TODAY’S WORD…

.

Your Word is a Lamp to my feet

and a Light to my path.

.

– Psalm 109:105

IMPORTANT NOTICE…

.

We have to announce to our 650+ subscribers

that as from Sunday the 23rd June to Saturday the 20th July 2013,

circumstances have dictated that the “Lamp…” cannot be issued.

We are truly sorry, but during these coming four weeks

we are unable to produce the “Lamp…”

and unable to send out our daily e-mail.

.

We have discerned and prayed (a lot!),

and it seems that, for this period of time,

it is God’s wish that readers of the “Lamp…” take the initiative

and make an extra effort and do their own reading of Scripture;

reflect upon what they read;

and lift their own prayer to Him.

.

God wants us to do some serious homework!

God wishes us to do some serious quality time with Him.

.

.

.

READINGS…

.

In the daily “Lamp…”, we normally reflect on a particular verse or more taken from the day’s Liturgy.

You could try to do the same.

You can read the day’s Liturgy every day by going to the following URL: http://www.universalis.com/mass.htm.

PRAYER…

.

Eternal God,

Your Word is a Lamp to my feet

and a Light for my path.

Teach me the true way of prayer;

nourish me by Your Word;

fill me with Your Spirit;

and give me the grace to please You in all that I do.

.

My lord and my God,

help me get to know you better

so that day by day, through Your Word,

I may enter into the fullness of life.

.

Amen.

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Here I am Lord, nourish me by Your Word.

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

A Catechism can best be described as

"a summary of principles, often in question-and-answer format"

The decision to publish a catechism (of the Catholic Church)

was taken at the Extraordinary Assembly of the Synod of Bishops

that was convened by Pope John Paul II on 25 January 1985

for the 20th anniversary of the close of the Second Vatican Council.

The text was approved by Pope John Paul II on 25 June 1992.

You can access the Catechism of the Catholic Church on line

by going to http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/ccc_toc.htm,

which is the Contents page.

At the bottom there is a box to help you search through the Catechism.
