Personal Guidance
Mother earth herself worships the Lord in His boar form, who rescued her. Even the planet under our feet bows to the One who saved her. Pay attention: gratitude is the natural posture of the saved.
Reflection Questions
- What rescues in my life remain unacknowledged?
- Whom or what should I bow to today in gratitude for saving me at some past moment?
