Isaiah's rain and snow

Love that first reading from today's liturgy--just as the rain and snow come down (it's raining now) and do not return to heaven until they have watered the earth...giving seed to sow and bread to eat, so shall my Word be.
I was thinking about how God's Word came down and did not return to heaven in his Ascension until he had given us the Gospel (for us to sow across the earth) and the Eucharist for us to eat.
And since there are Gospel and Eucharist on the earth, he still hasn't really left.
As our Lord assured Fr. Alberione, "Do not be afraid; I am with you."

This is another one of my favorite quotes, "Do not be afraid I am with you, I have called you each by name, come and follow me, I will bring you home. I love you, and you are mine."
~based on Psalm 43
