Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 131:1,2,3
“Yahweh, my heart is not haughty, I do not set my sights too high. I have taken no part in great affairs, in wonders beyond my scope. No, I hold myself in quiet and silence, like a little child in its mother’s arms, like a little child, so I keep myself. Let Israel hope in Yahweh henceforth and forever.
I have always loved to hold a sleeping baby, or even a sleeping pet, in my arms. When a child or creature falls asleep in my arms it is the highest form of trust. It knows that it is safe, and therefore, is willing to completely let go of this world. It is also the ultimate act of humility to place oneself completely in the care of another.
Like David, the psalmist, we are to humbly place ourselves in God’s care, completely trusting in His everlasting arms to secure and protect us. Our hope is in Him and no other.
Have a blessed Sunday all you children of hope, all you children of God!
