A Simple Way to Grow in Reverence

Today is what the Church calls Laetere Sunday, the midway point in Lent. The Psalm is perhaps my favorite, Psalm 23.

The Lord is my shepherd… gets me every time. I simply cannot read this Psalm without a heavy sense of blessing and a light awareness of discipleship.

Something that I’ve done for a while is to kiss my Bible after I’ve finished reading it for the day. Holding the page up to my lips slowly and thanking God for the Word- there’s just something about it. It feels liturgical and humbles me for the Lord.

What small gestures do you employ when you pray in order to grow in reverence?
