Láthair Dé

Is éard atá i gceist le bheith i láthair ná teacht mar atá duine agus bheith oscailte don eile.
Ag an bpointe seo, agus mé ag teacht anseo, tá Dia i láthair ag fanacht liom.
Bíonn Dia romham i gcónaí, ag iarraidh ceangal a dhéanamh liom
níos mó fiú ná an cara is dlúithe agam.
Glacaim nóiméad agus beannaím do mo Dhia grámhar.

Saoirse

Déanaim iarracht scaoileadh le haon chlaontacht no caol-intinn
a bhfuil ag cur scamaill ar mo fhís faoi láthair.
Geillim iad do chúram trócaireach Dé, ionas gur féidir liom guí i saoirse, fírinne agus soiléireacht.

Comhfhios

Agus mé ag caitheamh an t-am seo leat, a Thiarna,
Tá a fhios agam cé chomh beannaithe is atá mé go fírinneach.
Smaoiním ar an ngrá agus ar na grásta i mo shaol,
agus mothaím buíoch.

Briathar Dé

²⁴He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field, ²⁵but while everybody was asleep an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away. ²⁶So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. ²⁷And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?’ ²⁸He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?’ ²⁹But he replied, ‘No, for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. ³⁰Let both of them grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.’ ”

³¹He put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; ³²it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

Inspioráid

Ciallaíonn an nath "Namhad an fheabhais foirfeacht" go féidir, má táimid ró uaillmhianach, go ligfimid an deis tharainn rud maith a dhéanamh in iarracht foirfeacht a bhaith amach, agus nuair a theipeann orainn, gan faic a bhaint amach. I bparabal an lae inniu tá mearbhall ar na searbhóntaí - tá fhios acu gur síol maith a chuir siad, ach tá cogal anois ar fud an ghoirt. Is mian leis na searbhóntaí an cogal ar fad a bhaint láithreach, ach tá fear an tí sách críonna gan scaoileadh leo. Mar sin atá inár mbeatha. Ní furasta i gcónaí arbhar a aithint thar cogal.

Comhrá

Suím go ciúin le mo Dhia a bhfuil aithne aige ar gach smaoineamh, ar gach riachtanas agus ar gach mian atá ionam, agus ligim dó aire a thabhairt dom sa nóiméad seo. Faighim pé cothú a theastaíonn uaim don turas.

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.
