When I began on a conversion journey in my Catholic faith seven years ago; I began feeling Jesus' presence in nature more. The dawn breaking upon us to me is a reminder of Jesus' presence and it dispels Satan's darkness and helps us live more in the light of Christ, through the Holy Spirit.

Eternity is but a day. Yesterday, tomorrow, last year, next week - It's all the same: just one long blessed day that never ends. The "dawn breaking from on high" is such a powerful reminder that there is always sunshine after rain, and to never give up hope, even in our darkest hour. The future is now. Eternity is but a day.

The “dawn breaking from on high” is such a powerful reminder that there is always sunshine after rain, and to never give up hope, even in our darkest hour.

So it's the tender compassion itself which is looked upon as a future event, grammatically. In my feeling, this gives a certain distance. It's not very personal.

I love singing The Canticle of Zechariah. It reminds me that I too am called to be the prophet of The Most High, every day. We all are! I try to do this by example. I am so glad that God has faith in me that I can do this. On bad days when I feel worthless, God reminds me that I matter in his eyes. Thank you, Sister, for reminding me of this.

It is truly inspiring, especially in these dark days. I wish the five CEOs who have taken their lives in as many months could have heard this message and believed. It is sad when people make money into a god. I find great comfort in the antiphons of the Liturgy of the Hours. Thanks for the thought. It is truly inspiring, especially in these dark days.
