Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is 2 Kings 21:4: “And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I will put my name.”
2 Kings 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.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of 2 Kings 21:4 remain. Pray a decade of the Rosary with this verse in mind. Ask Mary to teach you how to keep God's word and ponder it, as she did.
Prayer
Holy Trinity, I receive today's verse with the Church. Keep 2 Kings 21:4 close to me. Let “And he built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord said: In Jerusalem I…” guard my thoughts from morning until night, and let my life quietly agree with Your word. Amen.
