Láthair Dé

Go raibh mo chroí lúcháireach i do ghrá, a Thiarna.
Lig dom bheith beo as an nua arís gach lá.

Saoirse

A Athair Neamhaí, léirigh dom cibé ualach atá á iompar agam inniu agus tabhair grásta dom é a chur ag bun do Chroise agus dul isteach saor san tráth paidreoireachta seo.

Comhfhios

Conas a mhothaím i ndáiríre? Éadrom-chroíoch? Trom-chroíoch?
Seans go bhfuil mé go mór faoi shíocháin, sásta a bheith anseo.
Mar an gcéanna, d’fhéadfadh go mbeadh frustrachas, imní nó fearg orm.
Admhaím conas atá mé i ndáiríre. Is é an fíor mise a bhfuil grá ag an Tiarna.

Briathar Dé

²⁸One of the scribes came near and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well he asked him, “Which commandment is the first of all?” ²⁹Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; ³⁰you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ ³¹The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” ³²Then the scribe said to him, “You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that ‘he is one, and besides him there is no other’; ³³and ‘to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding and with all the strength’ and ‘to love one’s neighbor as oneself’—this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” ³⁴When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” After that no one dared to ask him any question.

Inspioráid

Nuair a labhair Naomh Iognáid faoi bhealaí a aimsiú chun na Ríochta, bhí soiléireacht iontach físe aige nuair a rinne sé iarracht daoine eile a threorú. Tá an Tiarna chomh gonta céanna lena threoir féin nuair a deir sé linn grá a thabhairt do Dhia agus grá a thabhairt dár gcomharsa. Cuirim ceist orm féin an bhfuil mé tar éis cuid den imní sin a léiriú i leith daoine eile timpeall orm inniu.

Comhrá

Samhlaím anois duine amháin de Phearsa na Tríonóide romham, an tAthair, an Mac nó an Spiorad Naomh, cibé duine is nádúrtha a thagann chuig mo shamhlaíocht, agus bíonn comhrá croí-le-croí agam faoina méid atá díreach léite agam nó faoina bhfuilim ag mothú agus ag dul tríd i mo shaol inniu.

Conclúid

Gabhaim buíochas le Dia as na cúpla nóiméad seo a chaitheamar le chéile agus as aon léargas a fuair mé maidir leis an téacs.
