First Reading
Jeremiah 20:7-9
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.
7You have deceived me, OH Lord, and I am deceived: you have been stronger than I, and you have prevailed. I am become a laughing-stock all the day, all scoff at me.
8For I am speaking now this long time, crying out against sin, and I often announce devistation: and the word of the Lord is made a shame to me, and a derision all the day.
9Then I said: I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: and there came in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was wearied, not being able to bear it.
