"Just as doctors, choosing the most difficult diseases, write about them in their books and teach the method for treating them, so God introduced into Scripture the greatest of sins, so that through them, people with small faults might find an easy remedy.
For if those great sins were healed, how much more the lesser ones."
Reflection:
Christ shows us through His Scriptures the medicine to heal each of our stresses, anxieties, pain, and frustrations.
When we pray to God, we speak to Him. The more we choose to read Holy Scripture, the more we open ourselves to listen to God speaking to us. When we dedicate time to put away our devices and read, we are able to listen for the small still voice(2), for the Holy Spirit to write Christ on our hearts.
The path to union with Christ is found in the Scriptures and is guided and cultivated through our Liturgical and Sacramental life as Church.
Let us increase our reading of Scripture opening our mind, heart, and soul to the Word of God so that we may live more peacefully, lovingly, and in harmony with His Will.
