Transcript of a Sermon on Psalm 8

Holy trembling in the experience of The Mystery
known of all who offer a listening ear
through golden sands hearing the bare-ass sea

the courage of those whose lives have been marginalized
and yet come to this place of considerable wealth
in the midst of all of you

in the sacred hospitality
in the food that is prepared
the reparation and reconciliation

caring for creatures
healing our oceans
deepening community

strengthening our shared Mystery
bread which has already been broken
the Church through all the years

I am experiencing the Mysterium Tremendum
downright irreverent humor
bearing witness of ourselves

and we are lovely
the world changed by us for the better. Meanwhile,
who are we that You should be mindful of us?

You have made us almost equal to the gods
and put everything under our care.
Wanna know what? I hate Psalm 8.
