Today is Wednesday 13th of January 2010.
Psalm 55
This psalm expresses deep dismay over the treachery of a close friends. When friends hurt us, the burden is too difficult to carry alone.
55-12,13,14,15, 16 If an enemy were insulting me, I could endure it; if a foe were raising himself against me, I could hide from him.
But it is you, a person like myself, my companion, my close friend, with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God.
Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the grave, for evil finds lodging among them.
Reflections: Nothing hurts more than a wound from a friend. At times friends may need to lovingly confront you in order to help you, but betrayal truly hurts, and would cause great anguish. This happens often with those married couples. They start sweet, but break up bitter into separation and divorce. They leave their children also in dismay with a lot of pain. They forget fidelity, till death do us part.
Say one "Our Father and Hail Mary" for our own intentions and the healing intentions of this prayer.
Have a nice day, Deacon Gary
