The main part of the text set for reading and meditation is, as follows, Matthew 7:24-27 (NLT): “Anyone who listens to my (Jesus)teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the flood waters rise and the winds beat against that [...]
