JOURNAL/HEARING THE WORD OF GOD
“JESUS REPLIED, 'Rather-BLESSED are those who hear the WORD OF GOD and KEEP IT'”
Luke 11:28
This was in response to a woman who approached him and said that Jesus' mother was blessed
WAS Jesus denigrating his own mother-OF COURSE NOT-For Jesus knew as we KNOW that Mary was the first one who heard the WORD OF GOD and OBSERVED it-She said yes to the ANGEL and let the WORD of GOD be the GUIDE for her life
Mary heard the WORD of God-said “YES” and acted upon it-WE are ALL called upon to do the same
DEAR LORD-it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in God's love for us-and a GREAT DAY to hear the WORD OF GOD-answer YES like Mary-and act upon it by PUTING GOD first and LOVING others as ourselves

“Hearing
the Word of God”
In
the 13th
Chapter
Of
Saint Matthew’s Gospel
Jesus
tells the story
Of
the parable of the sower
He
tells the story
Of
a farmer
Sowing
his seed
He
tells us about
How
the birds
Eat
up some of the seed
And
he tells us
How
some of the seed
Fall
on rocky ground
And
doesn’t grow
And
some fall in the thorns
And
don’t grow
But
some of the seed falls on good soil
And
produces a great harvest
What
about us
In
today’s world
Is
God harvesting
A
crop in us
I
dear say
We
live in a godless society
People
want the word “God” off of money
People
want no prayer in school
No
ten commandments plaque on public property
Maybe
We
can’t change the world
But
we can
Have
a soft heart
We
can have
A
listening ear
We
can give someone
A
hug or a handshake
WE
can be there
For
our family, our friends
Maybe
even someone
We
don’t like so much
How
about you
Is
God’s love and word
Alive
in you
Maybe
if
Enough
of us
Decide
to put God’s word first
Decide
to love and be kind to one another
Maybe
we really can
Begin
to change the world
