06-02-2024 Sirach 51 V1920 Secrets of Salvation; Desires of wisdom of Jesus Himself
The Book of Sirach Ch 51 v- 19 thru 20
19 I burned with desire for her (wisdom, Jesus Himself), never relenting. I became preoccupied with her (wisdom, Jesus Himself), never weary of extolling her (wisdom, Jesus Himself). I spread out my hands to the heavens and I came to know her (Christ-fed) secrets. 20 For her (Jesus) I purified my hands; in cleanness I attained to know her, (to know Jesus). At first acquaintance with her, (Jesus), I gained understanding such that I will never forsake her (wisdom, Jesus Himself).
In the quiet recesses of my soul, there lies an insatiable yearning for the Secrets of Salvation, a burning desire that consumes my every thought and action. It is a longing not just to know about Jesus, but to truly know Him—to feel His presence, to hear His voice, and to understand the depths of His wisdom. This divine ache propels me to seek the wisdom of Jesus Himself, a wisdom that transcends all earthly knowledge and leads me closer to the heart of God. Each day, I find myself never weary of extolling this sacred wisdom, for it is a wellspring of life that refreshes and renews my spirit.
With hands lifted to the Heavens, I have come to know the Christ-fed secrets that illuminate the path of righteousness and grace. In moments of quiet prayer and deep meditation, these divine truths are revealed to me, each one a precious gift from the Creator. Inspired by God’s boundless love and grace, I have been granted an understanding that compels me to never forsake His Spirit. It is through this spiritual connection that I find strength, courage, and unwavering faith, even in the face of life’s greatest challenges, even death itself seemingly ready to die for another.
Living the Secrets of Salvation is not merely a passive experience, but an active, vibrant journey of faith. It is a daily commitment to walk in the light of Christ, to embrace His teachings, and to share His love with the world. As I immerse myself in these sacred truths, I am transformed from within, becoming a vessel of His divine wisdom and grace. The ache for the Secrets of Salvation is a testament to the profound and eternal relationship I share with Jesus, a relationship that sustains me and guides me on the path to eternal life.
The Secrets of Salvation are found in the Eucharist, where we become Spirit-led, God-inspired, and Christ-fed by His True Presence, encompassing the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. In this sacred sacrament, we encounter the profound mystery and intimate reality of God’s love, as we partake in the holy feast that nourishes our souls and fortifies our faith. The Eucharist is the pinnacle of our spiritual journey, where heaven and earth meet, and we are drawn into a deeper communion with our Savior. As Jesus Himself proclaimed, “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink” (John 6:54-55). In this divine banquet, we are transformed and empowered to live as true disciples, embodying the love and grace of Christ in all that we do; to experience the Secrets of Salvation. Amen.
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.
At the Savior’s command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.
I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20
06-02-2024 Sirach 51 v-1920
**Desires of wisdom of Jesus Himself**
In shadows deep, where secrets lie,
A yearning heart began to cry,
For wisdom’s flame, a guiding light,
To know my Savior in the night.
With fervent prayer, my soul did soar,
Seeking truth and nothing more,
In Jesus’ name, my spirit found,
A love so pure, profoundly sound.
Unwearied lips, His praise outpour,
Extolling wisdom evermore,
His words, a balm to heal and mend,
A grace that knows no bitter end.
With hands uplifted to the skies,
I glimpsed the truth through tearful eyes,
Christ-fed secrets, deeply sown,
By God’s own breath, forever known. Amen.
