power that recreates

Day 31
Exodus 12:37-42
Generosity with God
Day 31 | Exodus 12:37-42

The Lord is leading you, your brothers are with you, and the destination is worth it. Stick to Christ’s roadmap: prayer, asceticism, fraternity. This has led you out of Egypt; it will lead you all the way to the promised land.

Defilement
Gospel & Reflection
Mark 7:14-23

He came among us to restore the circulation of love by gifting those of faith with his own indwelling Holy Spirit, and so securing a new mind and heart within the human. This mind and heart belongs to God. We only need to be available to its loving power, a power that recreates us, purifies and rectifies us. It is a power that can lead us to literally become saints.

Slavery of the Heart
Day 39 | Exodus 16:1-3

One day away from Day 40, take note of the difference between your external reality and your interior reality. There is a reason this spiritual exercise goes for ninety days and not just forty. There is yet more internal work to be done. Greater freedom lies ahead for you, as it does for the Israelites. Give thanks to the Lord for the external progress you have made, and keep following him beyond Day 40 in relentless pursuit of internal freedom, all the way to Day 91.

Today should not be a day of disappointment over the work that still needs to be done. It should be a day of gratitude for the work the Lord has already accomplished in you. Take time in your holy hour today to receive the gift of joy from the Lord. He is proud of you.

So I guess it everything has come together very strongly now. I realize that I just need to stay in my flow with Jesus. So yesterday I went on a bike ride down to the art show in the warehouse district. Coming back I went downtown in Saint Pete, visiting the library sitting to write. There was a survey on the table, asking for student volunteers to join the library development board. Of course to have a PhD graduate student offer time in it is really rare.

Of course, I told them in the comments where to put the patio tables and the chairs outside so that the place would get packed with people. It was the science festival outside the window. I took pictures and videos. I was surprised to see that Saint Pete police security towers with somebody there watching everybody.

Lol, so I posted to the St Raphaels fraternity:

Wow busy week, and I’m getting ready to bike to mass, still too cold for just a swim suit! The prayers and testimony have been wicked awesome… while the readings fell behind,

Now as I go: Today should not be a day of disappointment over the work that still needs to be done. It should be a day of gratitude for the work the Lord has already accomplished in you. Take time in your holy hour today to receive the gift of joy from the Lord. He is proud of you. https://vortex4love.blogspot.com/
