Spiritual Reading for Wednesday – Eighteenth Week After Pentecost
“Heu! Consolabor super hostibus meis!” “Alas! I will comfort myself over my adversaries: and I will be revenged of my enemies.”
Such is the language of God when He speaks of punishment and vengeance. He says He is constrained by His Justice to punish His enemies. But mark the word: Heu! Alas! — an exclamation by which God would give us to understand how grieved He is when He has to punish creatures whom He so dearly loved as to give His life for love of them
Morning Meditation for Wednesday – Eighteenth Week after Pentecost ~ St Alphonsus Liguori
The cause of all our punishment by God is sin, especially obstinacy in sin. If we do not remove the cause of the scourge, how can we escape the scourge itself?
Evening Meditations for the Eighteenth Tuesday After Pentecost~ St Alphonsus Liguori
The Divine Priest, Jesus Christ, Who was both Priest and Victim, by the sacrifice of His life for the salvation of men completed the Sacrifice of the Cross and accomplished the work of the world’s Redemption. By His death Jesus Christ stripped our death of its terrors. Until then it was but the punishment of rebels; but by grace and the merits of our Saviour it becomes a sacrifice so dear to God that when we unite it to the death of Jesus, it makes us worthy to enjoy the same glory that God enjoys, and to hear Him one day say to us, as we hope: Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord! (Matt. xxv.21).
