Our Lives Are Borne Along On The Unending Stream Of Divine Love

 "Compassionate and gracious is YAHWEH, slow to anger and abounding in love.
YAHWEH is good to everyone; HIS mercy embraces all HIS creation.
YOUR reign is from age to age; YOUR dominion endures, from generation to generation.
YAHWEH is true to HIS promises and lets HIS mercy show in all HE does.
YAHWEH lifts up those who are falling and raises those who are beaten down.
Righteous is YAHWEH in all HIS ways, HIS mercy shows in all HIS deeds.
HE is near those who call on HIM, who call trustfully upon HIS name."
- Psalm 145:8-9. 13-14. 17-18


(When we reflect on what GOD has done for us, we remember that this is what GOD has always done, our lives are borne along on the unending stream of divine love.  To the eternal GOD, eternal praise be given.

The central place of the 'reign of GOD' unites this psalm with the core of the preaching of JESUS 'the Kingdom of GOD' [cf. Mark 1:13-14] which must continue to grow in our society.  That is why, it is necessary to pray with this psalm while we pray: 'YOUR kingdom come.')
