Psalms, 43

1. Judge me, God, defend my cause against a people who have no faithful love; from those who are treacherous and unjust, rescue me.

2. For you are the God of my strength; why abandon me? Why must I go around in mourning, harrassed by the enemy?

3. Send out your light and your truth; they shall be my guide, to lead me to your holy mountain to the place where you dwell.

4. Then I shall go to the altar of God, to the God of my joy. I will rejoice and praise you on the harp, O God, my God.

5. Why so downcast, why all these sighs? Hope in God! I will praise him still, my Saviour, my God.

“Pobres e desafortunadas as almas que se envolvem no turbilhão de preocupações deste mundo. Quanto mais amam o mundo, mais suas paixões crescem, mais queimam de desejos, mais se tornam incapazes de atingir seus objetivos. E vêm, então, as inquietações, as impaciências e terríveis sofrimentos profundos, pois seus corações não palpitam com a caridade e o amor. Rezemos por essas almas desafortunadas e miseráveis, para que Jesus, em Sua infinita misericórdia, possa perdoá-las e conduzi-las a Ele.” São Padre Pio de Pietrelcina
