Scripture

The Daily Office of the Episcopal Church offers us everyday readings of scripture on a two year cycle. On the day I write this,* the scripture readings start out this way: Exodus: “The people gathered around Aaron and said, ‘Make gods for us, who shall go before us…’” Colossians: “Wives, be subject to your husbands…” Matthew: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Scripture is a mix … often perplexing, occasionally jarring, sometimes soothing. Scripture is ours, for every day and for times like these, along with the short Daily Devotions for Individuals and Families.**

*Monday, Week of 4 Easter, B.C.P. p. 961.
**Daily Devotions, B.C.P. pp 136 – 140.
