Daily Thoughts - The dark night
"A man whose path is hidden from him, one whom God has hemmed in!" Job 3:23
Listen to the plight of Job, a life without the consolation of God. The darkness seems overwhelming, yet in this darkness he calls out to Him. No answer is given but it is heard, his path lays ahead and he stumbles in the darkness.
The spiritual journey begins with exuberance, joy and anticipation but there comes a point when all seems bleak and empty. Nothing grabs the senses, nothing entices, other than vices which plunges us deeper into the pit. Yet in the darkness, the poor in spirit cry out with an inner peace.
The desolate road is one we must all travel as did Jesus. In these moments in our life, the blind are being guided to eternity, the place of eternal happiness. This is the narrow way, at least what God is revealing in the darkness.
Dear Father, this road doesn't satisfy the soul or at least it seems that way, It is foreign to the flesh. On our plight, You hear the cry and You respond otherwise we wouldn't call out to nothingness. Prayers for those on this journey that are unaware of where they are at. Reveal their path to them and help them find that inner strength from above. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, Pray for us.
Saint Joesph, Pray for us.
Saint Vincent DePaul, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
