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, Wednesday, February 2, 2011

Morning

Invitatory Psalm 100

1 Shout triumphantly to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with celebration! Come before him with shouts of joy!
3 Know that the Lord is God— he made us; we belong to him. We are his people, the sheep of his own pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanks; enter his courtyards with praise! Thank him! Bless his name!
5 Because the Lord is good, his loyal love lasts forever; his faithfulness lasts
generation after generation.
(Common English Bible)


Psalms 12, 13, 17

Daily Lectionary Reading, Isaiah 58:1-9a

Lectio Divina
Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of injustice, to undo the thongs of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover them, and not to hide yourself from your own kin? (Isaiah 58:6-7, NRSV)

It is well with those who deal generously and lend, who conduct their affairs with justice....They are not afraid of evil tidings; their hearts are firm, secure in the Lord (Psalm 112:5,7, NRSV).

Midday Psalm 119:17-24

Evening
Psalm 18
