I managed to read the Bible only on three days this past week — Monday, Tuesday and today.

Over these three days of short readings, I finished the last five chapters of Exodus and went on with the first six chapters of Leviticus in the Old Testament.

For my New Testament reading, I covered chapters 1 to 6 of the Gospel according to St Luke.


Passage of the Day

But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Luke 5:16  New International Version
One of those days, Jesus went out into the hills to pray, and spent the night praying to God.
Luke 6:12  New International Version

Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Anointed One, let us follow the example of our Lord Iesus who often withdrew to lonely places to pray alone. Let us find time to pray alone by ourselves too.

I will give you a new heart
