STUDIUM:
These particular verses are addressed to those who are tossed about by storms. Sometimes, we feel like we can't catch a break. No matter what happens, God is there. He is loving and kind to those in distressed.
MEDITATIO:
Sometimes the storms are personal and more often it's national politics, and international problems. The world is a mess. The prince of this world is having his hay day. How much longer before You come, Lord.
ORATIO:
Lord, only You can calm this world's storms. Bless us, Lord.
CONTEMPLATIO:
Come quickly, Lord.
ADDEDNUM: Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.
