Psalm 8: Divine Majesty and Human Dignity; 2 Corinthians 13:11-13; Matthew 28:16-20 OPENING MEDITATION Living Psalm 8 by Sam HouserHoly MysteryCreator, Christ, and Spirit- how wondrous your presence is in all the earth.You echo through expanding galaxies, through oceans breathing against the shore,through every living thing still learning how to belong to one another.You speakThrough children and prophets, Through those the world calls small, Revealing awisdom stronger than empire.When I look at the heavens- The scattered stars, The steady moon, The infinite danceof creation - I cannot help but ask: What are we that you continue to draw near tous?Dust and breath. Fragile and finite. And still, you call us beloved.You made us to live in relationship - With the earth, With each other, With everycreature That shares this sacred home. The forests and rivers, The winged and thewild, The creatures beneath the sea— All of us carried together inside the rhythm ofyour love.Creator, Christ, and Spirit - Holy communion without end - How wondrous yourpresence is In all the earth.
