Alleluia.
The word of the Lord is living and active discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Alleluia.
The Word of God does more than speak to our ears; it reaches into the hidden places of the heart. It exposes what is false, strengthens what is good, and brings to light the motives behind our choices.
When we truly listen to Scripture, we do not simply judge whether its message suits us. We allow the Word to judge and transform us. God knows the intentions that others cannot see, the struggles, desires, wounds and hopes we carry within.
This Alleluia invites us to approach the Gospel with an open heart, ready not merely to hear Christ, but to be changed by Him. May His living Word reveal what needs healing within us and lead us ever more faithfully along the path of truth and holiness.
