The Lord Is My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Wednesday in the Twenty-first Week of Ordinary Time, Year I, 30 August 2023 1 Thessalonians 3:7-13 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Matthew 24:42-51
Loving Father, it is always good to be affirmed, to be praised, to be accepted; but, like St. Paul, there is no greater joy for me than to be your servant and vessel of grace! Keep me simple and humble, to desire nothing but to do your will and bring people closer to you, not me.
And for this reason we too give thanks to God unceasingly, that, in receiving the word of God from hearing us, you received it not as a word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God, which is now at work in you who believe.
1 Thessalonians 2:13
Remind me always, dear Lord, to share only Jesus, always Jesus; let me learn to leave the scene immediately after I have accomplished your will; most of all, may the people I serve forget me to only remember you alone. Amen.
