Promises to Internalize


From Romans 8:

…we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words.

We know that all things work together for good for those who love God…

For I am convinced that neither death, nor life…nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers…nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Much of the world is really going through it right now; everyone is affected in some way.  Watching the news or reading the paper is an exercise in anxiety.  St. Paul has words for the ages.  Look at the tone of his writings in Romans 8 – from his deep personal experience, he emanates peace from his trust in God’s lovingkindness.

That peace is absolutely meant for us as well.
