O God, you are my God, I seek you,
my soul thirsts for you;
my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. -- Ps. 63:1

Thus says the Lord:
Maintain justice, and do what is right,
for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed.
Happy is the mortal who does this,
the one who holds fast, who keeps the sabbath,
not profaning it, and refrains from doing evil. -- Is. 56:1-2

Bear one another's burdens, and in this way you fulfill the law of Christ . . . Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for you reap what you sow. . . So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.  So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith. --- Gal. 6:2, 7, 9.


In the meantime, I encourage you, dear reader, to hold fast to what is good, honoring that thirst within for justice, for we yearn for a gentler world which will only be gentler if we ourselves act as angels of mercy.  Maintain justice, and do what is right; honor the Lord every day of your lives.  In so far as it is possible, bear the burden of the other until at last we arrive at the finish line together. 

May you have a blessed Saturday and weekend.

Love,
Nora
