“Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God.”
Reflection for Today
Let Romans 13:1 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and those that are ordained of God.”
Romans comes from the apostolic age, when the first communities were learning how to live the Gospel in ordinary struggles. The Church still listens here for guidance. Read in Catholic faith, this is not a decorative sentence for social media. It is a living word meant to convert, console, and send us back into ordinary life with a quieter heart.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Romans 13:1 remain. 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 Jesus, Word made flesh, You still teach Your disciples through Sacred Scripture. Through Romans 13:1, let “Let every soul be subject to higher powers. For there is no power but from God: and…” become more than a memory. Make it light for my work, patience for my home, and courage for my vocation. Amen.
