Word for Saturday December 16.

“O Shepard of Israel hearken, from your throne upon the cherubim shine forth. Rouse your power. Once again O Lord of Hosts, look down from heaven and see; take care of this vine, and protect what your right hand has planted.” Psalm 80:1, 14-15. St. Augustine said, “God is not a deceiver, that He should offer to support us, and then, when we lean upon Him, should slip away from us.”

Let us pray, O God in Heaven, look upon us and have mercy. We have division in the Church, Your Church that Christ planted from of old. We are one in Him, yet many have lost their way. Bring new light to those of us who are stumbling, who no longer see our lives are hidden in Christ Jesus. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
