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, March 23, 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 100

Psalms 120, 121, 122, 123, 124

Daily Lectionary Reading, John 4:27-38

Lectio Divina
For here the saying holds true, "One sows and another reaps" (John 4:37).

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. (Psalm 95:3-4).

Prayer for today:
O Lord, we give you thanks for the many workers you have sent out ahead of us and all that they have accomplished. Strengthen us now to continue the work they have begun. Amen

Midday Psalm 119:153-160

Evening
