else to go to they said we caught trusted in judges forget it we trusted in attorneys forget it we trusted in our friends forget it we trusted in even family and for many of them family had abandoned them we trusted in ourselves they will admit it and thinking we could get away with the crime they will say everybody everything has abandoned us down including ourselves we have nowhere else to go but god and that's why their prayer is so intense and that of course is what we see in queen the prayer of queen this morning in the first reading from god's holy word in the bible she says in her beautiful prayer dear god i don't know where else to go i don't really have anybody i'm an orphan my people the scattered and persecuted i'm here by myself and i got to go and see the lion namely the
