TODAY’S WORD…

When I saw Him, I fell down at His feet like a dead man.  He placed His right hand on me and said, “Don’t be afraid!  I am the First and the Last.  I am the Living One!  I was dead, but now I am alive forever and ever.  I have authority over death and the world of the dead.”

– Revelation 1:17-18

REFLECTION…

When the glory of Christ, or the glory of God, is manifested, we become so conscious of our insignificance and unworthiness that we are unable to remain standing in His presence. But the risen Christ knows His followers, and He lovingly places His right hand on us and His first words are always of peace and reassurance.

By His death and resurrection Christ overcame death – He has full power over death and over the mysterious world beyond the grave. He has absolute dominion over all – He is the First and the Last!

QUOTE…

“Christ is alive. This is the great truth which fills our faith with meaning. Jesus, who died on the cross, has risen. He has triumphed over death; He has overcome sorrow, anguish and the power of darkness” – St. Josemaria Escriva

PRAYER…

My Lord and my God, You deserve all glory and honour

You are the First and the Last! You are Lord!

I want to always love You, Lord.

Help me, Lord.
