“STRETCH OUT YOUR HAND.”LK 6:6-11
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Prayer Prompt before reading LK 6:6-11: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father and God the Son are so that I may know who I am.
Today, Jesus continues to heal. What part of your life do you need healed? We usually go to confession for the same sins and it becomes discouraging. We all have crosses to carry, but many of us have the same ones.
There are only 10 commandments, don’t let yourself think you are struggling with a sin that someone else isn’t struggling with, too. You are not suffering alone, trust me. Jesus cries with you, suffers with you, prays with you. You are never alone.
Today, Jesus also teaches us that we do not have to follow the law if it is against the will of God. “I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” Abortion is the biggest holocaust in our country’s history. Continue to pray for the unborn and all mother’s and father’s expecting.
Pray for all of those who have had an abortion. Then, think about ways we destroy lives outside of the womb physically or spiritually. It may be overindulging in food, drink, or lust. It may be through gossip, back stabbing, rumor spreading, or cyberbullying.
We may destroy by not including others or neglecting family members in our own home. Sometimes we spend more time with our electronics than we spend with our family. Every day Jesus is asking us to “Stretch out your hand.” He wants our salvation more than we want it.
Let us not destroy the greatest opportunity for our life and soul, a life with Jesus Christ. One way we could decide to come to Jesus, is like the man with a withered hand and we will not only have our hand restored but our whole life. We can conquer sin and death in our life little by little by allowing Jesus to heal us. We can go to confession and daily Mass as often as necessary.
Today’s challenge: Tear down the walls of a hard heart. Allow yourself to be healed. Don’t become discouraged by falling to the same sins. Pope Francis says, “Jesus never tires of forgiving, it is us who tire of asking for forgiveness.” Reach out your hand to Jesus and be healed.
Be a servant, be a saint today!
