A Feast for the Astronomers

A Feast for the Astronomers May 23, 2016

copernicus & kepler

You have to love the Episcopalians.

They have marked out today as a Feast for Nicolaus Copernicus & Johannes Kepler.

The Collect for the day begins, “As the heavens declare your glory, O God, and the firmament shows your handiwork, we bless your Name for the gifts of knowledge and insight you bestowed upon Nicolaus Copernicus and Johannes Kepler; and we pray that you would continue to advance our understanding of your cosmos, for our good and for your glory…” It then concludes with a standard Trinitarian formula, which for several reasons I will omit here.

And.

I’m beginning to feel an urge to throw in an amen.

Oh, the Psalm for this feast is number eight. Here you go.
