All shall be well, all shall be well

Morning: Psalms 75, 76; Wisdom 19:1-8, 18-22; Romans 15:1-13

Evening: Psalms 23, 27; Luke 9:1-17

Here is King Herod - troubled soul, guilty about beheading John Baptist. Herod is curious about Jesus, though, perhaps even looking to him for hope? Julian of Norwich is drawn to Jesus, too. (It is Julian’s Day today.) A 14th century ascetic living in troubled times, she is deeply convinced of God’s all-encompassing Love. Julian believes she hears Jesus say, tenderly, to reassure her, “All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.” Troubled souls, take comfort, even hope, in this universal Love, no matter what evil you may have imagined or done.
