The Healing Journey

March 3, 2026

The Kingdom of God Is at Hand

You the grieving now smile,
You the lonely and abandoned now find your dearest love,
You the fearful now have courage,
You the humble are now raised up,
You the simple now possess wisdom,
You the unlearned are lifted to sublime understanding,
You the spurned are now embraced,
You the forgotten ones now sit before Him,
You the poor are now wealthy,
You the oppressed are now liberated,
You the afflicted are restored to wholeness,
You the burdened now find rest,
You the confused now walk in knowledge,
You the sincere of heart now see his face,
You the mocked now stand as princes,
You the persecuted now taste justice,
You the blind now have the vision of young eagles,
You the deaf now hear even the whisper of the winds,
You the mute now discourse of his mysteries,
You the barren conceive the Word in your hearts,
You the brokenhearted now are enraptured by peace,
You the contrite now are made pure,
You the crippled now leap for joy,
You the weak now have mighty strength,
You the infirm now are healed,
You the imprisoned now approach without reproach,
You the cold now find warmth,
You the naked now receive white robes,
You the hungry are now fed the Bread of Heaven,
You the thirsty now drink your fill,
You the disfigured now possess all beauty,
You the outcast now are welcomed.
O come, let us adore Him. Amen
