Meditation on Psalm 139
However close you feel you are to your very self,
However much you are aware of your existence,
ever more so is God intimately aware of who you are,
for the Holy Spirit is breathing God’s very life into you.

Featuring the Psalmody of Joseph Gelineau, S.J.
with reference to Dom Gregory Murray, O.S.B.

We expand on this text from Lily Yeh, a Chinese-American artist who brings those in poverty forward through art.
"I followed my passion and was guided by the light inside of me. That light does not belong to me alone. It is innate in all of us. Everyone has it. But more often than not, we choose not to see it."
See gratefulness.org
The sermon is based on Luke 14:25-33.
