Close Encounter

The final hours of the week, the evening hours of Saturday, belong to my favorite times of every week... Reflecting upon the upcoming Sunday Liturgy of the Word day by day throughout the week, bring the culmination of this intense encounter with the Living Word of God to the finale at this time of the week... everything taken care of, being alone and withdrawn from the daily chores, I can face God closely in His Word... I love this encounter and always look forward to this moment... for me the Sunday liturgy is not only a sacred meeting with Christ in Eucharist, but first in His Word, proclaimed in the midst of the community of the faithful. Thank You, Lord, that You continue to speak to us day by day and Your Word cleanses us, fortifies us, enlightens us, nourishes and strengthen us...
