Let the world know!

Let the world know!

The Old Testament recounts many moments where God provided for His people. But one powerful retelling of God’s greatness is found in Psalm 105.

Psalm 105 focuses on events found in the book of Exodus—when worshipers were encouraged to remember God’s faithfulness and show gratitude for what He's done. And while all 45 verses are worth studying, let’s take a closer look at the verse that sets the tone for this Psalm, and the four ways it invites us into worship… 

“Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim His greatness. Let the whole world know what He has done.” 

Psalm 105:1 ESV 

REFLECT ON GOD'S GOODNESS 

Gratitude comes from recognizing what God has done for us. So in order to show gratitude, we have to recognize how God was at work in our past circumstances. When we do that, we can acknowledge God’s faithfulness and genuinely worship Him.  

THANK GOD 

In Psalm 105:1, the term “giving thanks” stems from the Hebrew word "yadah" which means, “to revere or worship.” To revere someone, you have to respect who they are. Giving thanks is an ongoing act of worship that involves recognizing who God is and offering up gratitude to Him for all that He’s done. 

PRAISE GOD 

The expression that’s often translated as “call upon His name” was often used in corporate worship to encourage people to seek the Lord. 

God’s name carries authority and power and is above all other names, and we proclaim God’s greatness when we call on His great name. When we call on God’s name, we gain a greater understanding of who He is—and this can encourage us to praise Him even more. 

TELL EVERYONE 

God wants everyone to know Him personally, and we get to help people find Him when we proclaim His greatness. As people discover what God has done for us, it can inspire them to seek God for themselves and discover His love for them.

We were made to worship God, and one of the ways we do that is by recounting His wonderful works. So today, intentionally set aside time to reflect on God’s faithfulness. And then—tell other people about His great works. Who knows? Your praise just might inspire others to worship God as well.

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭105‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Your Night Prayer

Learn More About Our Lady Perpetual Help

A Night Prayer Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen. Quote of the Night It is time now for us to rise from sleep!— St. Benedict Quote of the Night Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.— Hebrews 9:22 Tonight’s Meditation "Thus down through the centuries, the Church has carefully preserved, protected, and defended its Marian teachings, because to give them up would be to give up the gospel. To suppress them would be to deprive God's family of its mother. Without the dogmas, Mary becomes unreal: a random female body from Nazareth, insignificant in her individuality, incidental to the gospels' narrative. And when Mary becomes unreal, so does the incarnation of God, which depended upon Mary's consent; so does the suffering flesh of Christ, which He took from His mother; so does the Christian's status as a child of God, which depends upon our sharing in the household and family of Jesus, the Son of David, the Son of Mary." —Scott Hahn, pg. 93 An excerpt from  Recommended Products Personalized Classic Baptism Holy Water Bottle The Monk Manual Planner & Journal - 90 Day Planner or Extension Pack Examination of Conscience The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It's very simple, and it's designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God's commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. Reflect on the victories and losses Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day. Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in? In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage? Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit's promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration? Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow. Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. Practice gratitude It is God's love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.  Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today? What people or moments helped you see God in your life? Thank God for all these moments! Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow. Renew your commitment to Christ Remember our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him. Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples. Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally. If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act. Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
