    Questions about Psalm 145:9

    How wide is God's goodness in Psalm 145:9?

    December 7, 2026, the eve of the Immaculate Conception, reads Psalm 145:9: the Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. That includes the person you find hard to call good. Mary's feast tomorrow celebrates a creature wholly open to that goodness.

    Does 'good to all' mean God approves of all behavior?

    No. Compassion on all he has made is not approval of every act. It means his goodness is not as narrow as your preferences. You are asked to widen, not to call evil good.

    Toward whom should I stretch compassion today?

    The person you would rather avoid. Pray Psalm 145:9 for them by name, and let one conversation or prayer be larger than your irritation.
