Theme: Strength
“And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.”
Reflection for Today
Let Genesis 28:3 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou mayst be a multitude of people.”
God's strength does not always remove the weight. Sometimes it teaches us how to carry it without losing charity. 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.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of Genesis 28:3 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 Genesis 28:3 close to me. Let “And God almighty bless thee, and make thee to increase and multiply thee: that thou…” guard my thoughts from morning until night, and let my life quietly agree with Your word. Amen.
