Scripture Reading
John 9:4
We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
Reflection
Jesus spoke these words on the way to heal a man born blind — and then he healed him. The urgency is not anxiety but attentiveness: there is a work given to us, a moment in which to do it, and we should not let it pass. Today is the day to love someone, to speak a true word, to do the good that is in our hands to do.
Prayer for Today
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in the path of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, They comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord - forever.
Amen.
