The Greatness of the Works of the Lord

Our responsorial psalm, Ps. 111, begins with the acclamation: “How great are the works of the Lord.”  You and I are "the works of the Lord!"

As  I prayed that verse, I looked  at the Sister  who was also in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.   A sense of awe came over me in contemplating the wonder of the human person that begins in its mother’s womb as a single cell. God knits our bodies together in our mother’s wombs, creating each of the physical systems to work in harmony with and  dependent upon each other to function well and realize the fullness of life to which we are called.  And we are not just a physical body. We also possess a spiritual body, the essence of who we are, where the Trinity dwells, where we are our true selves, undefiled by the limitations of the world or blocked from wellness by Satan’s jealousy. We are truly great and called to greatness in the Lord Jesus, to, someday,  take our place with Jesus in glory!
