“And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.”
Reflection for Today
Pause with Genesis 25:21. Hear these words again: “And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.”
Genesis 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 Genesis 25:21 remain. Before the day runs away, sit with this verse for two quiet minutes. Say it slowly. Notice which word stays warm in the heart, and carry that word into one conversation.
Prayer
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from Genesis 25:21. As I listen to “And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him,…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
