Today's episode features a guided meditation on Psalm 23. This Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday, the 4th Sunday of Easter, year B, and although the psalm selected for this particular cycle of the liturgical calendar is actually Psalm 118, I thought a meditation on Psalm 23 would be appropriate.
"The Lord is my shepherd;
there is nothing I shall want."
The famous Psalm 23, where the Lord is compared to a shepherd of his sheep, is by far one of the most recited and sung psalms in the entire book of Psalms. I'm going to introduce the sung refrain of the psalm, and then review the verses in sections. I invite you to meditate on the words, and take a moment to offer up your own words of prayer in the pauses between. I'll finish with a recitation of the Lord's Prayer and a fully-composed version of the psalm.
