Mike French reflects on the power of daily prayer, specifically the Angelus, and how it guides them to consider the "promises of Christ." They delve into the promise in Luke 11:9, and how it is a "Blessed Assurance" but also the beginning of a conversation with Jesus, inviting them to humility and dependence on His love and providence.

God became a human in Jesus. God didn't just become a man, but he actually became flesh and blood, just like us. All the matter and energy in the universe is connected to God because he created it. So, in a way, we are all made of the same stuff as God. And when Jesus was here on earth, he went through all the same stuff we go through, like happiness and sadness, and he understands us because of it. God isn't just some distant being, but he's right here with us, and he knows us inside and out.

We would do good to remember that Jesus showed us through His actions that He cares for everyone, no matter how insignificant we might feel, so when we feel like we're too miserable to pray, we should turn to Him and ask Him to heal us too. He's waiting for us to ask.
