A QUOTE, A TEXT AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
A QUOTE
“Don’t worry about what you do not understand… Worry
about what you do understand in the Bible but do not
live by.”
Corrie Ten Boom
A TEXT
1 My song shall be always of the loving-kindness of the Lord: •
with my mouth will I proclaim your faithfulness
throughout all generations.
2 I will declare that your love is established for ever; •
you have set your faithfulness as firm as the heavens.
3 For you said: ‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one; •
I have sworn an oath to David my servant:
4 ‘ “Your seed will I establish for ever •
and build up your throne for all generations.” ’
19 You spoke once in a vision and said to your faithful people: •
‘I have set a youth above the mighty;
I have raised a young man over the people. Psalm 89
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Like your disciples on the road to Emmaus, we are so often incapable of seeing that you, O Christ, are our companion on the way. But, when our eyes are opened, we realise that you were speaking to us, even though perhaps we had forgotten you. Then the sign of our trust in you is that, in our turn, we try to love, to forgive with you. Independent of our doubts or even our faith, O Christ, you are always there: your love burns in our heart of hearts.
