Friday – 13th Week of Ordinary Time B
The importance of seeking the life-giving word of the Lord is the theme of our readings today. In the first reading from Amos, we hear God warning of a coming famine, not of bread or water, but of hearing the word of the Lord. This is a powerful warning for us today, as we often get caught up in our busy lives and neglect to listen to God's word and the many ways he desires to communicate it to us.
