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, Thursday, March 10, 2011

Morning
Let all who are faithful offer prayer to you....
You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with glad cries of deliverance...

Invitatory Psalm 150

Psalm 73

Daily Lectionary Reading, Matthew 4:1-11

Lectio Divina
But he answered, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God'" (Matthew 4:4).

Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit (Psalm 32:1-2).

Prayer for Today:
Almighty God, your blessed Son was led by the Spirit
to be tempted by Satan.
Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations.
And, as you know the weakness of each of us,
let each one find you mighty to save;
through Jesus Christ your Son, our Lord. Amen.

(UMBOW 333)

Midday Psalm 119:68-77

Evening
Psalm 69
