Bible Sunday

This week is the 15th Ordinary Week and we celebrate Bible Sunday.

The readings of the week are as follows:
[Amos 7:12-15] [Ephesians 1:3-14] [Mark 6:7-13]

We live our lives according to the Word of God. The "to do" list and the "to be" list are found in the Word of God. God has a challenging plan for us to follow while we are on this earth.

Our role model is Jesus. Importantly, we must be concerned with our character and do what is pleasing to God. St Paul has said that if we are moved by the Holy Spirit, God will produce in us the characteristics of "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control".

Whenever we read the Holy Bible, we are encouraged and motivated to live a better life today as compared to yesterday and we are filled with hope for tomorrow.

God's Word protects us from the Evil One by keeping us away from temptations and thus away from sins. His Word is a light for our path and a lamp for our feet.

His Word puts us in the right direction. His Word also heals our wounds and is an awesome inspiration to move on in times of difficulties.
