The whole world worships
An excerpt from Psalm 22-27-29 (NRSV)
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord; and all the families of the nations shall worship before him. For dominion belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations.
Reflection from Dan Nicholas:
The beginning of this passage, “All the ends of the Earth”, brings back memories of various places my wife and I have traveled. From our explorations across the globe there has always been a presence of the Lord. One of the most moving experiences was attending a papal audience at the Vatican an seeing people from around the world participating in the service. Truly the people of all nations are of one Christ.
