Put far from them, we beseech you, every root of bitterness, the desire of vain glory, and the pride of life. Fill them with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, and godliness. Knit together in constant affection those who, in marriage, have been made one flesh.

Prayer Suggestion I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come?  My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heav'n and earth.  He will not let your foot be moved, and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. The Lord himself watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand, so that the sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night, The Lord shall preserve you from evil; it is he who shall keep you safe.  The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth forevermore.  Psalm 121 (Book of Common Prayer | p. 234 Noon Eucharist, 5 Oct 21, Trinity Wall St | Choral Prelude: Margaret Burk - I Lift Up My Eyes ) +++ The Bible in Time | Tuesday | Week after the 20th Sunday after the Pentecost   New Testament Study, Day 63 | Today - Day 63 | Reflections on 1 Corinthians 6 : Next - Day 64 | Reflections on 1 Corinthians 7: +++ Reflection Today’s Reading -    Dear Friends in Christ,  In...
