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, May 4, 2013

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,

for you judge the peoples with equity
and guide the nations upon earth.


Morning
Invitatory Psalm 67

Psalms 81, 82, 85

Daily Lectionary Reading, Revelation 21:10, 22-27
He took me in a Spirit-inspired trance to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God....22 I didn’t see a temple in the city, because its temple is the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb. 23 The city doesn’t need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because God’s glory is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there. 26 They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27 Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is vile and deceitful, but only those who are registered in the Lamb’s scroll of life. [Common English Bible]

Prayer for Today: Lord God Almighty, open us to see your city down here with us. Open us to see your light and to be willing to walk by it. Through your glory, we can visualize a city with gates open with all nations in it, with all of us no longer doing anything vile and deceitful. Shine your light on us. Open us to your will. Amen.
