Today’s readings bring to light two pivotal concepts. Firstly, they underscore the necessity of deeply embedding the word of God in our hearts. This internalization provides strength and guidance to our lives. On the other hand, they caution us about the fragility of our lives when we lack a profound understanding of these teachings. It is crucial to develop, over time, the resilience and persistence required to keep the word of God vibrant in our lives. This holds true irrespective of whether we are navigating smoothly or facing hardships. The Word of God should be our guiding light in every situation. Let us praise God for his goodness. Life invariably presents challenges, temptations and obstacles that can distract us from truly embracing these spiritual teachings. Therefore, regardless of our circumstances, it is essential to remain steadfast in our spiritual journey, continually nurturing our connection with the Lord.

PRAYER: Abba Father, strengthen us to prepare the soil of our hearts, so that your Word may find a fertile place within us. Amen.
