What is God teachning me here ?

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal says: ‘When the sacred scriptures are read in the Church, God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in his word, proclaims the Gospel.’ The Scripture readings at Mass are an interaction between God and us. So, our listening is much more than just paying attention. It’s a two-way act of communication – a dialogue – between ourselves and God, a conversation that is not authentic unless we actively engage in it. As disciples, we are students and not just followers. So, our challenge is to seriously try to understand the mind and heart of God, so that we can know him ourselves, and make him known to the world. In every reading, God is saying something to us because we are part of his family. So, a great question to ask is: what is God teaching me here? About himself? About us, as his people? About how we live?
