CQOD: 12/10/05 -- Merton: the great thing

Christian Quotation of the Day

December 10, 2005

Commemoration of Thomas Merton, Monk, Spiritual Writer, 1968

Meditation:
    Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;
        let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
    Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
        let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
    For the LORD is a great God,
        and a great King above all gods.
    In his hand are the depths of the earth;
        the heights of the mountains are his also.
    The sea is his, for he made it,
        and his hands formed the dry land.
    Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
        let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
    -- Psalm 95:1-6 (ESV)
