"Listen to me in silence...For I am the Lord, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. O do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One. "Isaiah 41:1, 14
Begin in silence
Open your heart, My Child,
You are much distressed
"Fear not
I am with you
Do not be dismayed
I am your God
I will strengthen you
I will help you
I will uphold you
With My righteous right hand"
Father I cannot make this journey- I am failing and falling and miserably looking in the mirror of your holiness. "My. child, take My hand, and I will lead you. I am with you, do not be dismayed because I am near. When you are sure you cannot walk in My ways of living and loving selflessly I will be your help. When you are weak I will strengthen you.
Are you weary already with yourself in Lent? There is help.
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"But now thus says the Lord He who created you. O Jacob, He who formed you, O Israel; fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name and your are Mine" Isaiah 43:1
"If we come to the Physician, if we ask Him, He will not hide from us, but will eagerly disclose to us which of these medicines make us whole." John Chrysostom Fourth Century Homily. Medicine heals our bodies and soul medicine brings healing to our souls. Come find the medicine your heart longs for; learn from the Sacred Writings of the early church fathers and from Sacred Scripture and be made whole.

- Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.
