“And they cried to God: and as they were crying, a little fountain grew into a very great river, and abounded into many waters.”
Reflection for Today
Let Esther 11:10 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And they cried to God: and as they were crying, a little fountain grew into a very great river, and abounded into many waters.”
Esther, received in the Catholic canon, shows courage, fidelity, and providence when God's people are tested. A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings.
As you hold this verse, do not force a dramatic feeling. Ask only for faithfulness. If the verse consoles you, do not rush past the comfort. Gratitude is also a form of obedience.
Prayer
Lord God, thank You for speaking through Esther 11:10. You said, “And they cried to God: and as they were crying, a little fountain grew into a very…” 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.
