Saint Dominic
contemplating the Scriptures
Amos 8:1-12
In the fourth vision of his planned devastation, God threatens to punish the Israelites for fraudulent business practices which particularly affect the poor and needy. There is a word-play on “summer fruit” and “end”: in Hebrew the words sound alike.
Colossians 1:15-28
The Christians of Colossae hear of Christ, in whom the entirety of God resides, who draws all things together, and who is the head of all created-ness.
Luke 10:38-42
In Jesus’ day, to sit at someone’s feet was to be his disciple. Jesus praises Mary’s discipleship. Her role is exemplary but Jesus also values Martha’s role.
