I pointed out in the last reflection that we will not get a key to the interpretation of the current corona pandemic if we do not include the question of God.
It is the core to get answers that lead to the right actions and also to the discernment of spirits. Read More
Let us reflect again on a part of the reading that we had meditated on the last two days:
Ezek 28,12b-15
You used to be a model of perfection, full of wisdom, perfect in beauty; you were in Eden, in the garden of God. All kinds of gem formed your mantle: sard, topaz, diamond, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, garnet, emerald, and your ear-pendants and spangles were made of gold; all was ready on the day you were created. Read More
Ezek 28,1-19 Continued:
Yesterday, in our daily contemplation, we had looked at the blindness of Lucifer as seen in the text of Ezekiel together with the figure of the King of Tyros. “Your heart has grown proud because of your beauty, your wisdom has been corrupted by your splendour. I have thrown you to the ground” was said in Ezekiel 28,17. Read More
Ezek 28, 1-19
‘Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, “The Lord Yahweh says this: Because your heart has grown proud, you thought: I am a god; I am divinely enthroned far out to sea. Though you are human, not divine, you have allowed yourself to think like God. So, you are wiser than Daniel; no sage as wise as you! By your wisdom and your intelligence you have made yourself a fortune, you have put gold and silver into your treasuries. Read More
Mt 19,16-22
And now a man came to him and asked, ‘Master, what good deed must I do to possess eternal life?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you ask me about what is good? There is one alone who is good. But if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ Read More
Rom 11,13-15,29-32
Let me say then to you gentiles that, as far as I am an apostle to the gentiles, I take pride in this work of service; and I want it to be the means of rousing to envy the people who are my own blood-relations and so of saving some of them. Since their rejection meant the reconciliation of the world, do you know what their re-acceptance will mean? Nothing less than life from the dead! Read More
Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Lk 11,27-28
At the time when Jesus was speaking to the people, a woman from the crowd raised her voice and cried out to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breast that fed you! And he replied, “Yes, blessed are those who hear the word of God and follow it. Read More
In spite of the abundance of this subject area, it is appropriate in the context of daily spiritual reflection to work out only the most essential points in order to give the faithful the right orientation as to how the relationship of the Catholic Church to other religions is to be evaluated. This is all the more important, however, because a certain disorientation is spreading and with it an uncertainty with regard to the proclamation of the faith. Read More
The topic of yesterday still needs to be deepened and classified, because dealing with other religions and currents of thought from the perspective of faith is essential. Our world has meanwhile become so “small” and on the way of globalization, so that it is helpful for faithful Catholics to know how other religions are to be dealt with in a right way from the view of faith. Also the question how to assess the ecumenical efforts moves some believers. Read More
