Back to follow the dialogues between Job and his friends with The Book of Job: This Sunday we read and meditate on the twenty-sixth chapter, which shows us the Omnipotence and Wisdom the Creator through the wise words of the protagonist of this book and that is Job
26
1Giobbe said
2Quanto help you have given to weak
and how did you rescue the arm without power!
3Quanti good advice you gave ignorant
and how much abundance you have shown the wisdom!
4A Who have you turned the word
and what is the spirit that you came out?
5I dead tremble beneath the earth,
as well as water and their inhabitants.
6Nuda is the grave in front of him
and without a veil is the abyss.
7Egli stretches out the north over the void,
hangs the earth upon nothing.
8Rinchiude waters in the clouds,
not pierce the clouds and under their own weight.
9Copre the sight of his throne
its cloud spread over it.
10ha drew a circle on the water,
to the border between light and darkness.
11 The pillars of heaven shake,
are taken by surprise with its threat.
12THE force stirs the sea
and intelligently doma Raab.
13Al his breath the skies will brighten,
stabs his hand crooked serpent.
14Ecco, these are only the margins of his works;
how quiet is the whisper we hear of him!
But the thunder of his power who can understand?
COMMENT
Truly the Lord has given as aid to the weak. When the man lifts his heart to his God and Creator and calls for help, will not fail the help of the Father. Trusting in God, believe that He hears us and will help us, have faith. Faith, a very important and necessary in the way of every man. Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew tells us: Verily I say unto you if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there, and it will move, and nothing will be impossible (17:20). The Lord loves the weak and miserable, he comes to their aid and support a just cause. Manifest to the humble wisdom, dispenses advice to the ignorant. Job know this much to exclaim the opening words of ch. XXVI in response to his friend Bildad. The items that Job is followed to cross the line drawn from the innate Bildad and that is the exaltation of the Creator for whom nothing is impossible, nothing's hard and nothing can hurt him. To his breath , Job says, the heavens find rest, as we also reassures us before His Word. How many times in distress, opening the Bible or the Gospel, we find comfort in God's Word? This is because there is life in His words; or I am the Way, the Truth and the Life (Jn 14:6), there is truth because they know what it is, are the way that lead us salvation
contemplate the power of the Lord must be part of our retreats. Job contemplation and contemplation test in this wonder before the greatness of God through the great things he created. Look at the immensity of the sky, the vast boundaries of the oceans, scan the vast distances between stars and the other, helps us to learn gradually, without interrupting the infinite greatness of the Creator. God is infinite and eternal and eternity is not enough to know Him. Blessed are you who are hungry now , saith the Lord, ye shall be filled : God is infinite soul food and the soul never dies of hunger in He ever be satisfied because there will always be food. Already here on earth we started this journey: when we contemplate the Lord hear our soul nutristi of warmth and gentle light, and this path, if we want it, will be eternal, and even beyond this life, if we have persevered in ways of love, we will live the greatest joys.
Next Sunday we will read the rest of Job's response.
