Title: Isaiah 45:5-6 Post by: Brigid on May 19, 2010, 04:49:57 PM I am the Lord, and there is no other,
besides me there is no God; I gird you, though you do not know me, that men may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:5-6 Title: Re: Isaiah 45:5-6 Post by: Patricia on May 19, 2010, 05:29:19 PM What power in those words!
I met the Lord today for about half an hour. We have Eucharistic adoration on Wednesdays.

Even those who do not believe in Him are still upheld by Him and He still grants them their very existance. He causes the sun to shine on the good and evil alike.
