Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul, 08 August 2025 Friday, Memorial of St. Dominic de Guzman, Priest Deuteronomy 4:32-40 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Matthew 16:24-38
Thank you dear Lord, my God for another week of work and tasks about to close; another "crossing" I am to complete; you have done so much to me, you have given me with so much, and I have given back so little, even nothing at all. The words of Moses echo to me personally today as in those days when your people were about to cross Jordan into the Promised Land.
This is why you must now know, and fix in your heart, that the Lord is God in the heavens above and on earth below, and that there is no other (Deuteronomy 4:39).
When I look to my past and see how I have passed every trial and struggle, how I have grown and matured from the many lessons of life, how I have felt so loved and fulfilled deep inside, there is only you, God my loving Father personally coming to me, personally blessing me, personally guiding me in Jesus Christ your Son; you don't need anything back for yourself, Father; you don't need anything from us except our very self not for you but still for our very self - to have more of you, to be fulfilled in you, to be one in you in Jesus Christ who invites us daily to deny our self, take up our cross, and follow him. Amen.
St. Dominic De Guzman, pray for us to lead our lives in total gratitude in God like you. Amen.
