In your mouth and in your hearts

“No, it is something very near to you, already in your mouths and in your hearts; you have only to carry it out.” (DT 30: 14)

Again and again God reminds us how important His word is for us. When “in our mouths,” we can memorize it and recite it, and when “in our hearts,” we can internalize it and appropriate it. When we invite into our mouths and hearts God’s words, which are “Spirit and life,” we can discover better the beauty of His love.

“Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life; you have the words of everlasting life.” (Gospel Acclamation)
