Gospel
Luke 11:27-28
Blessed is the womb that carried you. Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.
While Jesus was speaking, a woman from the crowd called out and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that carried you and the breasts at which you nursed.” He replied, “Rather, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”
Reflection
Blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it. What is the word of God? To some the word of God is a way of life. To some it is a road map to where we are going. What is more important is the two steps recommended by Jesus. Firstly to read or listen to the word of God. Secondly to put it into practice. Do we read and listen to the word as part of our life?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus in our daily lives we are met with challenges and obstacles. One of the way you give your answer is through readings in the bible. Help us oh lord to make reading the word of God and observe it as a way of life.
Amen
