Meditations On The Love Of Jesus Christ – a book of bible verses, prayer, reflection, healing.
This is a book of meditations and reflections on the Gospels, structured to take us from the appearance of the Angel Gabriel to Mary all the way through to Christ’s walking with his disciples on the road to Emmaus, where their hearts burn to know that the Lord Jesus has been with them, where they recognize Jesus in their new life.
Reflections on the Bible are joined with prayer.
Perhaps towards the heart of prayer might be this:
Lord Jesus, heal me please and make me better.
I am sorry for all the things I have done wrong. I am sorry for all the ways in which I have not been as you want me to be.
Jesus, my friend, help me to acknowledge my helplessness, as a child, and so to be well in this life and to enter your Kingdom.
Lord Jesus, make me yours, please.
Forgive me. Make me better.
There is original artwork depicting scenes from the life of Jesus to assist in your prayer.
This could be a beautiful gift to yourself, or to someone you love and who loves you.
May the love of Jesus Christ be with us always.
Amen.

Jesus’ mission was to bring salvation through sacrifice. Jesus cared for his disciples, urging them to pray together for strength. An angel comforted Jesus, expressing divine support. Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane teaches us to pray, to seek God’s will and trust in God’s purpose, to find courage in our faith [ … ]
The first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke are more than history, as we now understand the term. The narrative captures core truths of the events which took place upon the birth of Jesus. They serve as a mirror in which we discover the meaning of the birth of Jesus and recognize that Jesus came to fulfil the promise of the Old Testament. They reflect the longing of the human heart as we find out about Jesus. To the Christians of Luke’s time, the infancy narrative of Luke’s Gospel offered a lesson in how to persevere in adversity as the Old Law gave way to the New. The attitude of Mary is a model to us all, as we welcome Jesus into our own lives. We marvel just as Joseph and Mary marvelled. Mary’s obedience teaches the way [ … ]
