Theme: God's Love
“If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction: and if thou love to hear, thou shalt be wise.”
Reflection for Today
Let Sirach 6:34 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction: and if thou love to hear, thou shalt be wise.”
Sirach belongs to the wisdom books, where faith meets daily decisions. Holiness is not only for extraordinary moments; it is learned in ordinary choices. If this verse speaks of love, it invites a question that is quietly demanding: whom am I being asked to love more concretely today?
God often changes us less by thunder and more by a line of Scripture that will not leave us alone. Pray a decade of the Rosary with this verse in mind. Ask Mary to teach you how to keep God's word and ponder it, as she did.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, Word made flesh, You still teach Your disciples through Sacred Scripture. Through Sirach 6:34, let “If thou wilt incline thy ear, thou shalt receive instruction: and if thou love to…” become more than a memory. Make it light for my work, patience for my home, and courage for my vocation. Amen.
