The Liturgy of Being

by Justin Borger

I love the repetition of Genesis 1 which reads like a liturgy of being itself, a grand “call and response” between the Creator and the cosmos.

“And God said… And it was so… And God said… And it was so…  And God said… And it was so… And God said… And it was so…” (Genesis 1:6, 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 24, 29, 30)

Creation is a standing ovation to God’s speech. It bursts into being at God’s beck and call.
