Monday in the Fifth Week of Lent: Now I see
From the gospel in the daily office readings: “He said to them, ‘He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.’”

From the gospel in the daily office readings: “He said to them, ‘He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I see.’”

From the morning psalm of the daily office: “The same stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone.”

From the gospel of the daily office readings: “Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life.’”

From the gospel of the daily office readings: “This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever.”

From the gospel in today’s daily office readings: “Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’”

From the gospel in the readings for the daily office: “But he said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid.’”

From the Gospel in the daily office readings: “Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.”

From the Gospel for the daily office today: “Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Do you have eyes, and fail to see? Do you have ears, and fail to hear? And do you not remember?’”

From the evening psalm in the daily office: “Who divided the Red Sea in two, for his mercy endures for ever.”

From the epistle appointed in the daily office readings: “Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.”

Taking a bit of liberty with today’s daily office readings, I have used the 1662 prayer book psalter. The language is more lovely. “Like as the hart desireth the water-brooks : so longeth my soul after thee, O God.”

From the Gospel in today’s daily office readings: “Jesus spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.’”
