I always feel moved by the opening reading for Friday in the Dayspring Daily Prayers. It comes from Psalm 138:

I face your holy Temple,
bow down, and praise your name
because of your constant love and faithfulness …

In my mind, I find myself doing just that: bowing towards God’s Temple and praising God’s name.  And then, over the years as I visited New Norcia and listened to the words of the same Psalm at Vespers, it grabbed me again in a new way.  This time it was the lyric beauty of the words from the Grail translation of the Psalms:

I will adore before your holy temple.
I thank you for your faithfulness and love
which excel all we ever knew of you.

I roll those words around my mind, and roll them round my tongue.  How deeply they move me still.  Do you have a verse that profoundly moved you in the past, and still moves you today?  May the God whose faithfulness and love constantly surprises us by excelling all we ever knew before, be with you and bless you in this coming week of self-isolation.
