Copy of Psalm Book PDF

But those who have shunned You - who cling to the darkness while infinite joy is offered them - will suffer the harshness of the dark lands, shadowed by Your turning away.

One with Christ, we are patient in our afflictions, awaiting the day when the last enemy falls, sorrow flees away, and we look with fresh eyes on a world made new.

You are the night watchman of Your blood-bought children; the shepherd of Your flock. Savior of the afflicted, the scorned, the forgotten.

All who walk in death worship death, become death, suffer death.

In the end, only the ransomed will remain; children at the feast of God - the humble exalted; the proud humbled; the King of New Creation glorified. Amen and Amen.

We are burdened, but not crushed; struck down, but not destroyed.

These momentary sufferings prepare us for glory.
