DIVINE WHISPER

TUESDAY OF THE FIRST WEEK OF LENT
The Power in His "Word" (cf. Isaiah 55:10-11)
From the table of the word today, prophet Isaiah reminded us of the power in God's word saying:
Thus says the LORD: "As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I intend, and prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isaiah 55:10-11)
Dearest in the Lord, God's word remains alive and active. In moment of challenge and cares of life, let us not forget His promise towards us all as His children. Evangelist Matthew following today's gospel pericope gave us modus of prayer as the Lord taught His discples. ( cf. Matthew 6:7-15) Using the Lord's word to pray makes our prayers more active than ever.
As we continue to journey with the Church for these forty days of intense prayer, self-denial (fasting) and active charity. Let us keep in mind that "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4). Peace be with you! Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you!
Let us pray
Look upon your family, Lord, that, through the chastening effects of bodily discipline, our minds may be radiant in your presence with the strength of our yearning for you. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
May the finger of God continue to illumine you as you preach the Word.
