Friday of the 3rd Week of Lent

Hosea 14:2-10

Mark 12:28-34

   
Scripture
"Return, O Israel, to the Lord, your God . . . Take with you words, and return to the Lord . . . Say to the Lord, 'Forgive all iniquity . . .' "

"One of the scribes . . . saw how well Jesus had answered them . . . (and after Jesus had proclaimed the 'Greatest Commandment') . . . the scribe said to him, 'Well said, teacher' ".

Reflection
…take with you words . . . say to the Lord . . . how well Jesus answered them . . . the scribe said to Jesus . . . Well said, teacher . . .

How blessed we are to use words: to speak, to inquire, to proclaim, to praise, to answer, to comment, to disagree, to discuss, to entertain, to forgive, to share, to teach.

Yahweh, may we take your words with us today. May we treasure them. And, may it be said of us, "Well said, teacher."

Mantra
Well said, Teacher
