Thank you, dear God,
our loving Father for this
Season of Advent,
a season of our vindication
in your Son Jesus Christ
our Lord;
what a joy to hear your words
on this Monday of the Second
Week in Advent through the
Prophet Isaiah:
Strengthen the hands that are feeble, make firm the knees that are weak, say to those whose hearts are frightened: Be strong, fear not! Here is your God: he comes with vindication; with divine recompense he comes to save you.
Isaiah 35:3-4
Vindication, O God,
is one word we miss so much
these days, an experience we long for
when finally we are proven right
or true, and most of all, justified;
it is a difficult mission from you,
dear Father, to always walk in your
ways, to follow your will especially
in this world when being true and faithful,
honest and kind, loving and caring
are looked down upon as signs
of weakness;
it is so difficult to be good and holy,
just like those men carrying
that paralytic to enter the room
to get near to Jesus Christ.
Teach us to persevere always,
Lord Jesus like those men,
to never give up on you,
to always find ways even if
we have to climb our way up
just to go down to you
to experience your healing
and mercy.
Most of all, your vindication.
Amen.
