Be doers of the word

“Humbly welcome the word that has been planted in you and is able to save your souls. Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.” (JAS 1: 21-22)

“The word that has been planted in us” came “to save your souls.” To save our souls it needs our cooperation. “Be doers of the word and not hearers only” means to listen to it and to find ways to incorporate it in our daily lives.

“The Father willed to give us birth by the word of truth that we may be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.” (Gospel Acclamation)
