A single basis for environmentalism and social justice in one fell swoop.

                              Ezekiel 34:18


Is 
it not enough for you to feed on good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture?       
                  When you drink from clear water, must you foul the rest with your feet?

Wednesday evening

                                      A Collect at 
                                       Evening Prayer


Send forth 
the Spirit 
of your love, 
that in com-
panionship 
with one another 
your abounding grace 
may increase among us  

Alcuin, Deacon and Abbot of Tours, 804

                                   Ezekiel 11:19,20*
I will give you 
one heart and put a new spirit within you, I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you 
a heart to flesh. Then you shall be 
my people and I shall be 
your God.   
                                                       The original quotation uses the pronoun they/their but I think the change for this use would be more than acceptable to the Author. :)
Pray for scholars who preserve and pass on the heritage of learning, for integrity of character  of students and teachers and for those who revise, expand, enrich and improve the church’s liturgy.

Tuesday evening

  Psalm 94:19  





When 
many 
cares 
fill my 
mind, 
your 
consolations 
cheer my soul.

Tuesday in Ascensiontide and St Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury ca 909-988

                                                    Canticle 13 
                                        Benedictus es, Domine
Glory
to 
you, 
behold-
ing 
the 
depths:
in the high vault 
of heaven, glory to you.
The Viking raids of the previous 
century  had decimated monasti-
-icism in England  and St Dunstan 
was largely responsible for its restoration  for which we as a Communion are grateful, since 
the Prayer Book Daily Offices 
are largely the monastic offices 
made available for use by 
clergy and laity alike. 
                                 Pray today 
for a deepened commitment to  the Christian life: for monasteries of men and women nd those who serve God there,: for those who explore the relationship between religion and culture and for musicians and artists.
