Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul, 29 October 2025 Wednesday in the Thirtieth Week of Ordinary Time, Year I Romans 8:26-30 <*[[[[>< + ><]]]]*> Luke 13:22-30
Brothers and sisters: The Spirit comes to the aid of our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes with inexpressible groanings (Romans 8:26).
Just like now, dear Jesus, so many things are in my heart, in my mind; there are times I like to pray on things I feel too difficult to express as if too deep for words; even my writing could not work except to feel assuredly of your loving presence, of your warm company; there are people and situations too I just hold in my hands before you because I can't find words to tell you about them... there are times lately I not only forget things and persons but sometimes can't even figure out what's going on in my life that has become like a vast expanse of ocean or field with dark clouds overlapping with lights of the setting sun; O Jesus, you know what's in my heart: just let me feel you, your joy and fullness and life!
“We know all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
If there is one thing I pray now, let me know you more, Jesus so I can love you more and follow you more closely; you know everything, Lord Jesus while I know nothing at all! Keep searching my heart so I may find you among those I take for granted, find you in simple persons and things that do not interest me, most especially find you in everyone in order to find my way to you! Amen. Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II Our Lady of Fatima University Valenzuela City
