Job's Wife Print E-mail
Written by Kristen West McGuire   

Job 1:8-12
 
And the LORD said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?” 
Then Satan answered the LORD, “Does Job fear God for nought? 
Hast thou not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land. 
But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse thee to thy face.” 
And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself do not put forth your hand.” So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD. 

 

(Job’s children die and his wealth disappears.)

Pentecost Novena Day Eight Print E-mail
Written by Edith Stein   
Day 8:  Are You the sweet song of love, and of holy awe,
Resounding ever round God’s throne triune,
Which unifies the pure tone of all beings,
Within itself?
The harmony which fits the limbs to the head,
So that each blissfully finds the secret meaning
Of His being,
And exudes it with gladness freely dissolved
In Your streams:
      Holy Spirit—
            Eternal jubilation!
 
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up to you our hopes and dreams!
With you, all things are possible. Encourage us! Amen.

Written by Edith Stein   
Day 7:  Are You the one who made the mirror bright,
Which stands beside the throne of the Almighty
Just like a sea of crystal
Wherein the Godhead views Himself with love?
You bend o’er the most marvelous of Your creations
And beaming shines Your splendor back to you.
The pure beauty of all beings
United in the lovely form of
The virgin, Your flawless bride:
      Holy Spirit—
            Creator of the World.
 
Prayer: Come Lord Jesus!
We lift up in thanksgiving our beautiful Earth.
Let our praise for your creation never end. Amen.
