Under the Divine Light
“For the Souls in Purgatory – Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord”
Psalm 139:23-24
Probe me, God, know my heart; try me, know my thoughts. See if my way is crooked; then lead me in the ancient way.
Grace Prayed For
I pray for the grace of Self-Knowledge—that I may see myself as God sees me, with both truth and infinite tenderness.
Reflection
It can be frightening to ask God to “probe” our hearts. We are often afraid of what we might find. However, the “ancient way” the Psalmist speaks of is the path of life. Intimacy with Jesus requires honesty. We cannot grow closer to Him if we are pretending to be someone we aren’t. Spend today in quiet reflection, inviting the Holy Spirit to shine a light on the “crooked” places—not to condemn you, but to take you by the hand and lead you back to the right path.

Sharing
Jesus last words on Earth were to his disciples, can be found in Matthew Chap 28 when Jesus told his disciples, “Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.”
Jesus calls all of us to share in his redemptive mission here on Earth. I would ask you to share this Scripture reflection with your family, your friends and your acquaintances, and then share it with a couple of individuals that you may may not be comfortable sharing with, keeping in mind always the words of Jesus, And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age
