I love this simple antiphon from today’s Office of Readings in the Liturgy of the Hours—"Show me your mercy, Lord, and keep me safe."
These words are a simple prayer and a cry of trust. In a world where safety feels fragile, God’s mercy is our refuge—our “safe space.” His mercy doesn't just shield us from harm; it renews us, strengthens us, and assures us we are deeply loved, even in our weakness.
Today, may this prayer rise from our heart. Let us trust that His mercy is enough—enough to heal, enough to guide, enough to hold us secure no matter what we face.
Rest in Him. His mercy will never fail.
Throughout today, let this simple antiphon—"Show me your mercy, Lord, and keep me safe"—rise from our heart in moments of need, reminding us to trust in His unfailing love and protection.
