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, Monday, February 28, 2011

Morning
Invitatory Psalm 95
O come, let us sing to the Lord.
....
We come into your presence with thanksgiving
....
for you are a great God
....
We kneel before you, our Lord, our Maker!
We are the people of your pasture, the sheep of your hand.
....

Psalms 1, 2, 3, 5

Daily Lectionary Reading, Matthew 17:1-9

Lectio Divina
While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, "this is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!" (Matthew 17:5)

Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? (Psalm 2:1)

Conclusion to Intercessory Prayer
You revealed your glory and presence
in your beloved son, Jesus the Christ.
In receiving our prayers,
reveal the glory and presence of your Spirit
alive in the world today,
free us from all doubts,
and empower us to act as a transfigured people. Amen.
(page 72, Revised Common Lectionary Prayers, Fortress Press).

Midday Psalm 119:1-8

Evening
Psalms 6, 7, 8
