Today’s appointed Psalm 103 is Joyful, and has proclaimed for some 2 1/2 thousand years the benefits from the Lord. 
"He pardons all my guilt and heals all my suffering” (verse 3).
"He surrounds me with constant love, with tender affection” (v. 4).
“he contents me with all good in the prime of life, and my youth
​      is ever new like an eagle’s” (v 5).
"He has not treated us as our sins deserve or requited us for our misdeeds” (v. 10).
 
Psalm 103 starts and ends with “Bless the Lord, my soul” (vs. 1 and 22), so in this spirit let us bless Lent at St. Christopher’s.
