TODAY’S WORD…

.

In Christ lives the fullness of divinity,

and in Him you too find your own fulfilment.

.

– Colossians 2:9-10 (JB)

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

The union of Christ’s human nature with His divine nature

is not just something which lasts for a while;

it is permanent.

.

In Jesus Christ, then, there are two natures, divine and human,

united in one person, who is divine.

.

Union with Christ makes Christians sharers in His “fullness”,

that is, in Divine Grace,

of which He is absolutely full and we have a partial share.

.

Union with Christ, through the Sacraments,

makes us sharers in His perfections,

and moves us towards attaining the fullness of Christian life

.

.

QUOTE…

.

“You have made us for Yourself, O Lord,

and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”

.

– St. Augustine

.

.

PRAYER…

.

My heart, my mind,

my body, my soul

– my entirety yearns for You, my Jesus.

.

Fulfill me, O Lord,

draw me close to You,

that I may share in Your grace and Your love

as I seek to become more like You,

and until I am one with You.

.

Amen.

.

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

My Lord, in You I am fulfilled!
