Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles

Reflection

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day pours out the word to day, and night to night imparts knowledge.” –Psalm 19:2-3

Prayer

Almighty God,

How good it is that things are. Day and night, sun and moon, stars and planets and galaxies and here we are in wonder and awe. Their very existence gives witness to you, the one above and beyond all this visible majesty. Amazing to think you call us into being, too, and have opened our mouths so that we might glorify you, in the company of saints and along with the rest of creation. Life is so precious! May we commit ourselves daily to cherish this life and vitality abounding through us, with us, and in us, leading us even today to a new heaven and a new earth, where you will be all in all. May it be so! Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to leave my four walls and stand in the sun, or under the stars. What do I see, what do I hear?
