Psalm 147:1-11, 20c
 1Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises | to our God!
  How pleasant it is to honor | God with praise!
 2The Lord re- | builds Jerusalem,
  and gathers the ex- | iles of Israel.
 3The Lord heals the | brokenhearted
  and binds | up their wounds.
 4The Lord counts the number | of the stars
  and calls them all | by their names. R
 5Great is our Lord and might- | y in power;
  there is no limit | to God’s wisdom.
 6The Lord lifts | up the lowly,
  but casts the wicked | to the ground.
 7Sing to the Lord | with thanksgiving;
  make music upon the harp | to our God,
 8who covers the heav- | ens with clouds
  and prepares rain for the earth, making grass to grow up- | on the mountains. R
 9God provides food | for the cattle
  and for the young ravens | when they cry.
 10God is not impressed by the might | of a horse,
  and has no pleasure in the speed | of a runner,
 11but finds pleasure in those who | fear the Lord,
  in those who await God’s steadfast love. 20c| Hallelujah! R

Christ with me,
Christ before me,
Christ behind me,
Christ in me,
Christ beneath me,
Christ above me,
Christ on my right,
Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down,
Christ when I sit down,
Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.
--An excerpt from Saint Patrick's Breastplate, otherwise known as The Lorica of Saint Patrick.

Something to ponder today.
Peace and blessings this day.
