commentary

 

This Sunday Psalm 114 is appointed. This is such a graphic and beautiful poem. I love the verse that asks: What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? In his essay, Augustine reminds us that it is by God's grace that we have been adopted as his sons and so are a part of the true Israel, which is ours by our faith; and that we carry within us the LORD's  sanctuary.
