Episode 12 Psalm 103: A Song of Gratitude for God’s Endless Mercy


“Welcome to ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I am your host of the show Fr. Veigas Dominic

SVD. We are in the last episode of Season 5 with one of the Bible’s most uplifting and

heartfelt Psalms: Psalm 103.

This Psalm is a song of pure gratitude, reminding us to bless the Lord for His endless

mercy, unfailing love, and abundant blessings. It’s not just a call to praise—it’s a guide to

shifting our focus from life’s struggles to the goodness of God.

If you’ve been overwhelmed or distant from joy, this Psalm is here to lift your soul.”

“Let’s listen to the opening verses of Psalm 103 and allow them to stir our hearts to

gratitude:”

‘Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and all that is within me, bless his holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,

and forget not all his benefits,

who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

who redeems your life from the pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

who satisfies you with good

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.’

Psalm 103 begins with a personal call to worship: ‘Bless the Lord, O my soul.’ It’s as

though the Psalmist is reminding himself to turn his whole being—mind, heart, and

soul—toward praising God. Why? Because of all God has done.

Look at the list:

• He forgives all your sins.

• He heals your diseases.

• He redeems your life from destruction.

• He crowns you with steadfast love and mercy.

• He satisfies you with good things.

These aren’t small blessings—they are life-changing realities. The Psalmist isn’t just

listing God’s benefits as a routine; he’s declaring them with awe and gratitude. He’s

reminding us that God’s love and mercy are active, renewing, and restorative.

But notice this: the Psalm moves beyond the individual. Later, it declares that God’s

steadfast love extends to all who fear Him, from generation to generation. This love is

not just personal—it’s universal and eternal.

Where in your life do you need to pause and say, ‘Bless the Lord, O my soul’?

Episode 03 Becoming Prayer

Episode 03 Becoming Prayer

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-enriching episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a transformative journey to explore a practical way of Christian living - "Becoming Prayer.” Let us begin by contemplating the profound impact of prayer in our lives. In St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians 4:6-7, we find these words of wisdom: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." These verses remind us that prayer is a conduit to God's peace, a transformative force that can calm our anxieties and bring us closer to Him. How can we transform our lives into a continuous prayer, an offering to the Divine?

Episode 02 Anchored in Hope

Episode 02 Anchored in Hope

Welcome, dear listeners, to another soul-nourishing episode of "2 Minutes with the Lord." I'm your host, Fr. Dominic Veigas SVD and today, we embark on a journey to explore a topic that is both comforting and transformative - "Anchored in Hope." The Essence of Hope Let's begin by unraveling the essence of hope and how it is deeply intertwined with our faith. In the book of Romans, the verse 15:13 reminds us: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." These words beautifully encapsulate the idea that hope is not just a human sentiment but a divine gift, a source of joy and peace that flows from our trust in God. To truly grasp the depth of hope, let's envision a ship anchored in a safe harbor during a storm. The anchor keeps the ship steady amidst the raging waves, providing security and preventing it from being carried away by the tempest. Similarly, hope serves as our spiritual anchor, keeping us steadfast in the face of life's storms.
