JUST A THOUGHT

PRAYER:

Lord God, strength of those who hope in you,

Support us in our prayer:

Because we are weak and can do nothing without you,

Give us always the help of your grace

So that, in fulfilling your commandments,

We may please you in all we desire and do.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen- so be it.

Which Mary did today’s Gospel [Lk.7:36-50] talk about?

“Now a certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill” {Jn.11:1-2}

Praise the Lord from the Heavens

We are in the world yet we are expected to praise the Lord from the heavens hence Heaven is not a place but the state of a soul at any given time since a soul is heavenly entity created by God whose throne is in heaven. We are expected to connect to the heavenly court every second consciously or unconsciously lest we will be deceived by the visuals of the world that we see (‘and we do this so that we may not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs’ 2 Cor.2:11) rather we should do everything possible to connect with the heavenly realm while still living in this corrupt world and return to our Home; Heaven {“but our citizenship is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ” Phil.3:20}
