Defining Duty to the Divine


The decision we make to pray for someone is a spiritual uniting of our loving concern for someone with the Transcendent Love which changes reality. The passage today from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah in the Roman Catholic Lectionary presents the healing of Hezekiah and the promise of the rescue of Judah from the control of the Assyrians. Friar Jude Winkler assures that the Love which is communicated in prayer is connected to the action of God in changing reality to the most loving outcome. The Gospel of Matthew proclaims two Divine attributes today. Jesus, the Son of Man, is the authority over the righteous observance of worship behaviour for people. The behaviour which gives glory and praise to God is mercy for the needs of people.
