Short Intro
Lord, Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Ps 119:105)
Before I embark on the journey with the Word of God I want to say
that for every Christian it is very important to read the Bible. It
is not enough to hear it proclaimed during Mass or other
celebrations, then go home and forget it. The Word has to become our
spiritual food, to nourish our faith and our lives. It would prove
beneficial if I could find some time to read the Bible daily and to
meditate on the Word, to see how it can influence my life, my
behaviour.
What I intend to do is to share with you my thoughts and ideas on
the Word and precisely in the aspect of how it concerns me, how it
can change, or improve my life. The Bible is like a long letter
written by God to His children (to me) to show them His immense
love, to encourage them, to strengthen them and to shed light on
their paths, so that they can clearly see where they are going.
That's why the Word also 'rebukes' me, when I stray from the right
path and shows me the way I should go. If we say we are "pilgrims"
here on earth and are journeying to our heavenly homeland, it is
important that we have a map, a set of directions, so that we shall
not get lost.
