Lord will Gather Us in the House
of Prayer
Lord invites us to care for
justice and integrity to be considered in life. Let everyone keep the
sabbath holy, and let no foreigners feel that he does not belong to the Lord.
May all keep the sabbath and be acceptable to God. There may be unity and
peace among all people of God. Lord comes to unite people and bring about peace
and life.
The Lord will make his people
joyful in his house of prayer. His house shall be a house of prayer for all
people. He will accept their sacrifices.
The purpose and wish of the Lord is to gather all people and even the
outcasts of Isreal to his house prayer. The Lord gathers his people into his house
of worship.
Do you consider gathering people
in the Lord's name to be grace?
Gospel: Jn 5:33-36
Meditation
“You have sent to John and he has testified to
the truth. Not that I accept human
testimony; but I mention it so that you may be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light,
and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. (Jn 5:33-35)
John was like a lamp burning and
giving light. He burned his body and mind with austere life. As a result, he
was shining with the grace of God. He attracted people who were in sin and not
in grace. Through the baptism of John, they received forgiveness of sins and
the grace of God. Jesus Himself received baptism, and the Spirit of the Lord
came upon Him. We need to choose life
and light to enjoy the graces of God. We need to go to the sacrament of penance
whenever we need to sanctify ourselves and be in a state of grace.
Do I seek the light and grace of
God in my life?
