I arise today

After a day where everyone seem to be struggling with something ...maybe just the storm and the rain ... I got challenged to think through these lines from St Patrick

I arise today
 
Through the strength of Christ's birth, with His baptism,

Because of Jesus each day we are lifted up with the presence, comfort, wisdom, and love of the Holy Spirit whether we feel it or not.

Through the strength of His crucifixion, with His burial,

Each day we know that there is noting we will experience from each other, or do, that Jesus is not able to heal, forgive and transform though His death on the Cross

Through the strength of His resurrection, with His ascension,

Each day we know that Jesus has written, overcome death, and sits on our behalf in the presence of God the Father, interceding for us

Through the strength of His descent for the judgment of Doom.

Each day we know that there is nothing that death, or the evil one can through at us that Jesus has not overcome, or is not able to handle.

May today be lighter, and your sorrow turn to joy...
