Psalm 38
I have caused my own downfall, people take advantage of me, and even friends have abandoned me. I remain silent because I hope in God. Help me, God!
1 Kings 9: 24—10:13 What’s Kings about?
Enormous wealth is given to King Solomon from around the world, giving praise to the God who has been faithful to the people
Mark 15: 1-11 What’s Mark about?
Jesus is interrogated by the Roman authority. The early Christians, moving into Roman society, had reason to portray the Roman governor in the best light. So Mark portrays Pilate is presented as being reluctant to execute Jesus, and does so only under pressure from the religious leaders.
This week’s collect:
Author and Giver of all good things,
graft in our hearts the love of your name,
increase in us true religion,
nourish us in all goodness,
and of your great mercy keep us in the same;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
