Opening Prayer: O God of wonder, you made all things, measured
the waters in the hollow of your hand, and marked off the heavens with its breadth;
who is like you? Lift up our eyes, O
Lord, and let us look to the heavens.
You created all of this. You
bring out the starry host and call each one by name. Fill us with wonder this day, that we might
praise you the way you alone deserve to be praised. Amen.
Scripture: Isaiah 40:9-31
Journal: What causes you to marvel at God? When you look around his creation, what fills
you with wonder? How does it inspire
your faith? What does that do to your
soul? What is your response to God
today?
Reflection:
In life one cannot awaken often enough the sense of
a beginning within oneself. There is so little external change needed for
that since we actually transform the world from within our hearts. If the
heart longs for nothing but to be new and unlimited, the world is instantly the
same as on the day of its creation and infinite. (The Poet's Guide to Life:
The Wisdom of Rilke)
Prayers
Closing Prayer: Let me know you, O Lord, who knows me; let me
know you as I am known. Enter into my
soul and fit it for yourself so that you may have it and hold it without spot
or wrinkle. This is my hope. Amen. ~St. Augustine
