Today's Readings
For the next two days of Holy Week we encourage you to do your own reflecting. Today's first reading from the Book of Isaiah gives us a great prompt for reflection. We read:
The LORD called me from birth,
from my mother's womb he gave me my name.
He made of me a sharp-edged sword
and concealed me in the shadow of his arm.
He made me a polished arrow,
in his quiver he hid me.
You are my servant, he said to me,
Israel, through whom I show my glory. (Isaiah 49:1-3)
In this passage Isaiah describes his calling from God. Isaiah says he was God's sword, ready for battle. He was also God's arrow, willing to be aimed anywhere. Finally, he was God's servant, through whom God would show His glory. How is God showing His glory through you as Easter approaches?
