Psalm

The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice;
let the many islands be glad.
Clouds and darkness are round about him,
justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes round about.
His lightnings illumine the world;
the earth sees and trembles.

The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
The heavens proclaim his justice,
and all peoples see his glory.

All who worship graven things are put to shame,
who glory in the things of nought;
all gods are prostrate before him.

Commentary

“Our Father, who art in heaven”: how wonderful it is, children, to have a Father in heaven! — “Your kingdom come.” If I allow God to reign in my heart, he will make me reign with him in his Glory. — “Your will be done.” There is no sweeter thing than to do God’s will and nothing so perfect. To do things well we should do them as God wishes in complete conformity with his designs. — “Give us this day our daily bread.” Within us we have two sides: the soul and the body. We are asking God to feed our poor bodies and he answer us by causing the earth to yield all that is necessary for our subsistence. But we are also asking him to feed the most beautiful aspect of ourselves, our souls, and the earth is too small to provide enough to satisfy our soul. It is hungry for God, there is none but God who is able to fill it. And so God did not think it too much by living on earth and taking a Body so that this Body might become nourishment for our souls. When the priest holds up the host and shows it to you your soul can say: This is my food! Oh children, we are overwhelmed with happiness! We will only understand it in heaven!
