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, Saturday, April 16, 2011

Morning
Almighty God, you sent your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ,
to suffer death on the cross.
Grant that we may share in his obedience to your will
and in the glorious victory of his resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and ever. Amen.
(UMH 281)

Invitatory Psalm 67

Psalms 81, 82, 85

Daily Lectionary Reading, Isaiah 50:4-9a; Psalm 31:9-16

Lectio Divina
Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens--wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught (Isaiah 50:4).

Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love (Psalm 31:16).

Prayer for Today:
O Lord, as we pray toward Sunday, we remember the celebration that Jesus met when he entered Jerusalem, and we remember what followed the celebration. We turn to you in our distress, as have so many before us voicing our pain and our grief. And we turn to you as so many have before us voicing our confidence in your care. Deliver us from our enemies. Let your face shine upon us. Save us in your steadfast love. Amen.

Evening
Psalm 107
