“Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call; have pity on me, and answer me. Of you my heart speaks; you my glance seeks.
Your presence, O Lord, I seek. Hide not your face from me; do not in anger repel your servant. You are my helper: cast me not off.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27
We have experienced many tragedies in our world, in our country, in our community, and in our Church. Our world has been shaken by the massacre of innocent Muslims in New Zealand. Our country continues to experience natural disasters. Communities in my home State have witnessed shocking violent crimes. And the Church still struggles with the effects of the clergy sexual abuse scandal.
And we speak out, where is God in all this? We seek the Lord to come to our aid; to give us comfort. The truth is that he is always with us. He is present in ones who give us help and comfort. He speaks through those who speak up for the poor and forgotten. And we feel his Presence, when we are still, and listen for his voice.
Musings From St. Anthony's Walnut Tree 
Thank you. I always value your blog and your thoughts.During Lent a time for deep reflections. For your interest http://www.sacredmusings.com (THE BIG PICTURE). if you would like to check it out you will see my spiritual journey since 9/11 and how God spoke to me then. He also spoke to me about WHO He is in 2004 after tsnaumi with loss of 200,000 lives.. This is a visionary journey. This is not a denominational God but a Christ who died that all may come to the CROSS God of deliverance. .
