In this edition of Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart examine Proverbs 30:5–6 and one of Scripture's strongest declarations about the reliability of God's Word. “Every word of God is pure.” His Word has been tested like precious metal in the fire and found without impurity. Because God has spoken, we can trust Him completely and take refuge under His protection. Agur then gives a serious warning: “Add thou not unto his words.” When we add human traditions, doctrines, or opinions and attribute them to God, we are no longer explaining His Word; we risk misrepresenting the One who spoke it. God's Word does not need improvement. It needs to be believed, obeyed, and faithfully proclaimed.

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as he discusses The Bible and how the Word of God is a person which The Bible is an earthy view of. Today Father Koys opens with St Jerome whose feast day is today, before going into the nature of the Bible and how Catholics and Protestants differ in our approach to scripture. He further offers historical insight into this topic discussing a story of a mission of St Isaac Jouges in upstate New York and later compares the new Act of Contrition with the older form some may remember.

Howdy my friend, abundant blessings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen. Here is

Good morning! Happy Wednesday... (smiling)! This here is

Delivered by May Ann Rodrigo from Saint Peter's School Kelapa Gading, Jakarta Utara, in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Isaiah 66: 10-14b; Rs psalm 131: 1.2.3; Matthew 18: 1-5.GOD IS PLEASED WITH THE LITTLE ONES The theme for our meditation today is: God is Pleasedwith the Little Ones. At the moment when she was about to pass away as a24-year-old contemplative Carmelite nun, Saint Therese uttered her last wordsthat went like this: "My Lord, I love You!" This expression of prayeronce was repeated so fervently by the children and young people in one ofremotest parishes, who were having a full year faith formation program. Inone of those occasions when the Bishop of that diocese was also present, achild approached the Bishop and asked in this way: "What is the bestprayer for children when they like to pray?" The Bishop replied: "Follow the example of SaintTherese of the Child Jesus who always prayed in these words, 'O my Lord, I loveYou'. The Bishop asked the children to repeat this prayer every day, apart fromsaying common prayers such as "Our Father" and "Hail Mary".The children were delighted and satisfied by this brief and very touchingprayer. When children want to repay kindness and care they have received fromtheir parents, teachers and anyone else, they usually say the word "thankyou" and there might be no more additional explanation to it. If anexplanation is needed, it would be appropriate for them to simply say: "Ilove You". Today Saint Theresa teaches us to love God in the sameway the children do, namely with simplicity and with the reality of our dailylives. Christian spirituality shown in the life of children, emphasizes thespirit of dependence on God and living in gratitude. The scriptures show howthe Lord provides a very important place for those whom He chooses, namelychildren and young people. Our today's readings indicate that people who areinsignificant and smallest according to human view, will be the greatest in theKingdom of Heaven because it is according to the will of God. God's will is fulfilled when we heed His invitationthat we need to fight our human pride. This is the capital sin that move peopleto always look for position, power, wealth, and fame. God is so pleased with thelittle ones and are abandoned in order to humiliate those who always think ofthemselves better and holier than others. One of the ways to overcome our prideis to follow the way that the Prophet Job had, especially when he faced all theadversities in his life. In that situation, he still believed and depended onGod. This is really the attitude of a child, because he only knows that God isthe ruler of life. Job's strong faith was expressed in this way: "It isGod who gives, it is God who takes away, praise the name of God." Thewords of this prayer are the same as the prayer we have just mentioned earlier:"O my Lord, I love You." Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O most loving God, may our lives todaydepend solely on Your providence and increase in us the sense of gratitude.Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name ofthe Father ...

Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. Job 9: 1-12.14-16; Rs psalm 88: 10bc-11.12-13.14-15; Luke 9: 57-62.PLACE OF HONOR The theme for our meditation today is: Place of Honor.Today our Church celebrates the memorial of Saint Jerome. He studied law andtheology in Rome. After his conversion to Christianity and got baptized, hethen chose to embrace asceticism. In this way of life, as his focus ofattention was to study and meditation on the wisdom of God, he chose toconcentrate on studying the scriptures in the Syrian desert, a particularregion in the Middle East. For this special way of life, Pope Damasus I thenentrusted to him the work to translate the sacred scriptures from theiroriginal language into Latin, the bible version which is known to us asvulgata. He is known in the Church as an extraordinary bible scholar. Hiswell-known expression which is very familiar to all Christians that goes likethis: knowing the scriptures means knowing Jesus Christ. Not knowing thescriptures means not knowing Jesus Christ. Starting from this profound statement of Saint Jeromethat says about one who knows the scriptures knows Jesus Christ, we are quiteaware that we are in agreement with this simple question: How can people knowthe holy bible? Or a similar question would be: What can we know from thescriptures? Our common answer would be our willingness to know more on thecontents of the scriptures, and for that reason we can know more about the LordJesus Christ. This is a commitment and challenge as well for all of us. It is our common understanding that as long as wealways read, hear, meditate, and practice what are being taught from thescriptures, we actually experience the true person of Jesus Christ. Ourreadings today reveal to us one element in the teachings of Jesus. He teachesus about the place of honor in His Kingdom. The place of honor is provided forpeople who are entitled and worthy to occupy it. Who are they? When you are invited by someone as his guest of honor,you will be offered to sit in a special place, for example, right next to thehost who invites you. This is how the Lord prepares a place right next to Him,in the kingdom of heaven for those chosen. There are many conditions proposedby Jesus so that His followers can up to the standard as the chosen ones andhave rights to sit together with Him. One of the important conditions is what Jesus shows ustoday. He calls upon those who willingly and freely want to follow him by meansof abandoning their personal interests. It is sufficient for a person to makethe choice of his wholeheartedly. The prophet Job's advice for us, as he saysin this way: even though we are granted a place of honor in God, we remain obeyHis will, and never follow our own will. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O merciful Father, May your words todaymake us even more humble and sincere, and for this we are so grateful to Youand we promise our full obedience to You. Hail Mary, full of grace ... In nameof the Father ...
