Psalm 32 is such amazingly good news. “Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven.” It’s a given that I will transgress (misbehave, go astray, lapse) despite my best hopes and efforts. The good news is that I can make amends and begin again. Thank God for second chances!
The Readings
Genesis 3:1-8
Psalm 32
1 Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven,
   whose sin is covered.
2 Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity,
   and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you,
   and I did not hide my iniquity;
I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord’,
   and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
6 Therefore let all who are faithful
   offer prayer to you;
at a time of distress,* the rush of mighty waters
   shall not reach them.
7 You are a hiding-place for me;
   you preserve me from trouble;
   you surround me with glad cries of deliverance.
Mark 7:31-37
