A Morning Prayer
"I shall thank you, O Lord, Most Holy Father,
King of heaven and earth, because you have consoled me (cf. Is 12:1)
He is the God of my salvation:
I shall have faith and not be afraid (Is 12:2)
Yahweh is my strength and my song,
he has been my Savior (Ps 118:14).
Your right hand, Yahweh, shatters your foes,
and by your great majesty you fell your assailants (Ex 15:6-7)." --St. Francis, Office of the Passion
The ways God has consoled me? Through a stranger's smile as I pass them on the street....a sweet note from someone I know.....a bird song that breaks the silence outside my window......a book on a sale table that speaks to my heartache.....a soft wind that suddenly comes up and blows gently across my cheek....my cat wants to sit on my lap or my dog comes and sits by my feet....
