Robinson: prayer like a dove

Thursday, September 17, 2020
    Feast of St. Hildegard, Abbess of Bingen, Visionary, 1179
Meditation:
    Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
    —James 5:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Prayer is like the dove that Noah sent forth, which blessed him not only when it returned with an olive-leaf in its mouth, but when it never returned at all.
    ... Edward Robinson (1794-1863), from Job, ascribed by M. G. Easton (see the book)
    See also Jas. 5:16; Gen. 8:8-12; Matt. 6:5-6; Luke 22:40
Quiet time reflection:
    Spirit of God, pray within me. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
