Let us strive to know the Lord

“Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD; as certain as the dawn is his coming, and his judgment shines forth like the light of day! He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth.” (HOS 6: 3)

“To know the Lord” is only possible because He revealed Himself and His love to us: “He will come to us like the rain,” and His coming is “as certain as the dawn.” The more we know Him, the more we expect His coming; the more we expect His coming, the more our hearts are open to receive all His graces.

“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.” (Gospel Acclamation)
