Psalms 136:1 — Saturday, May 16, 2026

The psalm is an antiphon of gratitude: Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Each verse declares an act of God, and the refrain answers with his eternal mercy. The psalm traverses creation, the exodus, and the conquest of the promised land. Today, this verse teaches us to remember God's works with gratitude. Repeating the refrain of divine goodness renews our faith in the midst of trials. The Lord's mercy has no end; it is the foundation of all hope. May our life be a continual response to that infinite love.
