On the day I called you answered.
You increased the strength of my soul.
What is doubted should, but seldom is revered.
What wearies me should, but does not relieve my toil.

I had a nightmare in the night.
My wife’s gentle touch had to calm me.
Long hours passed before a dim first light.
When it came to hope , I could not hear or see.The mass today was barely understood.
The church at Combloux was crowded.
The communion seemed to give no spiritual food.
Then I stared at the stained glass window, light framed.

And now in its Jesus translucence.
I seemed at last to find some sense.

…..

I called, you answered
And you increased my soul’s strength
From doubt to some faith

……..

See Psalm 137
