“And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is Esther 7:5: “And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should do these things?”
Scripture rarely flatters us. It loves us enough to tell the truth, and then it stays with us while we learn to live that truth. Esther, received in the Catholic canon, shows courage, fidelity, and providence when God's people are tested.
God often changes us less by thunder and more by a line of Scripture that will not leave us alone. If the verse consoles you, do not rush past the comfort. Gratitude is also a form of obedience.
Prayer
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from Esther 7:5. As I listen to “And king Assuerus answered and said: Who is this, and of what power, that he should…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
