“I will rescue them from every place.”
•
Though we might not always hear it, when we come before the Lord – at Mass, in the Sacraments, or even in genuine relationship with each other – the Lord tells us: “I will rescue them from every place.”
•
I’ll say at Mass or in prayer: “The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I shall want.”
•
Then, as soon as I leave church or put my Rosary away, I’ll find myself going as far away from the Lord as possible – down every pathway, up every creek and through every wall. My prayer life snuffed out like a wick, a soul unsurprisingly heavy with what I can’t seem to drop and weary of looking for what I can’t seem to find.
•
And then I – we – can still hear His voice that will always tell us: “The lost I will seek out, the strayed I will bring back, the injured I will bind up, the sick I will heal” and “I myself will give them rest.”
