Call to Worship #9

Definition of worship penned by William Temple, former Archbishop of Canterbury: 

Worship is the quickening of our conscience by God’s holiness;
the nourishment of our minds with his truth;
the purifying of our imagination by his beauty;
the opening of our hearts to his love;
the surrender of our wills to his purpose;
and all of these gathered up in adoration –
the most selfless emotion by which our nature is capable and therefore
the chief remedy for that self-centeredness which is our original sin and
the source of all actual sin

Most holy God, help us to adore you today with all our hearts, and all our minds, and all our strength. Amen
