Week 39 - The Journey
"For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that unique declaration came to him from the majestic glory, "This is my Son, my beloved, with whom I am well pleased." We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven while we were with him on the holy mountain." 2 Peter 1:17-18
Divine nature. There is a difference in Peter the Saint vs Peter the Disciple. As I contemplate this place where Peter is in these verses He is living within the power of God. He has long forgotten the denial of the Living God. The mystery is well ingrained within him.
We ourselves can learn as Peter did to be steeped in the mystery of God. I wonder the thoughts Peter had, the memories that came back as he relived his days with Jesus. Our own lives are Divine appointments, orchestrated by God to bring us to the place that we call home. The journey is real and it has purpose.
You have touched the Divine mystery or should I say He has touched you, in our baptism. The journey begins with the Living God. God speaks in our own memories, some we don't want to relive others shows us the Mystery that transforms us. Just be, "not by might, not by power but by My Spirit says the Lord." Zechariah 4:6
What is God saying to me? Keep going.
Dear Father, I see this place where Peter is and I see where he came from. The journey is not an easy one but one that we all must travel. I thank You for the gift of life, for the opportunity to sit in Your presence and see the journey from a distance knowing that it has a destination that is pleasing to you at least that is my hope. Thank You for the gift of this week and blessings of a lifetime of lessons. Watch over all who are traveling, prepare each of us for our final destination. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen Mother, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Foster Father of Jesus, Pray for us.
