break open the word of god

7/11/2020

 
My dear friends,
Woven into our scriptures this weekend is the power of the Word of God.  This Word comes to us through Sacred Scripture.  It is our choice what we do with it.  During this time of COVID-19, it is my prayer that we take the time to break open the Word of God, to see how God is speaking to us, planting seeds within us, each and every day.  How do we activate those seeds?  By feeding them, nurturing them, and allowing the divine gardener to water them and activate them so that they take root in our lives.  The power of communion (or spiritual communion) is the best divine fertilizer.  So very simple yet so powerful.  May the power of God’s Word transform our lives this day!
God bless, Fr. Greg
