The Lord Is My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Friday in the Ninth Week of Ordinary Time, 09 June 2023 Tobit 11:5-17 ><]]]]'> + <'[[[[>< Mark 12:35-37
Thank you dearest Lord our God and loving Father for the week past, for the achievements and failures too, for joys and hurts, for everything. You are above all, God our Father; all good things come from you and if ever bad things happen to us as a result of our sins and wrong decisions or due to evil in the world, you are very much aware of its happening to us, always ensuring that despite its negative impact on us, it would still lead to something good and beautiful for us. Like in the blindness of Tobit. Give us the grace of patience and perseverance, and much faith and trust in you to await your day of redemption, your day of salvation, your day of healing and coming.
Then Tobit went back in, rejoicing and praising God with full voice. Tobiah told his father that the Lord God had granted him a successful journey; that he had brought back the money; and that he had married Raguel’s daughter Sarah, who would arrive shortly, for she was approaching the gate of Nineveh.
Tobit 11:15
Vanish all our doubts on you, Lord Jesus Christ; let us realize how the very scriptures identify you as our Messiah and Lord of all, the fulfillment of God's promise of Old; most of all, let us submit to your power and authority for you are our Lord and God alone. Amen.
