“St Francis Rejecting the World
and Embracing Christ”. |
3: For
reasons that they should have loved me, they have dragged me down, but I kept on
praying.
4: O
my Holy Father, King of Heaven and Earth, do not let your help be far from me,
for trouble is very near to me, and there is no one to help me.
Comment
In the
face of betrayal and abandonment by those the psalmist trusted, the faith is not
lost nor left. In words rich in regal imagery, which to our eyes may seem
out-dated, the appeal is made to God. Seeking the comfort and assurance
they know comes from the almighty.
Reflection
In our
lives we have had times like this. When all seems lost through betrayal.
What did you do then, turn towards, or away from God?
