Day 11, April 14th
Alleluia
Reflection:
Your Hebrew is very good! Yes, that word Alleluia is Hebrew, and a word Jesus would have prayed himself. It is found in several of the psalms, the collection of prayers and songs all addressed to God arising from almost every human experience you can think of. It appears about 30 times throughout the Bible and always in the imperative form β its an order, a command. Praise! Praise God, Praise the Holy One whose name shall not be pronounced β Hallelu is the command to praise someone, and Yah is the One to be praised, transliterated as the Lord, as βYahβ is too sacred a name to translate. So essentially every time we prepare to hear the Gospel proclaimed we sing βEveryone, praise Him, the Lord!β Itβs a call to action, in our hearts, in our minds, engaging our voice and our body as we stand. You have heard the expression β We are an Easter people, and Alleluia is our song! On hearing that God loved the world so completely that he gave his only son, so that anyone who believes in him may not be lost, but have eternal life – how could we not shout out to each other with joy and gratitude to praise such a loving God β Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia
