Our Lord offers His Spirit, His Life, His Word of eternal life (John 6:63,68).

Moses long before observed that the Law of the Lord, written in the book of the Law, was to turn to the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul (Deuteronomy 30:10-14).
This is not too hard for us to observe, it is not too far for us to reach.
We need no one to come down from heaven to bring it to us (again, Romans 10:5-17).
We need no one to cross the sea to bring it to us (again, Romans 10:18-21).

‘The Word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart for you to observe’ (Deuteronomy 30:14).

Natural Law is written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33; Romans 2:14-15; Catechism of the Catholic Church §1954).

The world may have snatched away the Word of the Lord that was sown in our heart (Matthew 13:19).

The world may weary or wage war on our soul (1 Peter 2:11).
We might find our soul laid up, at the very time our soul is required of us, for service for God and neighbour (Luke 12:19-20).

We might be so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despair of life itself (2 Corinthians 1:8).

We might not be setting our mind on the things of God, but on worldly things (Matthew 16:23). These might be hostile to the Law of the Lord, rather than open to the Spirit of life and peace (Romans 8:6).

Our hearts might be dulled, our eyes might be closed, our ears might barely hear the Word of our Lord, even as the Word of the Lord would heal us (Matthew 13:15).

‘Seek God in your need, and let your hearts revive’ (Psalm 69:33).
