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.

(see Matthew 12:1-8) The Pharisees said, “See, your disciples are doing what is unlawful to do on the Sabbath.” . . . Jesus replied, “If you knew what this meant, I desire mercy, not sacrifice, you would not have condemned these innocent men.”
 
May we not focus only on the incidentals and then fail to see the love needed instead.
