The word of God has the power to change
our lives. This powerful Word we get to know from the Scriptures. Moreover, when
we gather together and share our reflections in the community of believers we
are very enriched. Since when we are united during the prayer in the church,
the Spirit of God is among us. It also
happens in the smaller community, namely family.
First of all, we are to invite the Holy
Spirit in order to start meditating. At the same time, we need to realize that
we constitute a temple of God which is anointed and consecrated. Furthermore,
we read the bible not only for ourselves but for the whole community.
Eventually, after our personal prayer, we are able to share the good news to
the needy.
Are we ready to hear the word of God and
proclaim the Lord’s message to others? Even if we feel tired or even exhausted,
we are not allowed to keep the beauty of the Scriptures only for ourselves. We
should not keep the secrets of our intimate relationship with God only in the
depths of our soul.
Jesus Christ gives us an example of how to preach the Good News to the people. He knows that the world is in need of divine words. For there is enough bad news around us. We are to proclaim the optimistic and great mysteries of God towards the poor too. However, we should know that some people will accept us with great joy but others will reject us. Nonetheless, don’t be discouraged or disappointed. You are to share and become the apostle of the Good News despite consequences.
