Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul, 16 October 2025 Thursday, Memorial of St. Margaret Mary Alacoque, Virgin Romans 3:21-30 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Luke 11:47-54
If there is one thing I could wish from you, Lord Jesus, at this very moment after hearing your words to sit beside you, just be with you to feel you - are you angry with us? Or mad, at least disappointed? I feel afraid and worried, Lord.
The Lord said: “Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter and you stopped those trying to enter.” When Jesus left, the scribes and Pharisees began to act with hostility toward him and to interrogate him about many things, for they were plotting to catch him at something he might say (Luke 11:52-53).
You are not only filled with courage and wisdom but very bold to express them; how I wish, Lord, I could have that grace to truly speak my heart out, to express what the Father had sent me to proclaim, to disturb the complacent and corrupt, the indifferent and self-righteous among us; or, at least, grant me Lord the diplomacy and formality of St. Paul who was very much like you in proclaiming the truth boldly and courageously. Let me sit more often in your silence and feelings, Jesus; let your salvation be manifested in me without any tinge of boasting except only in your most holy name. Amen. Fr. Nicanor F.
