Here are some guidelines that can be used to help you with using
the Psalms while in the presence of the Eucharistic Lord. A. Always
begin your prayer with a prayer to the Holy Spirit. You can use a
traditional prayer blessed by the Church or simply say with the
deepest humility available at the time, "Come, Holy Spirit." B.
Choose any of the Psalms. Read a verse and repeat it while
delighting that you are in the presence of God who is making his
Word come alive to you here and now. Remember that the same eternal
word that created all things from nothing is present to you and is
present to receive your prayer and listen to your acts of worship.
C. If you come across a word that suddenly has an interest to you
(like a highlighter drawing your attention in your mind and heart),
then stop and rest there to see what God wants to tell you. D.
Whenever you find consolation in your passage allow it to speak to
you. E. If you do not find consolation in a passage, do not be
hasty in moving on. Spend several minutes with it to see whether
the Lord will reveal himself in the darkness of you feelings, like
a star shining in a dark place. Often in these kinds of contrasts,
the Spirit can work very effectively in teaching the soul and in
making it more docile in its adherence to the Word.
When we pick up the Most Holy Rosary we enter into the world of the
Mysteries of Our Faith. As we move from Joyful to Sorrowful to
Glorious Mysteries we breathe in the life of the Only Son of God,
as well as his life and teachings. Mary assists us on this journey
of faith as we invite her to model our life on her own and to
become more like Jesus by following her lead.
The psalmist ask this question because he is awe-struck at the
incredulity of these people who raise themselves up against the
Lord of glory. He doesn't refer to one person but a nation of
protesters. Is it possible that so many people could try to find
fault against God? Yet, many people think that if there are enough
people who turn against God, then God will change, but that is a
fantasy. See how many have turned against God since the beginning
of human history, even since the coming of Jesus Christ in the
flesh. Has God changed? No See how many have left the Church and
started so many denominations, causing disunity in the One Church
of God. Has God changed? No Why do they protest? They protest
because they do not have the faith to see that God is Love and that
unless he were love, neither could they protest nor exist. By their
existence he shows his power, by allowing them to protest he shows
his mercy and patience.
