Sunday-Ps.14 is one selection for the day. It is nearly the same as Ps. 53. V. 2 has god seeking for the wise who search for God. How has God sought you over the years? How do you seek for God? How are you wise?
Monday-Vocation is not what you do but who you are becoming. The highest reward for your toils is not what you get for it but what you become by it, to paraphrase John Ruskin,
Tuesday-Nothing is wasted when it is shared with God. God can bring beauty out of the ashes of lost dreams. He can glean Joy out of sorrow, Peace out of adversity." (Sarah Young)
Wednesday-Michael Jinkins-The story of Christianity is the story of good news that will not respect the walls erected by human hands, but opens the eyes of people to the fact that every partition we erect is called into question by the neighborhood of Jesus Christ (Galatians 3:28; Ephesians 2:14). The Spirit of Christ runs counter to the spirit of the tribe, calling us to let go of the fears and self-hatred that separate us and to find in Christ the humanity that revels in God's love for everyone God created.
Thursday-If God’s vision for the human enterprise is to unfold in all fullness, we need a people ready, willing and able to embrace that which is timeless and carry it forward. And people ready, willing, and able to subvert what needs subverting.-Br. Mark Brown
Friday-"Creativity is essential to the world, to imagine new possibilities. Yet, so many of us lead lives that are so full, there is barely room for God’s newness to erupt in us, or for us to even recognize those stirrings when they happen. The monastic path offers us guidance in this direction."- Christine Valters Paintner,
Saturday- “The life of every man is a diary in which he means to write one story, and writes another; and his humblest hour is when he compares the volume as it is with what he vowed to make it.”
