The banks are breaking; the oceans are rising; there are several wars going on; and the sun is shining from a magnificently blue sky.
Blessed are You, O Lord God, Maker of heaven and earth, in Whose love and unshaken strength we live and move and have our being. How our everydays are calmed in the great everlastingness of You!
Today, in the midst of so much breaking and crashing around us, You call me to lift up my eyes, for You are my glory and the lifter of my head. My meagerness is enriched in Your endless grandeur, in the scope of Your heavens, in the beauty and order of Your infinitesimal details.
By Your very being, You exalt the lowly; You exalt me.
Today, the first day of the first 2009 AD in the history of our world, I rest in You, and gaze with wonder on Your splendor.
