Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Wednesday, Twenty-Fifth Week in Ordinary Time, Year II Feast of St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina, 23 September 2026 Proverbs 30:5-9 <*((((>< + ><))))*> Luke 9:1-6
Your words today, dear God our Father are so comforting and reassuring of your loving presence; however, you teach us also too to completely trust you so that we may be comforted and reassured, thereby learn when enough is really enough.
Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die: Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; provide me only with the food I need; lest, being full, I deny you, saying, “Who is the Lord?” Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God (Proverbs 30:7-9).
Teach me to be content with whatever there is for me, not desiring more than I need so that I remain open for you and your work, for you O Lord is more than enough; teach me to learn to stop in pursuing whatever I set my eyes or heart on when it is causing more harm than joy and wellness for it is only in following you enough is enough; teach me, Lord, to be like St. Padre Pio in leading a simple life, just praying, hoping and not worrying for you O Lord is more than enough. Amen.
