Dark Brightness

The boy and I watched the news channel last night. There is a large amount of anxiety at present. People’s plans for travel are being disrupted: this is affecting me, but not as bad as this. However, the new trainee pointed out that in Hungary her family are completely unaffected: they are too poor to travel.

From today’s lectionary (Well Mondays — I am 16h ahead of the USA server).

I Peter 5

6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time. 7Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. 8Discipline yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour. 9Resist him, steadfast in your faith, for you know that your brothers and sisters in all the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering. 10And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. 11To him be the power forever and ever. Amen.
