THE GRACE I SEEK: The grace of slowly surrendering myself to the loving mercy of God and responding to the invitation to love.
READ: Luke 12:32-34 "Your heart will always be where your treasure is."
My little group of disciples, don't be afraid! Your Father wants to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give the money to the poor. Make yourselves moneybags that never wear out. Make sure your treasure is safe in heaven, where thieves cannot steal it and moths cannot destroy it. Your heart will always be where your treasure is.
REFLECTION: The Invitation of Love — Please Be with Me
We will ponder the power of the invitation of love from someone we love. What impact would it have on me?
We will compare this invitation to the one we receive from our Lord and God.
Over the past several weeks, it has been the delight I’ve longed for — to show you how much I love you. How I have wanted you to know how much I have desired to free your heart. And now that you have asked me what you can do — what return you could make for such love — I feel eager to invite you to be with me.
Please be with me in my mission. “Because God has chosen me to tell the good news to the poor, to announce freedom for prisoners, to give sight to the blind, to free everyone who suffers.”
And I need you. I need your support and your free heart. It won’t always be easy. But we will be together every time you are with me in loving. If you are with me in the struggle of love, we will grow together in love in ways I can ask you only to imagine. If you are with me in the dying to self-love that is our mission, then you will be with me in the fullness of life, forever. God’s reign is at hand. Together we can bring it closer. Please be with me.
Just consider this invitation. Feel it. It isn’t imaginary. It is very real. How special we are to receive such an invitation of love!
