Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
Morning
Invitatory Psalm 95
Psalms 57, 61, 64
Daily Lectionary Reading, John 2:1-6
Six days before Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, home of Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Lazarus and his sisters hosted a dinner for him. Martha served and Lazarus was among those who joined him at the table. 3 Then Mary took an extraordinary amount, almost three-quarters of a pound, [h] of very expensive perfume made of pure nard. She anointed Jesus’ feet with it, then wiped his feet dry with her hair. The house was filled with the aroma of the perfume. 4 Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), complained, 5 “ This perfume was worth a year’s wages! [i] Why wasn’t it sold and the money given to the poor? ” ( 6 He said this not because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief. He carried the money bag and would take what was in it.)

Prayer for Today: God, inspire generosity within us. We don't always find it easy to give to others. We also need help in suspending our judgment of others who display generosity in ways unfamiliar to us. Amen.
