“Thus says the Lord: Just as the from the heavens the rain and snow come down, and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows, and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11. St. Padre Pio said, “Before beginning to read…raise your mind to the Lord, and implore him to guide your mind Himself, to speak to your heart, and move your will.”
Let us pray, God Our Father, your word is alive, bringing life to our body and soul. O God, during this Lent we ask your help – to commit to feeding on your word, daily. May we take time out to stop and prayerfully read your word. May it become our food, light for our thoughts, our decisions, our actions. May your word live in us we pray. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
