Thought for the day: The feats of engineering hinted at in the citations from Isaiah may seem physically daunting but are even more of a challenge on the intended spiritual level. The highway is for our God, and we could ask what in me impedes his way, how do I block the arrival of the Lord in my life? More positively, I could ask myself what do I do so that the Gospel may come alive in my life? With such cooperation from me, the Lord can and will bring to completion what he has begun. Prayer: O God, you search me, and you know me. Help me to know myself better; help me acknowledge and set aside the blocks to your coming. You have indeed begun a good work in me and, in spite of my hesitations and resistance, I too want it to be brought to completion under your graceful care. Amen. (Fr Kieran O’Mahony OSA)
Pope Francis on X: Modern slavery, human trafficking, forced labour, prostitution, and organ trafficking, is a crime “against humanity”. Each of us is a reflection of the image of God, and we cannot tolerate that the image of the living God is subjected to such abhorrent exploitation.
