The Responsorial Psalm on Sunday has us sing out for change and renewal.
Most of us, apparently, find, change difficult, except under certain very controlled circumstances. So will we mean what we sing?
Send forth your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth or Alleluia!
Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are,
How many are your works, O Lord!
The earth is full of your riches.Send forth your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth or Alleluia!
You take back your spirit, they die,
returning to the dust from which they came.
You send forth your spirit, they are created;
and you renew the face of the earth.Send forth your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth or Alleluia!
May the glory of the Lord last for ever!
May the Lord rejoice in his works!
May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
I find my joy in the Lord.Send forth your spirit, O Lord, and renew the face of the earth or Alleluia!
Psalm 103:1,24,29-31,34
If we are up for change is it that ‘they’ might be changed, or ‘me’ or ‘us’.
In a time of reflection,call to mind what you might like to see change in
- Them
- You
- Us
And then spend a little time considering what the Lord might like to see change in
- Them
- You
- Us
Are the lists the same? What might account for any difference? How might you deal with that?
