Our soul waits for the LORD,
he is our help and shield.
For in him our hearts rejoice;
in his holy name we trust. (Psalm 33:20-21 NABRE)
Psalm 33 is a hymn in which the just are invited to praise God, who by a mere word created the three-tiered universe of the heavens, the cosmic waters, and the earth. Human words, in contrast, effect nothing. The greatness of human beings consists in God’s choosing them as a special people and their faithful response*
What a powerful idea: Our greatness comes from two related actions. First, it consists in God's choosing us as special people. And second, it consists in our faithful response. May we always seek this greatness.
Today, I will trust in Jesus.
Saints Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, patrons of undertakers, pray for us.
There are just 14 days remaining in this shared prayer journey of ours. Please continue to join your prayers with mine here, for a daily minute of reflection. As Jesus said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20) Though we gather together online, may our joining here reflect our deep desire to have Jesus in our midst.
