Theme: Strength
“The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God.”
Reflection for Today
The Church sets before us Sirach 10:27: “The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God.”
Sirach belongs to the wisdom books, where faith meets daily decisions. Holiness is not only for extraordinary moments; it is learned in ordinary choices. True strength in Scripture is often quiet. It is the courage to remain faithful when quitting would be easier.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Sirach 10:27 remain. If the verse consoles you, do not rush past the comfort. Gratitude is also a form of obedience.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, Word made flesh, You still teach Your disciples through Sacred Scripture. Through Sirach 10:27, let “The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater…” become more than a memory. Make it light for my work, patience for my home, and courage for my vocation. Amen.
