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 17, 2011

Morning
My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time on and forevermore.

Invitatory Psalm 150
Praise the Lord!
We praise you for your mighty deeds, for your surpassing greatness.
Let everything that breathes praise the Lord!

Psalm 73

Daily Lectionary Reading, Genesis 12:1-4a

Lectio Divina
Now the Lord said to Abram, "Go from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that i will show you.... So Abram went, as the Lord had told him (Genesis 12:1,4a).

He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep (Psalm 121:4).

Prayer for Today:
God of amazing compassion,
lover of our wayward race,
you bring to birth a pilgrim people,
and call us to be a blessing for ourselves and all the world.
We pray for grace to take your generous gift
and step with courage on this holy path,
confident in the radiant life that is your plan for us,
made known and given in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(from RCL Prayers, Fortress Press).

Midday Psalm 119:113-120

Evening
Psalms 105
