Isaiah 55:10-11, Psalm 34, Matthew 6:7-15
Link to Readings --> http://www.usccb.org/nab/021208.shtml
"[My word] shall not return to Me void, but shall do My will, achieving
the end for which I sent it." —Isaiah 55:11
Many pray the rosary regularly in front of abortion mills. The rosary is a
Scriptural prayer from today's Gospel reading (Mt 6:9-13) and also from
Luke 1:42. As these intercessors pray the word of God, they wield His word
like a weapon. In Cincinnati, the long-term faithful prayers of these
prayer-warriors has resulted in the closing of one abortion mill on
several Saturdays each month.
God's word is a means to victory. Jesus used God's word to defeat the
devil in the desert (Mt 4:4, 7, 10). "Is not My word like fire, says the
Lord, like a hammer shattering rocks?" (Jer 23:29) "Indeed, God's word is
living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword" (Heb 4:12). The
word of God gets the job done; it always achieves His purpose (Is 55:11).
God's word can't be stopped (2 Tm 2:9; Mk 4:26-29).
One of the purposes of this booklet, One Bread, One Body, is to teach and
encourage Catholics, and anyone else, to read, pray, study, live, teach,
and wield God's word for victory, particularly in the context of Holy
Mass. You are disciples of Jesus, the Word (Jn 1:1, 14). Therefore, "speak
God's word with confidence" (Acts 4:31). "Spread" the Word of God "with
influence and power" (Acts 19:20).
Prayer: Jesus, I dedicate myself to sowing Your word (Mk 4:3ff).
Promise: "Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him." —Mt 6:8
