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?
