Truth Stumbles in the Public Square

"Lo, the hand of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.  Rather it is your sins that make him hide his face so that he will not hear you...

"That is why right is far from us and justice does not reach us.  We look for light, and lo, darkness; for brightness, but we walk in gloom...

"Right is repelled, justice stands far off; For truth stumbles in the public square, uprightness cannot enter."
--all from Isaiah chapter 59.

The pharisees responded to Pilate "We have no king but Caesar."  America was founded as a republic, refusing to be led by an earthly king.  More room for the King of Kings to be our ruler.  Somewhere along the line, our refrain has changed to "I have no king but myself."--a far cry from "To Jesus Christ our sovereign King!"  Yet the truth remains, He is our King.  Whether acknowledged or not, He is King.  Pray for our nation, that we return to the truth and proclaim Him King -- in the public square.

Novena to the Holy Spirit

"Wait for the promise of the Father...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you." Acts 1:5,6

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created, and you shall renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray.

O, God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant that by the same Holy Spirit we may be truly wise and ever enjoy His consolations. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
