Consoling truths

"The LORD is my light and my salvation;

whom should I fear?

The LORD is my life's refuge;

of whom should I be afraid?

 

One thing I ask of the LORD

this I seek:

To dwell in the house of the LORD

all the days of my life,

That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD

and contemplate his temple.

 

I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD

in the land of the living.

Wait for the LORD with courage;

be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD"

Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14

Two consoling truths from the Responsorial Psalm of today:

"Fear is useless; what is needed is trust." (Luke 8: 50; Mark 5: 36)

"Wait for the Lord with courage." (Psalm 27: 14)
