Today’s Reading

9/23/2019     Day 266 Mark 14:1 – 72

Reflection |

Today -

This section begins the Passion of Jesus as he heads
to the resurrection.

A woman cleans Jesus’ feet with oil at the Passover.
Judas betrays in a plot with high priests.
Jesus and the disciples have the Passover meal; predicts
His betrayals; institutes Holy Communion/Eucharist/Lord’s
Supper; Jesus prays- arrested- interrogated - false testimony -
Denied by Peter; the rooster crows for the second time.

Collect for Proper 20 / Pentecost 15

Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love
things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things
that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Pray for those seeking God’s calling for their next
venture in life. May we give thanks for all God’s gifts and
Wonders that God gives us continuously.
Amen.
