"It is time for the Lord to act," is the psalm verse invoked at the start of every liturgy. It's a beautiful yet ominous way for the liturgy to begin because the entire verse account is, "It is time for the Lord to act, because your law has been broken." (Ps. 119:126) Fr. Marc reminds us that we don't gather around God and call for His action. God is the one who gathers His scripture around us and surrounds us with His instruction  because we have broken His law.  It is the same Word that creates, gathers, feeds, and leads the liturgical community with the Lord's life-giving commandments.
