"Ezra opened the scroll so that all the people might see it, for he was standing higher than any of the people. When he opened it, all the people stood. Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God, and all the people, their hands raised high, answered, "Amen, amen!" Then they knelt down and bowed before the LORD, their faces to the ground." Nehemiah 8:5-6
What is God saying to me? Just as My Son Jesus fulfilled the scripture so do you when you follow His instructions. The old is revealed in the new and the new is revealed in the old. My Words are constant and never changing. It is man and man's ways that change the desire of My heart. You may not understand why some kneel and bow down in their worship services, they are following My example that has been laid out in scripture and by the example of My Son. (I read the readings for today which included the Gospel reading Lk 1:1-4; 4:14-21, and the above verse spoke of how I worship God at Sunday Mass)

Dear Father, Your Words come to life as I hear them and read them. You are revealing their beauty a little at a time. I thank You for illuminating my mind when we are engaged together. Thank You for the opportunity and the desire to worship You and receive You into my spirit. You are constantly engaging my senses to perceive what it is I have to comprehend. Bless this day, allow Your Presence to penetrate all the areas of my being so I may better communicate Your will. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Souls, pray for us.
