When I am reading his wonderful meditations on St Matthew, Father Simeon Leiva-Merikakis always seems to take me to places in the Gospels where I have never been before, though I have been reading their pages and listening to them at Mass for over sixty years now.
What a gift to receive this meditation today. I am visiting believers in India this week and I see this beautiful vine you speak of spreading and extending here. It’s a profound truth that all God reveals to us is meant to be given away. Even when we don’t open our mouths to speak words, still his love can pour from our hearts and faces to offer his “shining from shook foil” to those perceived by the world to be the least of these when, in truth, they are the greatest in the kingdom. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gift with us, Denise.
You make me smile. And weep. Your description of this story is beyond wonderful! Don’t ever stop sharing your heart with us.
As always you broaden my mind, my heart, my soul, etc! Thank you again, Denise for sharing your Lectio Divina and Fr. Simeon’s with us. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
