Holy Spirit of God teach me how your Grace is sufficient for me...

 
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 & Luke 11:14 -23

 
Jesus’ parable of a man hiring a guard for his house was his answer to those who accused him of being in league with Satan. Jesus was not a fallen angel who had a stiff neck and turned his back on the Lord. But Jesus was a “Holy One” – the Holy One – who know what it was to listen to the Lord God and knew the power of his Father’s Grace. When Jesus was crucified at Golgatha as one who was ‘in league with Beelzabub’ Jesus did not put his trust in good spirits, or in the evil spirits as his accusers falsely claimed –Jesus didn’t need to hire anyone to guard him. Instead he trusted in his Father’s purpose and power without compromise and trustingly faced his Father throughout his passion without turning. He trusted that this Father’s Grace was sufficient to raise him from the tomb of earthly anguish and evil, to live again. Will I, like our Lord Jesus Christ, St. Paul and all martyrs of Faith, learn how God’s Grace is always sufficient? Holy Spirit of God teach me how your Grace is sufficient for me.
 
O Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our maker! For his is our God, and we are the People of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. O today do not harden your hearts!    (Psalm 95:7-8 )
 
Be attentive to the voice of Grace!
St, Elisabeth Ann Seton
