2 Corinthians 9:6-10 | Psalm 111:1-2,5-9 | John 12:24-26
Do not forget: thin sowing means thin reaping; the more you sow, the more you reap. (2 Corinthians 9:6)
Indeed, in writing daily about the Word of God, I’ve reaped quite a few benefits in turn, including but not limited to:
- a calming end to each day, no matter what transpired in the earlier hours,
- a mental anchor to ground me when life throws one curveball after another,
- an hour or so to recollect all my transgressions, and to formulate a plan to avoid them in future.
Of course, I hope it also benefits at least one other person than myself. If you’re that person, I look forward to hearing from you in the comment section below.
And in homage to today’s Gospel:
Amen.
