"I lift up my eyes to the hills-- from where will my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth." ~Psalm 121:1-2 .=: M E D I T A T I O N F O R T H E D A Y :=. "I lift up my eyes to the hills-- from where will my help come?" We can try to raise our thoughts from the depths of some of the sordid, mean and impure things of the earth to the heights of goodness, decency and beauty. We can train our insight by trying to take the higher view. We can train it more and more until distant heights become more familiar. The heights of the Lord, the source of our help, can become nearer and dearer, and the false values of the earth can seem farther away. .=: P R A Y E R F O R T H E D A Y :=. I pray that I may not keep my eyes forever downcast. I pray that I may set my sights on higher things. .=: S C R I P T U R E S A N D S A I N T O F T H E D A Y := Scriptures: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/ Saint of the Day: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/SaintofDay/ .=: W E P R A Y :=.
