TODAY’S WORD…

.

When you pray, I will answer you.

When you call to me, I will respond.

.

If you put an end to oppression,

to every gesture of contempt,

and to every evil word;

if you give food to the hungry

and satisfy those who are in need,

then the darkness around you

will turn to the brightness of noon.

.

And I will always guide you

and satisfy you with good things.

I will keep you strong and well.

You will be like a garden that has plenty of water,

like a spring of water that never goes dry.

.

– Isaiah 58:9-11 (GNT)

QUOTE…

.

“Let each of the faithful examine his own conscience,

seeking out his deepest desires;

if he finds the fruits of love within his soul,

he will know that God is with Him,

and he should strive even harder

to be worthy of so great a Guest,

being ever more generous in his works of mercy.”

.

– St. Leo the Great
