I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall be always in my mouth.
My soul will glory in the LORD;
let the poor hear and be glad.
Magnify the LORD with me;
and let us exalt his name together. (Psalm 34:2-4 NABRE)
This song of King David has always been one of my favorite psalms. It resonates with me. I admire the Psalmist's desire to focus on the Lord at all times.
Look at the many wonderful ways we are invited to spend ALL our time:
- To bless* the Lord by speaking openly that God is holy* and worthy* of respect.
- To praise* the Lord by expressing our approval and admiration of him.
- To glory* in the Lord, giving him public honor and praise.
- To do these things so that the poor--those who are defenseless and need to trust in God alone*--may hear and be glad
- To join together with the Psalmist and one another in increasing our appreciation of and regard for the Lord
Today, on this second Wednesday of the Easter season, I will join with the Psalmist and give back to the Lord all my moments, so that my entire day gives glory to him.
Blessed Caesar de Bus, who developed a program of family catechesis, pray for us.
