Reflection |

Today -  

Chapter 56 - Maintain justice and do what is right!
This is your source of happiness. For everyone.
Israel - corrupt rulers

Chapter 57 - Israel - idolatry (why do you desert God?)
God will help and heal.

Chapter 58 - Keep the faith and don’t trample on it.

Chapter 59 - Injustice and oppression will be punished.
God does remember the Promised of salvation.

Chapter 60 - Those that are dispersed will be reunited
as one under God. Justice will rule and Zion will be glorified.

Chapter 61 - The deliverance has come! Liberty and freedom!
I love God and justice and faith (one of the greatest sections of
Scriptures declaring deliverance!) I am clothed with the garments
of salvation!

Chapter 62 - Zion is vindicated and saved. Proclaim salvation has
come. 

Chapter 63 - Edom is bad; I will remember the mercy of God!
Prayer for penitence.

Chapter 64 - God came down from heaven and we fade like a leaf.

Chapter 65 - God will honor his servants; they will be blessed.
See the new creation.

Chapter 66 - They worship but do not hear God; God rules;
I will make a new heaven and earth

A Prayer Attributed to St. Francis

Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that we may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love. 

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
