The Words of Jesus of Nazareth

Disciples and Servants

You call me master and teacher . If I, then, am willing to be your most humble servant, should not you be willing to serve one another as well? I have lived my life as an example before you. Imitate me, and do the same to others as I have done for you.

Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for Your blessings and for the relationship that I have through Jesus with You in the Spirit; my source of source with my every breath, with my every heart beat. Relationships something that I feel void of, defective, out of place, and out of this world; often unable to relate, accept and connect. From my childhood I fail to see that which others see, and worry too much about that. O that You in Jesus would teach me and help me to only focus on You, and what You see as I look in the mirror with the eyes of the Spirit into my heart. ‘I know You’ve cast my/our sin as far as the east is from the west.’ I need You, we need You to Jesus teach me, teach us, O ‘Jesus can You show me/us  just how far the east is from the west.’ Let this day be a new beginning for me, us and for this nation under You Lord God. ‘Create in me/us a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me/us.’ Reach into the hearts of those that server us as leaders and convict them, as each of us, in the Spirit to overcome ourselves and accept, and chose to keep You first. Let me, let everyone embrace shepherd ship and servitude to our brother and sister in Jesus, as Jesus would lead us. And for the sake of His sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Let us ask our Lord to work in us and through us, and let us do our utmost to draw Him down into our hearts, for He Himself has said: "Without Me you can do nothing."

Wisdom 3:1-9

1  But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them.  2  In the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died, and their departure was thought to be an affliction,  3  and their going from us to be their destruction; but they are at peace.  4  For though in the sight of men they were punished, their hope is full of immortality.  5  Having been disciplined a little, they will receive great good, because God tested them and found them worthy of himself;  6  like gold in the furnace he tried them, and like a sacrificial burnt offering he accepted them.  9  Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his elect, and he watches over his holy ones. 
Psalm 23:1-6

1  The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;  2  he makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;  3  he restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.  4  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.  5  Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies; thou anointest my head with oil, my cup overflows.  6  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
John 6:37-40

37  All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out.  38  For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me;  39  and this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up at the last day.  40  For this is the will of my Father, that every one who sees the Son and believes in him should have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

The Pontiff in Winter: Triumph and Conflict in the Reign of John Paul II By John Cornwell Narrated by John Lee – Pope John Paul II is one of the most famous and influential political figures of the world. Now, best-selling author and journalist John Cornwell has written an accessible and provocative portrait of this highly charged figure, focusing primarily on the last five years and the major world events, and scandals within the Church that have impacted the papacy. The result is a thoughtful assessment of John Paul II’s legacy to the Church. In an age when many people see the Catholic Church as an institution in crisis, Cornwell raises the level of debate by posing difficult questions; chief among them is the effectiveness of a system that grants lifetime power to an individual vulnerable to the vicissitudes of aging and illness.
