Hi,
Morning has Broken!
Psalm 5:3 "O Lord, in the morning thou dost hear my
voice;in the morning I prepare a sacrifice for thee,
and watch".
In the Christian tradition, time has always had a
sacramental significance because God entered into time
and hallowed it, just as he entered into matter and
space and hallowed them. Time means something. And
God has ordered the rhythms of our lives so that this
awareness is built into our bones. Morning, for
instance, carries with it the sense of promise, of
renewal, of freshness, of second chances. Morning is
as old as the world, yet every morning feels new.
Even as tragic a book as Lamentations picks up on this
theme and reminds us that the steadfast love of the
Lord never ceases, that his mercies never come to an
end and that they are "new every morning." Not
surprisingly then, the Church takes over the tradition
of morning prayer from our elder brothers, the Jews,
and urges us to pray, like the psalmist, in the
morning and to offer the coming day to God, who gave
it to us. Today, offer morning prayer to God, make
your life a living sacrifice, and watch.
love n prayers,
