In today's readings, Ezekiel is led by God to a valley of dry bones, symbolizing the lifelessness of Israel. God commands Ezekiel to prophesy, bringing the bones to life with the Spirit of God. The Gospel reinforces the greatest commandments: to love God and love your neighbor.
Reflection:
These passages remind us of God's power to restore life where hope seems lost. Even in our spiritual dryness, God can breathe new life into us.
Application:
When feeling desolate, trust in God's ability to revive your spirit. Embrace love for God and others as the foundation of renewal.
Prayer:
Lord, breathe your Spirit into our weary souls. Revive us with your love, and guide us to love you and our neighbors with all our hearts. Amen.
