Wednesday: ‘Morning by Morning He Wakens Me’

Like Jesus, the faithful Servant, I should go to God every morning and begin my day talking with my Creator.

Betrayal – Faith:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus foretold the betrayal of Judas. We should each face the truth that we too are capable of “betraying” Jesus through our sinful ways. If we love God daily, our relationship with Him would deepen and we would be less likely to “betray” Him.

Sacred Scripture does not record even one word spoken by Saint Joseph, the carpenter of Nazareth. And yet, even without words, he shows the depth of his faith, his greatness. We see how the word of the Living God penetrates deeply into the soul of that man, that just man. And we, do we know how to listen to the word of God? Do we know how to absorb it into the depths of our human personalities? Do we open our conscience in the presence of this word? - Pope John Paul II (Meditation on Saint Joseph)
