1st August 2019 Thursday 17th Week of Ordinary Time - St. Alphonsus Liguori

Reflection
Exodus 40:16-21,34-38, Matthew 13:47-53

“Catching fish”
When a net is cast into the sea, it catches every fish of all kinds. The kingdom of God is like a net cast into the sea of humanity. God welcomes everyone: the good as well as the bad, the sinner as well as the saints. Everyone is welcomed to experience God and His love. No one is excluded by God. No one is condemned by God. This is because His desire is that all may have life in all its fullness.

Today, let us spend this time of prayer to enjoy our love story with God. In this time and space, God and we meet. We seek each other, we find one another, we celebrate one another, we love one another. Let us be instruments of His love to all whom we will encounter today.

Question for reflection:
1) How can I welcome everyone to experience God’s love, without discrimination?
