Crowned with Glory and Honor

Today is the traditional date for the Epiphany, although we here in the U.S. celebrate it on the prior Sunday. Today marks a special day for me. I am traveling home after having a wonderful visit with my parents. Beginning tomorrow I will embark on a new adventure that will prayerfully give more opportunities to evangelize. It is especially exciting that I will be working with young people.

O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name through all the earth! You have set your majesty above the heavens!

Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have drawn a defense against your foes, to silence enemy and avenger.

When I see your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place--What are humans that you are mindful of them, mere mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them little less than a god, crowned them with glory and honor.

You have given them rule over the works of your hands, put all things at their 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!
