The reading today was from Deuteronomy, Chapter 7 verses 6-8. In this reading God is reminding the people that He has chosen them, not because of anything special about them, but because He loves them.
Before doing this particular reading, I went through the Magnificat prayer for today. The opening hymn was so beautiful and I connected with it, that I began to cry.
Well I know your trouble,
O my servant true;
You are very weary –
I was weary too.
But that toil shall make you
Some day all my own
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near my throne.
Sometimes I am so weary, weary of what is happening in the world, weary of being without my sisters, weary of all the problems – though in my life, my problems seem minimal. How can I be weary?
