THE WORD AND THE SAINT

The Word that moves!

1st October, 2015: Celebrating St. Teresa of Child Jesus
Neh 8: 1-12;Lk 10: 1-12

When Ezra read, the people listened, they cried, they celebrated, they gathered and they built themselves up - the center was the Word. 

The Seventy two: they went without money or deposit, without security or shelter, without food or furniture - the center was the Word. 

St. Teresa: lived just 24 years, never crossed her convent walls but today is known as the patroness of the missions - the center of her life was the Word. 

A life centered around the Word- that is the life that the Lord has invited us too. From a tender finger to a mighty power, the Word can move everything and today it beckons us to submit our lives too. Let us be moved by the Word and be people of the Word today.
