On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, we are reminded that the voice of the Lord is powerful. But the same powerful voice that makes the earth shake is the same powerful voice that comforts the people of God. As Psalm 95:7-8 implores us, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.”
On Trinity Sunday, we celebrate the mystery of God's Being as three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Psalm 8, David is encouraging us to praise the Lord for His majesty displayed in the heavens and the earth. Whether we look at the heavens or the earth, we see the glory of the Lord.
