First Reading
Sirach 50:22-24
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.
50:22Then coming down, he lifted up his hands over all the congregation of the children of Israel, to give glory to God with his lips, and to glory in his name:
23And he repeated his prayer, willing to show the power of God.
24And now pray you to the God of all, who has done great things in all the earth, who has increased our days from our mother's womb, and has done with us according to his mercy.
