waters above the heavens

Tuesday, November 24, 2009 St. Andrew Dung-Lac, Priest, Martyr and His Companions, Martyrs (Memorial)

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel: Daniel 2:31-45 Daniel 3:57-61 Luke 21:5-11

Daniel 3:60  All you waters above the heavens, bless the Lord, praise and exalt him above all forever.

This one struck me.  Many say that the waters above the heavens fell during the flood of Noah.  It is interesting the the scriptures make reference to the waters above the heavens, here, well after the flood.  It just strikes me how mysterious and eternal God is and how deserving of our praise.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to not think I know more than I do.  Help me to always remember that you are God and I am not.

Amen
