Daily Thoughts - Make God Known.
"To keep the law is to make many offerings; whoever observes the commandments sacrifices a peace offering. By works of charity one offers fine flour, and one who gives alms presents a sacrifice of praise. To refrain from evil pleases the Lord, and to avoid injustice is atonement. Do not appear before the Lord empty-handed, for all that you offer is in fulfillment of the precepts." Ben Sira 35:1-7
God is ever before us, there is nothing goes unseen by Him. Do you recognize what you bring to the altar? Each day is a new opportunity to be a pleasing offering to God the Father. Jesus died for our sin, He asks us not to live in sin. Contemplate what your actions, your words, your sacrifices are saying to God. Have a blessed day and be "a sweet odor before the Most High." Ben Sira 35:8b
Dear Father, thank You for the gift of this day, may my offering of it back to You be pleasing. Help us overcome the challenges of the day, help us hold back when we are asked, help us take on the calmness that Your Son Jesus has when He entered the day. His offering was perfect in all that He did and shared. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Most Ardent, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
