As soon as he hears he will answer

“O people of Zion, who dwell in Jerusalem, no more will you weep; He will be gracious to you when you cry out, as soon as he hears he will answer you.” (IS 30: 19)

Our God is not separated from us, somewhere in Heaven, far away from us. He is closer then we can imagine andalways takes care of us. “When we cry out” — “He will be gracious to us,” When we pray and “as soon as He hears, He will answer us.” He is the One “who will save us.”

“The LORD is our Judge, our Lawgiver, our King; he it is who will save us.” (Gospel Acclamation)
