1 The Messenger Volume 17 No. 8 August 2017 The Newsletter of The United Church of Sandwich Passionately united to feed all people body, mind and spirit To the glory of God! From the Pastor... The Psalms: Why they re important to God s people You will be reading this about the time that I return from my retreat and study leave at Saint Meinrad Archabbey. I will have been on a prayerful retreat, part of which will have involved studying the use of Psalms in Christian worship. Why the Psalms? Do these 3,000 year old Hebrew songs have any relevance to modern spirituality? Did those church singers in Rome and Gaul in the 11th century, who brought those old Hebrew poems to life in song, teach us anything about how to worship God? Here is something of what my yearly trips to Indiana have taught me about why we should continue to use and treasure the Psalms. When we pray the Psalms, we pray as Jesus prayed. Our Lord was a Jew. The Psalms were how he learned to pray as a child, and how he prayed as a man. The Psalms were on his lips on the cross ( My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Lord, into your hands I commit my spirit. ) When we pray the Psalms, every thought, emotion, and spiritual state is laid bare. In the Psalms there is rejoicing in God s power and presence ( Let everything that breathes praise the Lord ), there is anger and frustration ( Lord, why don t you slay the wicked! ), there is sadness and lamenting ( My tears have been my food all day long ), there are cries for help in trouble and despair ( Out of the depths have I cried unto you, O Lord ), and there is quiet confidence and trust in God s love and care ( He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty ). The Psalms help us keep our prayers honest. Our prayers are not always sunshine and happiness sometimes our prayers are remorseful, hateful and raw. The Psalms are deeply human, and open up all that we are before God. When we pray the Psalms, we are connected with the whole of God s people. We enter the temple in Jerusalem with our Israelite forbears ( I was glad when they said to me, let us go to the house of the Lord. ), we are there with the first Christians (who according to St. Paul sang Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs ), and we are present with God s people in every age who have found comfort and challenge in these profound words. Steve Mindrup
