Father Jim’s Daily Reflection

Father Jim Radloff

Up at 4:30 am each day for prayer, Father Jim soon discovered that others were also seeking to start their day with a short inspirational quote from the Bible. So taking advantage of Social Media, he began sharing with others the fruits of his early morning prayer amongst Sacred Scriptures. Using Lectio Divina with the daily readings from the Catholic Mass, Father Jim was now presenting a reflection that could help people throughout their day. We are happy to share these thoughts with you.

(Matthew 16:27) Jesus said, “For the Son of Man will come with his angels in his Father’s glory, and then he will repay everyone according to his conduct.”
 
Best to not see in this promise of Jesus motivation to live one’s life under a fear of punishment, but to see instead encouragement to live life with wholesome joy because of the reward that will be received.
