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, June 13, 2011

Morning
O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Invitatory Psalm Monday 95
O come, let us sing to the Lord:
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
We come into your presence with thanksgiving;
we make a joyful noise to you with songs of praise.
You, Lord, are a great God,

In your hands are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are yours also.
The sea is yours, for you have made it,
and the dry land, which your hands have formed.
….

Psalms 94, 96

Daily Lectionary Reading, Matthew 28:16-20

Lectio Divina
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, an teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20).

O Lord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens (Psalm 8:1).

Prayer for Today:
Holy, Holy, Holy God, fill us with strength and courage, with discernment and compassion, that we may be your instruments of justice and love in this world, that it may be on earth as it is in heaven. Amen. (from RCL Prayers, Fortress Press).
