Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, bless his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Tell his glory among the nations;
among all peoples, his marvelous deeds. (Psalm 96:1-3 NABRE)
Singing is such a visceral activity. We can actually feel the vibrations of our voices in our heads. This somatic experience of pleasure is one of the most beautiful ways to pray. When we sing, it has been said, we pray twice. And so, today, I will join with all the earth singing a song to the Lord! I will allow the experience of feeling the song to be an expression of joy and praise to Jesus!
Today, on this Thursday of the Fifth Week of Easter, I will remember that the Lord's name itself is holy, sacred and worthy of reverence.
Saint Peter Chanel, first martyr and patron of Oceania, pray for us.
