“LIVING WORD OF GOD

“If only God would speak today!” someone once said to me during a spiritual conversation. Many of us are probably familiar with this wish. Every liturgy reminds us that God speaks to us. The introduction “A reading from…” indicates the book or the human author, while the conclusion states that what we have heard is the “The word of the Lord.” This word is not a dead letter. It is alive! The letter to the Hebrews says: “Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword…and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart” (4:12). God’s word wants to encourage, comfort, rebuke, stimulate, and motivate us.”
