The days of affliction take hold of me. My bones are pierced in me at night, & my gnawing pains take no rest. By great force my garment is disfigured; it binds me about as the collar of my coat. He has cast me into the mire, &    I have become like dust & ashes… For I know He is everlasting, He who is about to set me free on the earth & to raise up my skin that endures these things; for these things have been accomplished for me by the Lord; which I myself am conscious of (Job 30:16-19; 19:25-27)

DAILY CONTEMPLATION

Blessed Pascha Week

“He disdains those who do evil in his presence” (Ps 14:4 OSB), or
“The malicious one has been brought to nought in his sight”.
This is perfection, that the malicious one have no force against a man;
and that this be “in his sight,” that is,
that he know most surely that the malicious one is not,
save when the mind turns itself away from the eternal and immutable form of her own Creator
to the form of the creature, which was made of nothing.
St. Augustine
