May we have a word?
Church leaders have chosen scripture passages to be read in private and proclaimed publicly at Mass every day of the year. A daughter in Illinois, a cousin in England, friends in El Salvador, the pope in Rome, and the guest t a Catholic Worker House – every Catholic involved in a liturgy is reading or hearing the same scripture passages. The church strongly encourages us to read from the Bible and promises that the Holy Spirit will give a “spiritual understanding of the word to those who read it.” Read today’s scripture
passages and ask for the grace of one small insight. (TakeFiveForFaith.com)
