Yet the Lord waits to give you grace;
he rises to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him.
O people of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more.
When you cry, he will listen; when he hears, he will answer.
When the Lord has given you the bread of anguish
and the water of distress, he, your teacher will hide no longer.
Your own eyes will see him,
and your ear will listen to his words behind you:
“This is the way, walk in it.”
---- mine,
These are the days when I will answer all the prayers you have prayed for so long with tears, groans, sighs, and with great sorrow. Grief has been your close companion all these years as you agonized about the lack of joy in the lives of those you love so much, for they were robbed of the peace that comes in living a life pleasing to Me. You have brought your petitions to Me night and day. You cried out to My Mother and to all the saints and angels to come to your aid and intercede for you. Today, the words of the prophet Isaiah are being fulfilled for you and for those you have brought ceaselessly before My throne. I will turn your sorrow to joy, your tears to laughter, and your mouth will be filled with exultant praise and thanksgiving at My goodness and faithfulness. I will open their eyes so they will see Me. I will open their ears so they will not only hear My Voice, but they will recognize it and obey Me. I will take them by the hand and lead them on the path of righteousness and truth. I will fight for them. I will appoint angels to protect and guard them in all their ways. I will protect them from the wiles of the Enemy. I will cover them with My precious Blood, and I will fill them with My Holy Spirit, and they will never again stray from the Way that leads to eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Be of good cheer, ---- my own, for I have conquered the world.
