Láthair Dé

“Éistigí! bíodh a fhios agaibh gur mise is Dia ann ‘
(Salm 46:10)
A Thiarna, go dtreoraí do Spiorad mé
do láithreacht grámhar a lorg níos mó agus níos mó.
Mar is ann a bhfaighim sólás agus sos ó fhothragadh an tsaoil.

Saoirse

“Sna laethanta siúd, mhúin Dia mé
mar a mhúineann mhúinteoir scoile dalta.” (Naomh Iognáid).
Meabhraím dom féin go bhfuil rudaí fós le teagasc ag Dia dom,
agus iarraim an grásta chun iad a chlos agus ligean dóibh mé a athrú.

Comhfhios

Conas atáim inniu?
Cá bhfuil mé le Dia? Le daoine eile?
An bhfuil rud éigin agam le bheith buíoch as? Ansin gabhaim buíochas.
An bhfuil rud éigin a bhfuil brón orm faoi? Ansin iarraim maithiúnas.

Briathar Dé

²⁴“No one can serve two masters, for a slave will either hate the one and love the other or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.^,

²⁵“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? ²⁶Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to your span of life? ²⁸And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, ²⁹yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. ³⁰But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ ³²For it is the gentiles who seek all these things, and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. ³³But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

³⁴“So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today’s trouble is enough for today.

Inspioráid

Éistim le focail Íosa ní hamháin mar chomhairle, ach smaoiním ar an gcaoi ar mhair sé dá réir. Smaoiním ar an difríocht a rinne a shaoirse i saol daoine eile agus i mo shaol féin fós. Labhraím leis faoi mo chuid imní agus éistim lena fhreagra agus é ag glacadh le mo chuid cúraimí.

Léiríonn Íosa dúinn go mbainteann imní an bonn den chreideamh. Cuirim mo chuid imní os comhair Dé agus iarraim cabhair air dearcadh níos fíre a bheith agam orthu.

Comhrá

A Thiarna, cuidigh liom teagmháil a dhéanamh leat. Ní bhíonn a fhios agam i gcónaí conas, ach ba mhaith liom do ghrá a fháil agus osclaím mo lámha agus mo chroí duit. Tar chugam inniu le do thoil.

Conclúid

Lán le láithreacht ghrámhar Dé,
Iarraim air beannacht a thabhairt dom agus mo chéimeanna a threorú
agus mé ag dul chun a chuid oibre a dhéanamh i mo shaol laethúil.
