Glory Praise and Prayer

The Roman Catholic Lectionary for today contains praise for God for the spirit of the great prophets Elijah and his successor Elisha. The psalmist echoes this praise for the graciousness and power of God evidenced in action with the people of Israel. Matthew recounts the instruction of Jesus about the Lord’s Prayer. Our noise in communication with the Divine is merely the prologue. The communication really occurs when we pause and wait in awe and wonder after encountering the Presence.
