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 9, 2011

Morning
God of all consolation and compassion,
your Son comforted the grieving sisters, Martha and Mary;
your breath alone brings life
to dry bones and weary souls.
Pour out your Spirit upon us,
that we may face despair and death
with the hope of resurrection
and faith in the One
who called Lazarus forth from the grave. Amen.
(from RCL Prayers, Fortress Press, 86).

Invitatory Psalm 67
God, be gracious to us and bless us and make your face shine upon us....
Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you....

Psalms 50, 51

Daily Lectionary Reading, Psalm 130

Lectio Divina
Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord (Psalm 130:1).

Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications! (Psalm 130:2)

Prayer for today:
O Lord, when I am in despair, I turn to you. Forgive me for the times that I have forgotten you.
I remember what you have done for me. I ask you now to do more. Forgive me. Repair me. Support me. Amen.

Evening
Psalms 75, 77
