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, Tuesday, March 22, 2011

Morning
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 63
O God, you are my God, I seek you, my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water....


Psalms 97, 98, 99, 101

Daily Lectionary Reading, John 4:16-26

Lectio Divina
God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24).

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! (Psalm 95:2)

Midday Psalm 119:137-152

Prayer for Today:
God of the covenant,
in the glory of the cross
your Son embraced the power of death
and broke its hold over your people.
In this time of repentance,
draw all people to yourself,
that we who confess Jesus as Lord
may put aside the deeds of death
and accept the life of your kingdom. Amen.

(RCL Prayers, Fortress Press)

Evening
Psalms 115, 116, 117
