It hasn’t even been here a week. And one doesn’t even need thirty minutes a day. Fifteen will do. Fifteen minutes of this:

gives one enough practice and knowledge to read fifteen minutes of this:

Life, in Sacred Scripture

Children too are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children born in one’s youth.
Blessed are they whose quivers are full. – Psalm 127:3-5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. [...]

Children too are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children born in one’s youth.
Blessed are they whose quivers are full. – Psalm 127:3-5

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. – Jeremiah 1:5

On you I depend since birth; from my mother’s womb you are my strenth; my hope in you never wavers. – Psalm 71-6

You shall not kill. – Exodus 20:13

You formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother’s womb.
I praise you, so wonderfully you made me;
wonderful are your works!
My very self you knew;
my bones were not hidden from you,
When I was being made in secret,
fashioned as in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes foresaw my actions
in your book all are written down;
my days were shaped,
before one came to be. – Psalm 139:13-16

Can a mother forget her infant,
be without tenderness for the child of her womb?
Even should she forget,
I will never forget you. – Isaiah 49:15

1Cry out full-throated and unsparingly, lift up your voice like a trumpet blast; Tell my people their wickedness, and the house of Jacob their sins. 2They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, Like a nation that has done what is just and not abandoned the law of their God; They [...]

1Cry out full-throated and unsparingly, lift up your voice like a trumpet blast; Tell my people their wickedness, and the house of Jacob their sins. 2They seek me day after day, and desire to know my ways, Like a nation that has done what is just and not abandoned the law of their God; They ask me to declare what is due them, pleased to gain access to God. 3“Why do we fast, and you do not see it? afflict ourselves, and you take no note of it?” Lo, on your fast day you carry out your own pursuits, and drive all your laborers. 4Yes, your fast ends in quarreling and fighting, striking with wicked claw. Would that today you might fast so as to make your voice heard on high! 5Is this the manner of fasting I wish, of keeping a day of penance: That a man bow his head like a reed, and lie in sackcloth and ashes? Do you call this a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? 6This, rather, is the fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; Setting free the oppressed, breaking every yoke; 7Sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; Clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.

Today I will seek to only serve.
