"Many times I have been thinking: If I ever come to jail if I should ever suffer hunger, pain, torture or humiliation, then I hope and pray that I am the Psalms The Psalms can. will keep my spirit alive, the Psalms will give me strength to comfort others, the Psalms will prove to be the most powerful, even revolutionary weapon against the oppressors and tormentors. How happy are those who have no books need more, but take heart in the Psalms, wherever they walk and stand. Maybe I should start by learning the psalms by heart, so that they do no one can take away more. "(JK Henri Nouwen knew when he retired a few months in a Trappist monastery).
pray Psalms is a great miracle.
Who the psalm to his prayer makes hopes for a miracle, that summarizes the 18th Psalm in an image so beautiful, "With my God I can leap over a wall" (Psalm 18.30) The God of the Psalms gives me. the force walls, fears, overcome hostility, but not with violence, with his head through the wall, no, but with the God of goodness and Gerechtgikeit me the miracle that evil can not restrict me and scare. With my God I pack, what are I would draw back, on my own. With God is possible the miracle of the Exodus.
who reaches into his fears and needs for the Psalms, is freed from his loneliness, angst and self-centeredness. Not just because you take yourself back in the reciting prayers that others have prayed before us, but because stretches so dark in his distress and danger the kindness of God.
