Saint Cecilia, Virgin, Martyr
Wednesday of week 33 in Ordinary Time
First reading – Hosea 2:16,17,21-22
In this reading we can find how is the relationship of the Lord with the person who wants to totally entrust oneself to the Lord. The Lord leads that person out from all the disturbances into the silence of the wilderness so that He can speak to the heart. He wants to make a relationship with that person for ever. A relationship with integrity and justice, with tenderness and love. This relationship of the Lord with us is total. There is nothing withheld from us. He gives completely to us. And the justice of the Lord is the justice with mercy and with compassion. He sees our defects and weaknesses but still He love us. In this love there comes together integrity and justice. Moreover, He loves us with tenderness and love. Tenderness to heal our wounds and love to enhance the grace in us. Let’s reflect: How much I want a deep personal relationship with the Lord?
