Psalm 105:1-6, 23-26, 45c
A Journey Through the Psalms: Reflections for Worried Hearts and Troubled Times
Preaching the Psalms Cycles A, B, C
The power of these words is rooted in memory. The remembering of God's mighty works is basis for praise. The remembering of the salvation story gives light to future generations. Indeed, as we move beyond the psalms to Christian scripture and its derivative faith, we are called to remember as we celebrate the sacrament of holy communion. Memory, it seems, is the key to the whole enterprise of faith. More than this, memory is important to the advancement of civilization, even one could say, to the survival of the human species.
