Readings of the day: RB 9 The Number of Psalms at the Night Office

Mass: 1 K 17:7-16; Resp Ps 4; Mt 5:13-16

Salvator Mundi, Leonardo DaVinci

O Lord, let the light of your countenance shine upon us!

(Resp Ps 4)

O the beauty of the face of Jesus Christ shining upon us! We are illuminated in LIGHT becoming light of the world. What does it mean, then, that our light must shine before others? What comes to mind this morning are deeds of loving kindness. How might you extend deeds of loving kindness in small yet significant ways to those you meet today? Not so for your own glory and edification but rather that others may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.

Living and true God,

from whom all good things come,

grant that we, who call on you in our need,

may at your prompting discern what is right,

and by your guidance do it.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity

of the Holy Spirit, one God,

for ever and ever.

(Collect, Mass)
