The Lord Is My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II
Thursday, Week II in Ordinary Time, Year I, 23 January 2025
Hebrews 7:25-8:6 <*{{{{>< + ><}}}}*> Mark 3:7-12
Let me come to you,
Jesus, with confidence
and humility to express
to you my deepest longings
and desires,
my deepest needs
and cries you know so well
but I always deny or too shy
to tell you completely.
Though I know very well
how your death on the Cross
is the single most important event
in history for all times
and for all peoples,
I balk its realities not for lack
of faith but due to low self-esteem,
lack of self-acceptance
that you do love me truly.
The main point of what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in heaven, a minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up. Now he has obtained so much more excellent a ministry as he is a mediator of a better covenant, enacted on better promises (Hebrews 8:1-2, 6).
Let me follow you,
Jesus like the people in
the gospel:
let me not follow you only
to the sea but even to the
Cross to be one in you,
one with you
for you alone
is truly one with me
everywhere,
all the time.
Amen.
