2 John 4-9
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.

Psalm 119:1, 2, 10, 11, 17, 18
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.
1Aleph
Luke 17:26-37
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.
26And as it happened in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of Man.
27They did eat and drink, they married wives, and were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark: and the flood came and destroyed them all.
28Likewise as it happened, in the days of Lot: they did eat and drink, they bought and sold, they planted and built.
29And in the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.
30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man shall be revealed.
31In that hour, the one who will be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and the one who will be in the field, in like manner, let him not return back.
32Remember Lot's wife.
33Whoever shall seek to save his life, shall lose it: and whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.
34I say to you: in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35Two women shall be grinding together: the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left: two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be keft.
36They answering, say to him: Where, Lord?
37Who said to them: Wheresoever the body shall be, there will the eagles also be gathered together.
