TODAY’S WORD…

.

This is what the Lord says:

“Call to me, and I will answer you;

I will tell you wonderful and marvellous things

that you know nothing about.”

.

– Jeremiah 33:3 (GNT)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

“Jeremiah 333”

is often referred to as God’s telephone number!

.

This is how our loving God is,

He invites us to call Him

and promises that He will answer.

.

But when we call,

and after greeting Him with loving words and thankfulness,

and sharing our thoughts and feelings with Him,

we must stop

…and listen to what He has to say.

.

Sometimes, He may not tell us what we want to hear,

but then we must remember that He is God

and only He knows what is truly good for us.

.

If we listen to Him attentively

and with faith, love and hope,

then, whatever He may say to us

will be great and marvellous and uplifting,

…and He will shine a light in our heart.

.

Let us call “Jeremiah 333” every day!

.

.

.

PRAYER…

.

Almighty God,

how great You are!

.

Almighty God,

how generous You are!

.

Thank You for making Yourself so available,

and for being there, every time,

to answer my call.

.

Thank You for Your patience,

and for bearing with my complaints

and constant requests for favours.

.

Grant, O LORD, that whenever I call You,

I will listen attentively to Your voice

and learn from You,

and always welcome Your divine consolation and guidance,

and all the wonderful and marvellous things only You can tell me.

.

Amen.

.

.

.

YEAR OF FAITH 2012-2013

FROM THE CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH…

.

God, who "dwells in unapproachable light",

wants to communicate His own divine life to the men He freely created,

in order to adopt them as His sons in His only-begotten Son.

.

By revealing Himself, God wishes to make them capable of responding to Him,

and of knowing Him and of loving Him far beyond their own natural capacity.

.

[CCC 52]
