First Reading

Acts 4:32-37

How to approach it

Read this as the first big movement of the day. Notice what God is doing, who is speaking, and what part of the story or teaching should stay with you.

32And the crowd of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he had, was his own; but all things were common to them.

33And with great power did the apostles give teaching of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all.

34For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,

35And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.

36And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation,) a Levite, a Cyprian born,

37Having land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

Psalm

Psalm 93:1ab, 1cd-2, 5

How to pray it

The psalm is meant to be prayed, not rushed. If the wording feels older, focus on the main movement of the prayer: trust, praise, sorrow, gratitude, or hope.

5Your teachings are become exceedingly credible: holiness becometh your house, OH Lord, to length of days.

3

Gospel

John 3:7b-15

What to watch for

The Gospel is the center of the reading set. Pay close attention to what Jesus says, what Jesus does, and what response he is asking for.
