"She hears no voice,
accepts no correction;
In the Lord she has not trusted,
to her God she has not drawn near." (Zephaniah 3: 1-2 RM)
The Prophet Zephaniah castigates the rebellious and polluted city with woes. The "city" is you and I. Then the prophet painted her ugly character. She is deaf to admonition and rejects every correction. She trusts in princes and flatterers rather than the Lord. As the Lord calls her, she runs further and further from Him.
Do you know anybody like this? This is Advent. A time of repentance and grace. The Lord is waiting today in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. O that today you will hear His voice, harden not your heart. (Psalm 95: 8)
Come O Face of Divine Mercy.
