R. (see 16a) I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart; I will declare all your wondrous deeds.I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, Most High.R. I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.Because my enemies are turned back, overthrown and destroyed before you.You rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; their name you blotted out forever and ever.R. I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.The nations are sunk in the pit they have made; in the snare they set, their foot is caught.For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor shall the hope of the afflicted forever perish.R. I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord.
REFLECTION
For the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor shall the hope of the afflicted forever perish.
God has given us an insight to the afterlife. But during this pilgrimage on earth we will be needy, feel forgotten and have no hope but yet we can loudly say, "I will rejoice in your salvation, O Lord."
Our Blessed Mother walks with us during our time on earth. She prays with us, she sits with us and she guides us to her Son. We are the sons and daughters of God, and, therefore, her sons and daughters. She helps us through her intercession and the graces she obtains for us.
Say the rosary daily as per the promises of Mary. It is a tremendous source of grace and spiritual protection. In Fatima, Sister Lucia dos Santos said:
"There is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families...that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."
Sit with Our Mother Mary, visit and pray with her.
