“Thus says the Lord: Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and be glad in my people,” Isaiah 65:17-19. Pope Francis said, “We need to think of ourselves as an army of the forgiven. All of us have been looked upon with divine compassion.” Let us pray, Father, we celebrate with You the new that You are creating in us every day. We surrender the shameful past; to adopt the glorious new heavens and new earth that You are creating for us. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
