First Reading
Ezekiel 36:23-28
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.
23And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the Gentiles, which you have profaned in the midst of them: that the Gentiles may know that I am the Lord, says the Lord of hosts, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.
24For I will take you from among the Gentiles, and will gather you together out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.
25And I will pour upon you clean water, and you shall be cleansed from all your filthiness, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
26And I will give you a new heart, and put a new spirit within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
27And I will put my spirit in the midst of you: and I will cause you to walk in my commands, and to keep my judgments, and do them.
28And you shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
