Return to the Lord your God

Submitted by Br. Emmanuel Taylor, O.P. on Thu, 04/05/2012 - 5:09am
Filed under: 
Prayer

"Return to the Lord" is the call in morning prayer for the next three days. On Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday the Scripture for the Morning Office comes from Lamentations. The poetic text lends itself well to liturgical use. The liturgy proclaims Lamentations with a hauntingly powerful call to repentance. The refrain is repeated: “Return to the Lord your God.”  Read more from Return to the Lord your God

Read more from A Little Lower than the Angels

"What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him little less than a god, crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him rule over the works of your hands, put all things at his feet: All sheep and oxen, even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, and whatever swims the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth!" – Psalm 8:5-10
