40 DAYS JOURNEY WITH THE LORD.
DAY 9.
Friday of the 1st Week of Lent, March 3 2023.
Moderated by Fr Justin Nzekwe.
DAILY CHALLENGE: Go to your place of worship and pray. Make an intercession.
DAILY THEME: BE RECONCILED WITH ONE ANOTHER.
THINK ABOUT THIS: That deep-seated renewal that Jesus calls for is not something we can bring about on our own. We need the Holy Spirit to work that kind of deep transformation within ourselves. A prayer that has been traditional within the church acknowledges that very clearly: ‘Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart, and kindle in me the fire of your love’. It is a prayer I have always found myself drawn to. It calls on the Holy Spirit to recreate deep within us the love which shaped the person of Jesus; it calls on the Spirit to form in us the roots of that deeper virtue which Jesus speaks about in today’s gospel reading.
Bible Reading – Matthew 5:20–26
Jesus said to his disciples:
“I tell you, unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.
“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa, will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”
PRAY WITH ME
Lord, for many times, I have wandered away from you. I have failed severally to read your Word and make it part of me. Now that I have rediscovered myself, help me to rediscover you. May I know you more and the power that raised Christ from the dead. Restore my immunity as a child of God, and let your power and miracle manifest in my life. Let your Holy Spirit accompany me to make this journey faithfully to the end, so that it may bear fruit in my life. Amen.https://www.catholicforlife.com/40-days-journey-with-the-lord-day-9-2
