   Antiphon on Psalm 146 

                       for the Visitation 

Happy are

those whose

hope is in 

the Lord 

their God, 

hallelujah. 

The Feast of the Visitation and our celebration of the life of Susan Tobias (1943 - 12014) Rector at St David's San Diego 1991-2000

                                                                               Luke 1:36, 3

And now, 

your relative 

Elizabeth 

in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month of her who was said to be barren. For nothing is im-possible with God.  Mary set out 

and went with haste to a Jud-

ean town in the hill country… 

and greeted Elizabeth …

                Filled with God, where would she 
                hasten but to the heights? The 
                Holy Spirit does not precede by 
                slow and laborious efforts...  
                     Ambrose, Bishop of Milan 

Friday evening

                                   Rachelle Linner   

                            quoted from today’s Give Us This Day

While we wait for the renewing gift 

of the Holy Spirit we begin the longer training in waiting “with joyful hope” for God’s myster-

ious plan to unfold in our lives. … for Jesus

the waiting is over. His work is complete, 

even as our begins.

We give you 

th-anks, 

O Lord, 

for all who have died that we may live, for all who have endured pain that we might know joy, for all who have made sacrifices that we might have plenty, for all who have suffered imprisonment that we might know freedom. Now turn our heartfelt feelings into deter-mination, and our determination into deeds, that as countless men and women have died for peace, so we may live for peace, for the sake of the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A city built on a hill cannot be hid. 

I hated not using the quote from Exodus which continues on from yesterday’s reading… It it has one of my favorite quotes in the Bible. When Moses says to Aaron WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! his response is…. You know how evil these guys are .. they wanted me to make them gods, so I took their gold and threw it in the fire and out came this calf!! Right, Out came this calf… 
For better OR for worse, a city built on a hill is right out there. 
 Kind of reminds me of the Clippers guy digging the hole deeper and deeper.... Sometimes it's better just to shut up.  
And I speak from firsthand experience. 

Evening Prayer, Page 117 in Book of Common Prayer, not as in ordinary, but as in in common, communal

                                           Colossians 4:2

Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping  alert 

in it with thanksgiving. 

If you don’t own a Book of Common Prayer, fist published in the mid-16th century, do yourself a favor and buy one. It's a treasure trove of prayer as well as being a jewel of the English language. 

Monday Morning Prayer

                                              Exodus 32:19,20

As soon as Moses came near

ered it on  the water and

made the Israelites drink it. 

Evening Prayer

 Gloria in excelsis

You alone 

are the

of 

Gali-lee,

Jesus saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for

they were fishermen. And he 
said to them “Follow me…”
