4th September 2019 Wednesday 22nd Week of Ordinary Time

Reflection
Colossians 1:1-8, Luke 4:38-44

“Time to pray”
Even though Jesus was constantly with the people and busied Himself with helping each person that came His way, He made time for prayer because He needed to be alone with God.

3rd September 2019 Tuesday 22nd Week of Ordinary Time - St. Gregory the Great

Reflection
1 Thessalonians 5:1-6,9-11, Luke 4:31-37

“With renewed freshness”
Like the man in today’s Gospel, we too have our own demons that we struggle with every day. These demons of pride, jealousy, anger, lust, laziness as well as our deep wounds from past incidents are alive and actively influencing us in the way we live and love. Do we resist Jesus’ help in our struggle with our demons?

Today, let us draw close to Jesus and accept joyfully His authority as He leads us to live life with true freedom. May we stay with Jesus today!

Question for reflection:
1) What is Jesus’ invitation to me as I listen attentively to His Word today?
