Fruits Of My Daily Meditation For September 2024

Luke 9:48. Sept. 30, 2024. You know my heart too, Lord

Lord Jesus, You who knows the heart of men, read the hearts of your Apostles as they argue on who is the greatest amongst themselves. You gently caution them to keep their eyes away from vain glory and receive Your kingdom with the purity and humility of a child. You read my heart too, Lord. Help me, to pay attention to your gentle promptings whenever I begin to go astray. Fill me with a sense of constant self-reflection and keep me, dear Lord, on the right part of life. Thank you, Lord, for your daily advice to me. My all-knowing Jesus, I trust in you. Amen

Mark 9:43-47.  Sept. 29, 2024. Teach me, dear Lord,  to eliminate occasions of sin.

My radical Jesus, you teach me frankly today that sin, and only Sin, can destroy my life, and that I should do all it takes to avoid it. By your grace, dear Lord, help me, to eliminate occasions of sin in my life. Open my eyes to see those things that lead me to sin and fill me with the courage to say no to them. My radical Jesus, I trust in You. Amen

Luke 9:44-45,  Sept 28, 2024. Help me to accept your cross, Lord

My saving Lord, your Apostles did not want to hear you say you are going to be handed over to be crucified.  This could not make meaning to them because their love, trust, and hope for You were so dear. They could not answer for they were blind to the truth and never believed what You said could happen. My Lord and my God, help me to recognize your cross and accept it whenever it surfaces in my life. May I not be blinded to accept your will but let your will and the will of Your Father be done always. Like the Apostles, lead me gradually to believing and accepting your will. My saving Lord, I trust in you. Amen

Luke 9-18,  Sept 27 2024.  You invite me to the deepest human fulfillment, Lord.

Most Holy Jesus, as the Apostles, you invite me to solitude; a different level of prayer, with you. In solitude You entered body and soul into the deepest relationship with Your Father, thereby satisfying both your divine and human nature. You teach me that when in solitude with You, I receive the same deepest human satisfaction. Teach me, dear Lord, to stay with you more often and deeply in prayers that I may receive the deepest human fulfillment which only comes from you. Initiate me more into this deepest level of prayer each day, O Lord. My Most Holy Jesus, I trust in you. Amen

Luke 9:7-8. Sept. 26, 2024. Give me the grace to keep to your promptings, O Lord

Herod Antipas got Your promptings, Lord, and wishes he could see You, but never made efforts to meet You; a meeting that could have changed his life. My most caring Jesus, You speak to me all day, Lord, but at times I fail to listen. Help me with your grace, dear Lord, to hear and keep to your promptings. I choose to remain open to all that you ask of me. My Jesus, I trust in You. Amen

Luke 9:1-2  Sept 25, 2024. Free us from evil, Lord

My powerful Jesus, you commissioned your Apostles and gave them power over demons and their evil. You do not want to let the fallen angels torment your beloved children for they are powerless in your presence and in the presence of those who work and walk in you. Like the Apostles, you are sending us to this same mission. Forgive our witnesses, strengthen us, clear our thinking of the deceit of the evil ones, O Lord, empower and chastise us to accomplish your mission by overcoming the temptations and enticements of the evil one. My Jesus, I trust in you.  Amen

Luke 8:19-21. Sept 24, 2024 You desire that I should be your sibling, Lord.

My generous, Lord, you say all who listen to You and do what You say are Your mother and brothers. How marvelous is it that you desire that I should be your sibling? Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your generosity.  I do want to be one of your siblings. Give me the grace to listen and do what You say so that I may resemble You and bring You to others in all my ways. My generous Jesus, I trust in you. Amen

Luke 8:18. Sept 13, 2024. Fill me with your understanding, Lord.

Fill me with your understanding that I may comprehend Your words with all my senses, O Lord. Teach me how to ponder Your words and pray with them that I may understand You more for You are alive in Your word. You are truly the Living Word of God, teach me to love you more in your word. Jesus my Living Word, I trust in You. Amen

Matthew 9:11-13. Sept 19, 2024.  Help me respond to your invitation without hesitation, Lord.

You invite me every day to do your will, dear Lord. Help me respond to your invitations without hesitation. Like Saint Matthew, help me to detach myself from the things of the world and follow you wherever you lead me. My Jesus, I trust in You. Amen

Luke 8:1-2. Sept. 19, 2024. No one like You, Lord. Help me respond to you without hesitation, Lord.

Mary of Magdala, Joanna and Susanna followed you, Lord. In fact, they left everything and followed you because you deeply touched their lives. They were all in without fear and regrets. May I respond to you too, dear Lord, without fear nor regret because you are so good and so kind, and you are the only Lord of my Life.  No other Lord and Savior but You.  My Jesus I trust in you. Amen

Luke 7:48-50. Sept. 18, 2024.  It takes only repentance for you to receive me back when I stray, Lord.

Because sin takes me away from you and you alone have the power to forgive sins and restore me to daughter ship, Lord, I plead for the grace of true repentance when I stray.  I am amazed at the way you forgive others. Thank you for your forgiveness and for loving me and my family and my friends so dearly. My loving Jesus, I trust in You.  Amen

Luke 7:32-35. Sept. 17, 2024 Each day comes as new as new can be, Lord

You packed full each new day before it opens to me, dear Lord. Each new day is new as new can be; filled with its joys, hopes, trials, difficulties, challenges, and temptations. Teach me to receive each new day with a generous heart, dear Lord, and empower me to enjoy its joys and hopes and overcome its difficulties, challenges, and temptations. May I respond to prompting as you respond to them, Lord. My Jesus, I trust in you.  Amen

Luke 7:11-12. Sept. 16, 2024. You enter my story without my knowledge, Lord

Without my knowledge, without my concern, you do things for me, O Lord. You enter my story and do great things every day without my knowledge. Little did the widow of Nain know you would bring back the life of her only son. She thought she had lost it all but just then you came to her help. What a merciful God are you.  You are so loving, kind, and merciful and you hear the cry of the pour. You enter our stories without our knowledge.  You are mercifully great and worthy to be praised.  Fill my heart with mercy that I may be merciful to all as you are merciful. Thank you, Lord.  I trust in You. Amen

Luke 7:6-7.  Sept.15th, 2024, Thank You for Your Saints, Lord.

O Lord my God, I am not worthy enough to stand before you or come to you face-to-face as your saints will do.  Thank you dear Lord for the gift of Your Saints who intercede for us day and night. Like the Centurion I have sinned and are short of your glory, O God. Unworthy as I am, to place my request before You my Almighty Father I wish to call upon you, O Saint Therese Of The Child Jesus; The Little Flower, to intercede for me. You promised to live your heaven on earth saving souls, please do carry my prayers to God. O Little Flower, pray for us. Amen

John 3:13–15. Sept 14, 2024. You were lifted up for my Salvation, Lord

My all-knowing Jesus, you know all about me. Your thoughts about me are so deep. You see my actions before I do them. You see me always with your eyes of mercy. Help me dear Lord to see myself as you see me and to see others as you see them. Give me the grace of self-awareness that I may see and work on the wooden beam in my eye and not dwell on the splinter in other’s eyes.  Let mercy fill my eyes as I gaze on anyone in my life. My merciful Jesus, I trust in you.  Amen

Luke 6:24-26. Sept. 11, 2024. May I be happy because of you, dear Lord.

Lord, who will live in your presence? Who will claim your mountain and savor your goodness and mercies? Never the rich nor the poor but those with clean hearts and humble spirits.
