Theme: Work & Service
“But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.”
Reflection for Today
Let 2 Samuel 11:9 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his lord, and went not down to his own house.”
2 Samuel is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church. A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings.
Today's invitation under the theme of Work & Service is simple and serious. Share this verse with someone who needs encouragement, not as advice from above, but as a gift you yourself are trying to live.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for speaking through 2 Samuel 11:9. You said, “But Urias slept before the gate of the king's house, with the other servants of his…” I do not want to rush past these words. Quiet my mind, warm my heart, and help me live what I have heard with faith, hope, and charity. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
