"Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded." (Psalm 34:6)

Meditation: "During prayers of thanksgiving, I asked the Good God to address my concerns. Jesus answered my prayer in a way that completely fulfilled my hope, for 'those who turn toward him will be enlightened.' And 'light overcame the darkness for those who have an upright heart.' The first response was addressed to me and the second to my companions."†

"The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them." (Psalm 34:7)

Meditation: Thank you, Guardian Angel, for watching over me all these years.

"The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles." (Psalm 34:17)

Meditation: Thank you, Father, for the countless times you have rescued me from trouble.

Prayer 7

Madonna in Glory¹

Come, O Creator Spirit blest!
And in our souls take up Thy rest
Come, with Thy grace and heavenly aid,
To fill the hearts which Thou hast made.

Kindle our senses from above,
And make our hearts o'erflow with love
With patience firm, and virtue high,
The weakness of our flesh supply.

<sup>Amen.13
