Daily Meditation: To Let the Word Become Flesh

Wednesday April 16, 2014 To Let the Word Become Flesh Spiritual reading is food for our souls.  As we slowly let the words of the Bible or any spiritual book enter into our minds and descend into our hearts, we become different people.  The Word gradually becomes flesh in us and thus transforms our whole beings.  Thus spiritual reading is a continuing incarnation of the divine Word within us.  In and through Jesus, the Christ, God became flesh long ago.  In and through our reading of God's Word and our reflection on it, God becomes flesh in us now and thus makes us into living Christs for today. Let's keep reading God's Word with love and great reverence.   We are now sending Weekly Lenten e-reflections.
