Friday – 20th Week of Ordinary Time B
Today’s readings offer profound insights into the nature of the soul and its integral role within the body and our entire human experience. In Ezekiel 37:1-14, we encounter a vivid vision of the valley of dry bones. This dramatic imagery clearly and starkly illustrates the reality of desolation and hopelessness. Yet, it also serves as a testament to the hope we find in God’s promise of resurrection and revitalization. Jesus distills the essence of our faith in the Gospel of Matthew (22:34-40), where He emphasizes the love of God and neighbor, touching upon our soul’s deepest capacity for relationship and connection.
