Reflections on Morning Prayer

Have you ever stayed on the beach where you can look out of your balcony and see the ocean? That's the position I'm in this week. This morning in the Psalmody, we prayed Psalm 93 in the Liturgy of the Hours while sitting out on the balcony. One of the verses in Psalm 93: "Greater than the roar of mighty waters, more glorious than the surgings of the sea, the Lord is glorious on high." When you actually pray that, looking out over how powerful and amazing the ocean really is, it strikes you in a special way. Our God is a powerful, loving, and gracious God. Talk about a good way to get me in the mood to go received the Eucharist at mass in an hour or so!
