Word for Wednesday August 21.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul. He guides me in right paths for his namesake. Even though I walk in the dark valley, I fear no evil, for you are at my side.” Psalm 23:1-4. St. John Chrysostom said, “Thus abide constantly with the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ so that the heart swallows the Lord and the Lord the heart and the two become one.

Let us pray, My God, You are the homeland for our heart. You Yourself are the way of peace, the grounding of life that we seek, the narrow way that revives our souls. Be merciful Lord and grant us true life in You. Hem in our way, so we can find no other god but You, the living God. In You we find true freedom. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
