Serving the Word: 18th November

FRIDAY 18th NOVEMBER 2022

Luke 19, 45-48:

“My house is a house of prayer but you have made it a den of thieves”.

 

A very human tendency of all ages, including our own, is to try to control God, thinking that he does not control us in this way.

That is why we locate his presence in a certain place and dedicate certain times to it. But God always surpasses and goes beyond our human schemes of things.

He does not need material churches because his true temple is the heart of every human being.

Nor does he need specific times because the worship he wants is in spirit and in truth.

Of course, it is necessary that we have special places and times to meet him.

But let us never lose the meaning: each person is a living stone in the sanctuary that God wants.

You are also one of those living stones. May the sanctuary of your heart be a place where the Lord continually dwells.

Ask Him to cleanse it of everything that hinders you from meeting him, and to throw out of it everything that can turn it into a marketplace or a business bank.

Good day to you.

Antonio Sanjuan Cmf
