Faithful God of love,
you blessed us with your servant Son
so that we might know how to serve your people
with justice and with mercy.
We gather the needs of ourselves and others,
and offer them to you in faith and love,
seeking to be strengthened by them.
(RCL Prayers, Fortress Press.)
Invitatory Psalm 24
....
Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the Ruler of glory may come in.
Who is this Ruler of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
the Lord is the Ruler of glory!

Daily Lectionary Reading, Romans 5:1-11
Lectio Divina
For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will be be saved by his life (Romans 5:10).
O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! (Psalm 95:1)
Prayer for today:
O Lord, we give you thanks for sending your Son to save us, to save us although we hadn't deserved that salvation. Christ came to us while we were yet sinners. And, we give you thanks for the grace that allows and encourages us then to respond by living the lives that will serve best your purposes for this world. Amen,
Evening
