Mercy and Redemption

Psalm 130. Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in His word do I hope.

୨୧ favourite quote from the bible ୨୧

I'm in a Paradise Lost reading group that I'm sure I'll fall off in a week, but in the meantime we're reading CS Lewis's A Preface to Paradise Lost and this man has a maddening ability to say normal things in a banger-y way

From the one point of view [a poem] is an expression of opinions and emotions; from the other, it is an organization of words which exist to produce a particular kind of patterned experience in the readers. Another way of stating this duality would be to say that every poem has two parents – its mother being the mass of experience, thought, and the like, inside the poet, and its father the pre-existing Form (epic, tragedy, the novel, or what not) which he meets in the public world. By studying only the mother, criticism becomes one-sided. It is easy to forget that the man who writes a good love sonnet needs not only to be enamoured of a woman, but also to be en­amoured of the Sonnet.

I run in the path of Your commands, for You have broadened my understanding.

Psalm 119:32

Psalm 96:9 (KJV) - O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before Him, all the earth.

In God I find my strength and my purpose 🙏🏽

Me, every time I fall away from praying the Liturgy of the Hours: That sounds like such a stressful commitment and so much work and I don't want to bother.

Me, every time I start praying the Liturgy of the Hours again: This is amazing and beautiful and so easy! Why don't I do this all the time?

Verse of the Day - Psalms 27:4

No Romance Limit mod finally getting me to smooch Gale and Wyll and frankly if you don't adore Wyll Ravengard you're wrong? This man. My god.

Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Psalm 51:7

MELISENDE PSALTER (Armenia, 1139) Illuminated manuscript in the British Museum.

‘Melisende (1105–c. 1160) was a Frankish princess. She and her husband, Fulk V of Anjou, became joint rulers of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1131. However within a year she and her husband were at war – which Melisende and her supporters won. Thereafter she became a great patron of the arts, founding an abbey at Bethany and commissioning this magnificent psalter.’
