- I will write or learn this verse.

-I will repeat this verse several times a day and I will listen to what the Lord tells me therein.

-I can put this verse into practice, if I feel it is right to do so.

-I will fill out the blank thought bubble.

-I can share my experiences (or how I tried to put this word of God into place and what benefits I then received).

Help to understand this verse:

God promises Abraham that he will be the father of many people. Saint Paul, 19 centuries later, says that it is by faith in Christ that men are called to become sons of Abraham and heirs of the promise. Get to work !

Help to understand this verse:

The book of wisdom was written by cultivated Jews who tried to answer in faith the essential questions.

The sage travelled, he discovered several cultures. Meditation is delivered in the form of sentences, poems, moral or symbolic narratives.

In the passion of Christ, we find words similar to this one, spoken by the enemies of Jesus at the foot of the cross.
