I am a huge fan of some of Mel Gibson’s movies. All three Mad Max films, the first two Lethal Weapon movies, Year of Living Dangerously, even Braveheart. The fact that he’s one of the few major stars in Hollywood to be a conservative Republican and a deeply religious Catholic makes me like him even more. I want to see his new movie as soon as I can afford it.
Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord.
For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him.
It will be said on that day 'Lo this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us.'
From of old no one has heard or perceived by the ear, no eye has seen a God besides thee, who works for those who wait for him.
Be ready for action with belts fastened and lamps alight. Be like men who wait for their master's return... ready to let him in the moment he knocks.
When he was abused he did not retort with abuse. When he suffered he uttered no threats, but committed his cause to the one who judges justly.
We ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons.
For to us, our hope of attaining the righteousness which we eagerly await, is the work of the Spirit through faith.
Be patient my brothers until the Lord comes. The farmer looking for the precious crop his land may yield can only wait in patience, until the autumn and spring rains have fallen.
(Psalm 27:14, RSV; Psalm 62:5, RSV; Isaiah 25:9, RSV; Isaiah (34:4, RSV; Luke 12:35-36, NEB; 1 Peter 2:23, NEB; Romans 8:23, RSV; Galatians 5:5, NEB; James 5:7-8, NEB)
