Visions
Fear not. From the first day you made up your mind to acquire understanding and humble yourself before God, your prayer was heard.
The prophecy of Daniel is full of metaphor, symbolism and mystery and yet it is in this prophecy that we see the coming of the Son of Man predicted. (Daniel 7:13 and 8:17) Today we reprise the mysterious vision that presages so much fear and so much hope.
God says: I see that you are determined to follow me and this brings me joy. I also see the pitfalls and obstacles in your way and this brings me sorrow. I abide with you as always. I accompany you through fire, pain and death. I raise you up when you are fallen. I restore you when are spent. I rescue you when fire consumes you. Did I not save my servant Daniel? Are you not as important as he? Read this story of Daniel and humble yourself as Daniel does. Trust in me as this young man does. Acquire knowledge of me as this young prophet does for you are destined to be as significant as any prophet of mine in the days of old. Each of you is precious in my eyes. Each of you has the potential to prophesy for me. Each of you is welcome to take refuge in the limitless safety of my most sacred heart. When you shelter with me your smallness expands to the boundless horizons of my mind. When you remain in me your fears and anxieties become the sinews of my protective arms. When you act in me your tears and sorrows dissolve into mists that nourish the dry nights of the soul. Read about Daniel’s visions today, bring me requests, and give yourself hope for many tomorrows. Know that I hear every prayer you utter in the turmoil of the day, in the shadows of night, in the company for friends or in the solitary stillness of your heart.
