A Day!
Litany Response: “A Day!”
Do we really apprehend what a day is? Do we feel its importance? Do we know its capacity?
A day!
It has risen upon us from the great depth of eternity, girt round with wonder; emerging from the womb of darkness; a new creation of Life and Light spoken into being by the word of God.
A day!
In itself one entire and perfect sphere of space and time, filled and emptied of the sun.
A day!
Every past generation is represented in it—it is the flowering of all history.
A day!
And in so much it is richer and better than all other days which have preceded it.
A day!
And we have been recreated to new opportunities with new powers;
A day!
Called to this utmost promontory of actual time, this centre of all converging life.
A day!
And it is for to-day’s work we have been endowed—its is for this that we are pressed and surrounded with these facilities.
A day!
The sum of our entire being is concentrated here and to-day is all the time we absolutely have. Celebrate today.
A day!
Amen.
