26 Nov • The Hand of God: From Judgment to Protection
Join Fr. Tom Lynch from St. Pius V Parish in Chicago for today’s "Word of Hope." In this reflection, Father Tom looks back on childhood memories of the old Douay–Rheims Bible, specifically the terrifying illustration of the "Writing on the Wall" at Nebuchadnezzar’s banquet.
While the power of God can strike fear in the unjust, it is a source of immense comfort for the faithful. Reflecting on Luke 21 and Psalm 27, Father Tom reminds us that Jesus promises to be with us during persecution and setbacks. We are called to throw off the cloak of fear and walk in confidence, knowing the Lord is our fortress.
