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, May 6, 2013

Clap your hands, all you peoples,
shout to God with loud songs of joy.
For the Lord, the Most High is awesome,
a great king over all the earth.

Morning  
Invitatory Psalm 95

Psalm 94
Psalm 96

Daily Lectionary Reading, Luke 24:44-53
44 Jesus said to them, “ These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law from Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled. ” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. 46 He said to them, “ This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and a change of heart and life for the forgiveness of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 Look, I’m sending to you what my Father promised, but you are to stay in the city until you have been furnished with heavenly power. ”

50 He led them out as far as Bethany, where he lifted his hands and blessed them. 51 As he blessed them, he left them and was taken up to heaven. 52 They worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem overwhelmed with joy. 53 And they were continuously in the temple praising God.

Prayer for Today: O Lord, speak to us again. Open our minds to understand. Amen.
