it shall not return to me void

“Just as from the heavens the rain and snow come down and do not return there till they have watered the earth, making it fertile and fruitful, giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats, so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but shall do my will, achieving the end for which I sent it.” (Is 55: 10-11)

A powerful word “that goes forth from Our God’s mouth” comes to us with a message, comes to do His will. His will is: “giving seed to the one who sows and bread to the one who eats”; generally speaking—He takes care of us in every aspect of our lives. His word brings joy, peace, respect and love. And He makes it “fertile and fruitful.”

“One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” (Gospel Acclamation)
