Blessed be God who did not reject my prayer * nor withhold his love from me.

“For the Lord consoles his people
and takes pity on those who are afflicted.”
…

another morning
where promises are recalled
hopes encouraged
and here we are

in that refining fire

it is not unjust
to hope
that God will make good
on those promises
our forebears
trusted
and handed on to us.
