The Lord Is My Chef Breakfast Recipe-Prayer
Tuesday//16October2018//Week XXVIII, Year II
Galatians 5:1-6///Luke 11:37-41
Praised be O God, our loving Father!
So many times, we are like the Pharisee in the gospel, always inviting Jesus your Son who readily comes to us. Unfortunately, like that Pharisee, we are concerned only with externalities than what is inside. We invite Jesus only into our house but never into our home, only to be beside us but never in our hearts! True hospitality is when the heart is also the hearth.
“Oh you Pharisees! Although you cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, inside you are filled with plunder and evil. You fools! Did not the maker of the outside also make the inside?”(Lk.11:39-40)
Help us, O Lord to have what St. Paul preached to the Galatians, “faith working through love” (Gal.5:6) when we welcome you into our hearts to fill it with your warmth of love and mercy for everyone, giving life to others in a world that has gone selfishly cold with pride. AMEN. Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II, Parokya ng San Juan Apostol at Ebanghelista, Gov. F. Halili Ave., Bagbaguin, Sta. Maria, Bulacan 3022. E-mail to lordmychef@gmail.com.
