Lord My Chef Daily Recipe for the Soul, 30 October 2025
Thursday in the Thirtieth Week of Ordinary Time, Year I
Romans 8:31-39 ><))))*> + ><))))*> + ><))))*> Luke 13:31-35
Brothers and sisters: If God is for us, who can be against us? What will separate us from the love of Christ? Will angusih, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or the sword? As it is written: For your sake we are being slain all the day; we are looked upon as a sheep to be slaughtered. No, in all these things we conquer overwhelmingly through him who loved us (Romans 8:31, 35-37).
What else can I say
to these profound words
by St. Paul?
They are so true even
with us until now
with a new kind of paganism
hostile to the official teachings
of the Church as they prefer to
worship self in their body and
in their thoughts,
overextending their rights,
redefining even gender and
other natural institutions,
glorifying wealth and fame,
protecting animal rights
and environment without
any regard for persons especially
in their weakest stages in the
womb and old age...
the list goes on, Lord
but what's most sad,
even tragic
the attacks and hostilities
are not really from unbelievers
but from those who claim to be
Christians and Catholics.
Keep us strong
and faithful, Lord Jesus,
never let us separate from you;
fill us with courage too
to remain steadfast
in your ways and teachings,
to speak the truth,
to protect fellow believers
and defenders of faith
and most of all,
to keep loving your
beloved Body,
the Church.
Amen.
