident in the truth of Your Word. Prayers for a friend recovering from an operation, return him to full health and full physical ability. May Your Peace reside in our hearts today, I ask this in the One who died for our sins, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Patron of the Dying, Pray for us.
