Let My Prayer Arise

In the second episode, Fr. Wilbur takes us through Psalm 2 which begins "Why have the heathens raged?"

Fr. Wilbur begins his exploration of the Psalms with the well known Psalm 1 - Blessed is the Man.

We are now moving beyond the mid-point of our journey in the 15 Psalms of Ascent. Psalm 127 (128 in the Hebrew) talks about the "fear of the Lord" which is described as pure and enduring forever.

In his continuing series on the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur looks at Psalm 126 (127 in the Hebrew) and the assurance that God is with us in the journey.

In this Psalm, we reflect on the middle of our journey when the newness has worn off and the destination seems so far away.

Continuing through the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur reflects on Psalm 124 (125 in the Hebrew) where we take comfort in being surrounded by the love of God.

In the next Ode of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur shows us that God delivers us in close calls and close calls are the foundation of maturing faith.

Continuing with the Psalms of Ascent, Fr. Wilbur looks at Psalm 122 (123 in the Hebrew) which shows how we are given strength for the journey.

The Psalm of Ascent associated with the Pre-Sanctified Liturgy during Great Lent is Psalm 121 (122 in the Hebrew) where we "go up" to the House of the Lord.

Fr.Wilbur continues his series on the Psalms of Ascent looking to the hills "from whence comes my help."
