Reflection: 1-9-25

Psalm 18:25-29

²⁵ To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
    to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
²⁶ to the pure you show yourself pure,
    but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
²⁷ You save the humble
    but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
²⁸ You, Lord, keep my lamp burning;
    my God turns my darkness into light.
²⁹ With your help I can advance against a troop;
    with my God I can scale a wall.

In the dark night of the soul, bright flows the river of God. 

The dark night of the soul through which the soul passes on its way to the Divine Light.

-St. John of the Cross
