"Have you ever felt joy or sorrow, confusion or elation, regret or hope, terror or trust? Are you selfish and giving, a sinner and a saint, foolish and wise? If you have been or felt any or all of these, the Psalms are for you -- for they express all these -- every emotion and aspect that is part of the human experience.
"The Psalms are such an important part of our life and worship. We use
them in private prayer, we sing or recite them in the Liturgy of the
Hours, as responsorials, they help us at Mass and other liturgies to
deepen our response to and meditation upon the proclamation of God's
Word."
In a recent commentary, Archbishop Richard G. Henning reflected on the Psalms and on how they are "a gift -- given to us by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and the goodness of Our Heavenly Father."
