Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; Amos 8:1-14; John 7:53-8:11“You send me!” Sam Cooke’s 1957 love song (covered by Aretha, Otis Redding, etc.) is about being ‘sent’ into awe, even worship, of someone. When Isaiah offers himself - “Here am I, send me!” - he is ‘sent’ to call others into the same awe that he has experienced. Israel tries to live without God. So does our own age. They cannot. “There is a God-shaped hole in every human heart”, writes Pascal. We are at home when ‘sent’ into awe and wonder at the mystery we call God, the only one who can fill the emptiness in us.
