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 read and pray 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 prayer.
This could be a beautiful gift to yourself, or to someone you love and who loves you.
It is an excellent book. It is a work of pure beauty. There is such intelligence and clarity of thought.
May the love of Jesus Christ be with us always.
Amen.

In unpacking this text, Gregory speaks not only as a biblical interpreter but as a pope with a profound concern for the souls of his people — both lay and ordained. His reflections continue to resonate in Christian thought, especially on what has come to be known as ‘Good Shepherd Sunday’ [ … ]
Saint Ignatius of Antioch returns to one of his central themes: the inseparable unity of the Church under one bishop, presbyters, and deacons. His appeal is both pastoral and theological, shaped by his conviction that visible unity reflects the inner unity of Christ himself. For Ignatius, the structure of the Church is not a matter of administration but an expression of divine order [ … ]
George Herbert’s Affliction (4) explores a personal and spiritual journey marked by expectation, suffering, and ultimate resignation to God’s will. The poem follows Herbert’s movement from early enthusiasm and joy in his relationship with God to a period of deep suffering and questioning, before finally arriving at a state of reluctant submission. The structure and language of the poem reflect the volatility of this experience, capturing shifts in mood and understanding as Herbert struggles with divine providence [ … ]
