First Reading
Acts 20:28-38
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.
28Take heed to yourselves, and to the whole flock, in which the Holy Ghost has placed you bishops, to rule the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.
29I know that, after my departure, ravening wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30And of your own selves shall arise men speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
31Therefore watch, keeping in memory, that for three years I ceased not, with tears to admonish every one of you night and day.
32And now I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, who is able to build up, and to give an gift among all the sanctified.
33I have not coveted any man's silver, gold, or apparel, as
34You yourselves know: for such things as were needful for me and them that are with me, these hands have furnished.
35I have showed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the word of the Lord Jesus, how he said: It is a more blessed thing to give, rather than to receive.
36And when he had said these things, kneeling down, he prayed with them all.
37And there was much weeping among them all; and falling on the neck of Paul, they kissed him,
38Being grieved most of all for the word which he had said, that they should see his face no more. And they brought him on his way to the ship.
