It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Daily Prayer, Monday, February 21, 2011

Morning

Invitatory Psalm 95
O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving'
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.

Psalms 94, 96

Daily Lectionary Reading, Matthew 6:24-26

Lectio Divina
No one can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth (Matthew 6:24).

O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high (Psalm 131:1a).

O Lord, remind us when we seek to please the wrong master. Remind us that you are our Lord. And, O Lord, calm our fears and concerns about getting more and more. Remind us that we have higher concerns than food and fashion. Amen.

Midday Psalm 119:129-136

Evening
Psalms 110, 111, 112, 113, 114
