Responsorial

The Responsorial Psalm is sometimes overlooked as a source of reflection. The overwhelming majority of homilies and reflections are based primarily on one of the other readings.

Today's Responsorial Psalm, however, (Psalm 119:1, 27, 30, 34, 35, 44) offers us not only an opportunity for reflection, but a tool that we could use every morning to reach out for God's grace, attune ourselves to his will, and respond to his love.
