Temptation of Christ by James Tissot
Psalm 19
Unto the end. A psalm for David.
May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.
May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.
May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.
This Psalm is used in the Church to prepare us for the Spiritual Temptations we may recieve during Lent. Lent is a time for reparation for our sins, pleasing God, and cleansing our souls.
We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted. The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God. They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright. O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

That psalm is *perfect* for Lent,
not to mention b-e-a-u-tiful!
And the picture fits it perfectly!

You know I've been thinking about this chocolate cake in my kitchen and luckily after reading this I don't feel like eating it anymore.
Thanks Dixi!
Dixi,
I totally agree (on your comment on "Lark Rise to Candleford")! I have not heard of Audio Sancto, but I will certainly check it out, thank you! There's an FSSP chapel we frequent from time to time in St. Catherine's CA. I do enjoy looking at your blog, and hope to see more posts!!
God bless,
Grace
