God in the Darkness of Miracles
It can be tempting to think of miracles as purely positive, uplifting things, and to only notice them when we see happy fruit, which is obvious to our very limited, mortal sight.
Miracles, however, - while always producing good fruit - nevertheless often include something unpleasant: a step we usually overlook, as a trial, and not something which is intrinsically part of the miracle itself.
Petitionary Prayer for the Warning
Lord Jesus, we who have been killed in white martyrdom, for the sake of the kingdom, and having received our white robes, cry out to you with anguish: O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before thou wilt judge and avenge our blood upon those who dwell upon the earth? Lord, we have no wine! We beg you to send the Day of Your Mercy, and flood us, and the whole world, with the vision of your particular judgement. Knowing that it shall be fearful in the presence of God, we joyfully embrace the knowledge of our sins in exchange for the sanctity that shall flood our hearts, and will open us to an even deeper relationship with You, paving the way for your Era of Peace. Amen.
