First Reading

2 Timothy 3:10-17

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.

10But you have fully known my teaching, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, patience,

11Persecutions, afflictions: such as came upon me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra: what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me.

12And all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.

13But evil men and seducers shall grow worse and worse: erring, and driving into error.

14But continue you in those things which you have learned, and which have been committed to you: knowing of whom you have learned them;

15And because from your infancy you have known the holy scriptures, which can instruct you to salvation, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16All scripture, inspired of God, is profitable to teach, to reprove, to correct, to instruct in righteousness,

17That the man of God may be perfect, furnished to every good work.

Psalm

Psalm 119:157, 160, 161, 165, 166, 168

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.

157Many are those who persecute me, and afflict me; but I have not declined from your teachings.

160The beginning of your words is truth: all the judgments of your righteousness are forever. SIN

161Leaders have persecuted me without cause: and my heart has been in awe of your words.

165Much peace have those who love your law, and to them there is no stumbling block

166I looked to your salvation, OH Lord: and I loved your commands.

168I have kept your commands and your teachings: because all my ways are in your sight. TAU

Gospel

Mark 12:35-37

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.

35And Jesus answering, said, teaching in the temple: How do the teachers of the law say, that Christ is the son of David?

36For David himself says by the Holy Ghost: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.

37David therefore himself calls him Lord, and whence is he then his son? And a great crowd heard him gladly.
