Words of Jesus
"Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
Matthew 7: 1 – 5
The beginning of sanctity lies in my total abandonment to the Lord’s will, even in little things.
— Bl. John XXIII
Abba, Father, Lord God, grateful but humbled by my selfish and prideful nature, unable to empty myself of all that I have become under the sun, I see and hear a man unable, yet worse I feel a man convicted by the spirit being he wishes to become, held back by the human being that he has become. O how vain I must be to think that I would have anything , but the Words of Jesus to offer anyone; when I have so far to go, how can I pronounce any thought, opinion or judgment on anyone? So I ask: Is Jesus truly capable of breaking the chains that bind me? Can Jesus have mercy on me? Can Jesus rescue me from myself? What do I have to do to learn how to put Jesus’ teaches into action? To be His image under the sun; my heart likened to His, my words, actions and image a light on a hill. Surrounded by my mistakes, covered by the man I have become, not the man I want to be. A man after Your heart! O that You would find me worthy of continued mercy and grace, that You would bless me indeed, that Your hand would help separate me from what I have become, from what I am in Jesus. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
The Shack Mackenzie Allen Philips’ youngest daughter, Missy, has been abducted during a family vacation and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later in the midst of his Great Sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack for a weekend. Against his better judgment he arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon and walks back into his darkest nightmare. What he finds there will change Mack’s world forever. In a world where religion seems to grow increasingly irrelevant "The Shack" wrestles with the timeless question, "Where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?" The answers Mack gets will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as it did him. You’ll want everyone you know to read this book!
