"Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God" (Psalm 42:5)
Attended a funeral mass for a friend/colleague's mother today and found the service quite moving, particularly being reminded of the Psalm above, which was sang as a response (in slightly different form). I found myself crying for my friend as he deals with this loss. I found myself thinking about all the people I love and care about who are in pain or scared or sick or are dealing with similar losses. And these words brought comfort.
