A READING FROM PSALM 8

O Love, how powerful is your name in all the earth!/

Your glory is sung in heaven by the angels and saints./

With the innocence and spontaneity of a child./

You confound those who are mighty and proud./

You quiet the unloving and fearful./

What is woman that you rejoice in her,/

And man, that you delight in him?/

You have made us in your image,/

You fill us with your love;/

We are co-creators of the earth!/

Guardians of the planet./

All that you have made, you have placed in our hands./
