Quando a palavra se torna carne em nós

Father Iran Gomes Brito explains that the Word serves as spiritual nourishment rather than just a source of information. Writing for the Diocese of São Luís do Maranhão, he uses the prophet Ezequiel to illustrate how believers must internalize the Word to live it.

Father Brito notes that just as Ezequiel was commanded to eat a scroll, disciples must allow the Word to move from the intellect to the heart and soul. He suggests that the Word provides guidance during difficult times, offering consolation, discernment, and a way to address hidden wounds.
