Psalm 12

Psalm 12 
Psalms for Praying 
  

"For the hearts of those who call to Me, 
For those who cry out for wholeness,
I shall now make Myself known,"
says the Beloved.

The promises of Love are pure,
like silver refined in a crucible,
like gold purified seven times.
Be our safeguard, O Blessed One, 
Stay close by throughout these dark days
where unloving hearts seem to abound. 
Come to our aid, O Beloved! 


  
  
   
So much of the violence we are seeing in communities is rooted in loneliness and fear.  Today, I will have lunch with a friend.  I am grateful.  May all of creation savor a peaceful meal today. Only when bread is broken can the hunger of the world be fed.  The cup must be poured before thirst can be quenched.  This is something that Jesus knew.  Wholeness can be known only in the giving it away.
