Dear Friend in the Lord,
God’s Word – Security: In today’s Gospel, Jesus proclaims to His disciples that everyone who “listens and acts on His Word” is building a faith on a rock foundation that will withstand floods; and not on soil that will collapse. Ponder on, “Our greatest security in our lives is our faith in God which no person and nothing in this world can give.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Luke 6:47-49
Jesus said to his disciples: ‘Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and acts on them – I will show you what he is like. He is like the man who, when he built a house, dug, and dug deep, and laid the foundations on rock; when the river was in flood it bore down on that house but could not shake it, it was so well built. But the man who listens and does nothing is like the man who built a house on soil, with no foundations; as soon as the river bore down on it, it collapsed; and what a ruin that house became!’
