I will listen for what God, the LORD, has to say;
surely he will speak of peace
To his people and to his faithful.
May they not turn to foolishness!
Near indeed is his salvation for those who fear him;
glory will dwell in our land. (Psalm 85:9-10 NABRE)
Psalm 85 ia a national lament reminding God of past favors and forgiveness and begging for forgiveness and grace now.* As we approach our own national elections, may we pray constantly for our current leaders who are headed toward transition, the candidates for office, and all those to whom the awesome responsibility of serving and protecting others has been entrusted.
Today, I will pray the Rosary in support of life from conception to natural death.
Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, Abbot and Doctor of the Church, who tells us, "In dangers, in doubts, in difficulties, think of Mary, call upon Mary," pray for us.
There are just 25 days remaining in this shared prayer journey of ours. Please continue to join your prayers with mine here, for a daily minute of reflection. As Jesus said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20) Though we gather together online, may our joining here reflect our deep desire to have Jesus in our midst.
