Today's Scripture Reading

O nations of the world, recognize the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.

For the Lord will give justice to his people and have compassion on his servants.

The idols of the nations are merely things of silver and gold, shaped by human hands. They have mouths but cannot speak, and eyes but cannot see. They have ears but cannot hear, and mouths but cannot breathe.

Psalm 96:7; 135:14-17


If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.

Jeremiah 29:13; 33:3


But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

Matthew 6:6


Today's Meditation

Give me a candle of the Spirit, O God, as I go down into the deeps of my being. Show me the hidden things, the creatures of my dreams, the storehouse of forgotten memories and hurts. Take me down to the spring of my life, and tell me my nature and my name. Give me freedom to grow, so that I may become that self, the seed of which You planted in me at my making.

Out of the depths I cry to You...
