Read Psalm 8:4-5 in the NABRE onlineWhat is man that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Reflection
What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. The question is not self-pity but wonder. God's answer to your smallness is not to leave you small but to crown you.
