“That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is Leviticus 22:8: “That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat, nor be defiled therewith. I am the Lord.”
Leviticus 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. 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 Leviticus 22:8 remain. If the verse convicts you, do not panic. Take it to Confession when you can, or begin with an honest Act of Contrition tonight.
Prayer
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from Leviticus 22:8. As I listen to “That which dieth of itself, and that which was taken by a beast, they shall not eat,…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
