In this Word of Hope reflection for Monday of the 16th Week in Ordinary Time, Father Jim Marchionda shares the prophet Micah's powerful question: What should we bring before Almighty God? Thousands of sacrifices? Our most precious possessions?
Think of all your prayers, devotions, fasting, and spiritual practices. Then hear what God really requires: "Only to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God." Master that last one, and you will find yourself resting in the very arms of God.
