Reflection
The same theme as yesterday in the Gospel. A little good, goes a long way.
Why not ponder on the little ways you may be able to bring some joy to people in your life?
Today’s Prayer
Preparation: Begin by stilling; then dedicating the time of prayer to God and asking God that all you think, feel and imagine are for the glory of God.
Gift: Ask for what you desire. Suggestion: To know Jesus more clearly, love him more dearly, and follow him more nearly.
Setting: A Scripture reading to ponder – Lectio Divina.
Scripture
Matthew 13:33 WEB
Jesus spoke another parable to them.
“The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
Conversation: Talk to Jesus in your own words as a friend
Final Prayer: End with a formal prayer such as the Lord’s Prayer/Our Father.
Today’s Music
Ubi Caritas: written by Ola Gjeilo performed by Voces8
Lyrics & translation
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
TRANSLATION
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ’s love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.
