Psalm 15 (Year B, Proper 17; 13 Pentecost)

The psalm appointed for today is Psalm 15. Note how Berger's art captures well the theme of spiritual pilgrimage toward God's home so central to the psalm:

Just as the birds zero in on the cosmic center here, so too we orient our spiritual pligrimage on God's garden hill, God's mountain top. To make the climb involves transformation. Approaching there means becoming the kind of persons described in vv. 2-7.
