“Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are clean cut off. ’ . . . . . . . . . . . . Thus says the Lord GOD: Behold, I will open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you home into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, . . . . . . . . . . . .”
Excerpt, First Reading, Friday 23rd August 2024 – EZEKIEL 37:1-14.
So, my dear friend, what is that issue that has weighed us down very mush so that we tend to have given up on life and resigned ourselves to fate? God promises today that He will open up such graves and bring us out.
Those of us that have hit the rock bottom and are presently languishing in the abyss, we have our assurance today. God assures us of bringing us home.
To those of us that have exhausted all available options and are contemplating the unimaginable, we have our assurance from today’s teaching. God says He shall put His spirit within us and we shall live.
The Almighty God says what ever may be the graves that are holding us down, He is going to tear them apart and destroy all such graves and bring us to new life.
However, all what He requires of us is just for each one of us to love our neighbour just the way we love ourselves.
Folks, have a fantastic day and a pleasant weekend.
