Psalm 37:1-11, 39-40
Chris Breslin
“The more deeply we grow into the psalms and the more often we pray them as our own, the more simple and rich will our prayer become.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“… in our suffering and perils, we find ourselves united with the Mysterious Companion who looms up at our side, or indeed within the depths of our soul, as we recite the Psalms. It is Christ who has suffered before us, and for us. He has come to us in the Psalm.” -Thomas Merton
