Summary: These daily 5 minute podcasts are intended to give you a small boost every day, a little encouragement in your own use of this holy season. I provide these especially in gratitude to benefactors who help me and this blog. Today is Friday after Ash Wednesday. Our Lenten discipline begins. GO TO CONFESSION! In these podcasts I often use snips from this lovely disc of music for Lent from the wonderful Benedictine Nuns in Missouri, at Gower Abbey. Buying their discs helps them to build their new monastery. I’m just sayin’. US HERE – UK HERE Ps 2 Quare fremuerunt. The vain efforts of persecutors against Christ and his church. [1] Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things? [2] The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ. [3] Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us. [4] He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them. [5] Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage. [6] But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment. [7] The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. [8] Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. [9] Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. [10] And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth. [11] Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling. [12]Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. [13] When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him. If these podcasts are useful to you and yours, perhaps you might consider making a donation.
