Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD:
I will sing to the LORD, for he is gloriously triumphant;
horse and chariot he has cast into the sea. (Exodus 15:1 NABRE)
I remember an iconic image from my childhood. It is of Superman flying while holding Lois Lane in his arms and her desperately clinging to him. At first she is terrified, and then gradually she comes to understand that he will keep her safe. Icons represent aspects of life worth remembering. They are symbols and carry meaning and are often used to represent some truth or to remind us of something or someone.
We should always remember that the Lord protects us from our spiritual enemy, the one who seeks the ruin of our souls. Regardless of the difficulties this life thrusts upon us, we should always remember to turn to the Lord, that he defeats our enemies, and in fact he has already won the battle! There is evil in the world. We should always look to the Lord who is glorious and triumphs over it.
Today, I will sing this song to the Lord and remember his greatness.
Saint Lawrence of Brindisi, who had a constant devotion to Scripture and a great sensitivity to the needs of people, pray for us.
