Yom Yom
The Hebrew phrase yom yom means "day by day" and nicely reflects the purpose of our daily reading of the Bible and prayer that God will guide our steps in the ways of purity, justice, love and wisdom, and thus enable us to be "salt and light" in this world.

Jesus Heals a Demon-possessed Boy, 17:14-23
14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him, 15 and said, ¡°Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and he suffers terribly; he often falls into the fire and often into the water. 16 And I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.¡± 17 Jesus answered, ¡°You faithless and perverse generation, how much longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.¡± 18 And Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of him, and the boy was cured instantly. 19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, ¡°Why could we not cast it out?¡± 20 He said to them, ¡°Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ¡®Move from here to there,¡¯ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.¡± 22 As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them, ¡°The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands, 23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised.¡± And they were greatly distressed. (Matthew 17:14¨C23 NRSV)
