God, our Redeemer

When you feel lost, lonely, abandoned, afraid of what the future might be, this passage of Isaiah must become your guide. The Lord says to you, “I the Lord your God, hold your right hand”. “Fear not, I will help you” The Lord our God promises to send us the Redeemer, the Comforter, the God who will change our lives forever. This is the Good news that all the prophets up to John the Baptist have announced. Like John the Baptist we all have an important role to play for the edification of the kingdom of God and the proclamation of the Good news. God is coming to set us free and to guide us! This might not be easy to keep especially when adversities arise, but our Faith will save us. No wonder St. John of the Cross says, “Faith is a dark night for man, but in this very way it gives him light.”

St John of the cross, Pray for us!
