Whatever our personal problems, whatever America’s gathering darkness, whatever the doomsday pimps purvey, never forget these words of the prophet Isaiah and of St. Paul.
Isaiah 12:2-3
God indeed is my savior;
I am confident and unafraid.
My strength and my courage is the LORD,
and he has been my savior.
With joy you will draw water
at the fountain of salvation.
Philippians 4:4-7
Brothers and sisters:
Rejoice in the Lord always.
I shall say it again: rejoice!
Your kindness should be known to all.
The Lord is near.
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
make your requests known to God.
Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
May the peace and joy and love of Jesus Christ our Lord be with you!
