The Unique Word of God

"Each of us is a word of God spoken only once." – Sister Peg Dolan

Reflecting on Sister Peg Dolan’s profound words, I am reminded of my inherent value and divine purpose. Each of us is crafted with intention, a unique expression of God's love and creativity. Just as a poet carefully selects each word for its significance, God has spoken us into existence, imbuing us with a distinct mission.

We often think of our journey of faith primarily as a path to avoid sin. While living morally is vital, our purpose extends far beyond simply steering clear of wrongdoing. We are invited to partner with Jesus in the grand masterpiece of His creation. This partnership calls us to engage actively in the world, bringing light to the darkness, hope to the despairing, and love to the unlovable.

As we carry on with our daily lives, let us remember that we are not just passive recipients of grace but active participants in His divine narrative. Each interaction we have offers a chance to reflect God’s love, to be that unique word spoken into the world.

Today, take a moment to consider how you can embody your unique expression of God’s love. What are the ways you can partner with Jesus? Whether it’s through acts of kindness, service, or simply being present for someone in need, remember that you are a vital part of His mission.

Lord, let us embrace our identity as a word of God, spoken uniquely and purposefully, and live out that calling each day. Amen.
