Oh, the depth...

It was my second time serving as lector at St. Rose's today. When they make out the schedule for half the year, I never know what I'm going to be assigned to read until I get there. 

But it was my honor today to read one of my favorites, Paul's great Doxology from his letter to the Romans (11:33-36):

Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! 

How unsearchable his judgments, 

and his paths beyond tracing out! 

"Who has known the mind of the Lord? 

Or who has been his counselor?"

"Who has ever given to God, 

that God should repay him?"

For from him and through him and to him are all things. 

To him be the glory forever! Amen.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.
