Sunday<\/p>\n
Luke 19:41 \u00a0 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, 42 \u00a0 saying, \u201cIf you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43For days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment around you, surround you and close you in on every side, 44and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation.\u201d<\/p>\n
John 12: 20-36 20 \u00a0 Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast. 21 \u00a0 Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, \u201cSir, we wish to see Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prayer:\u00a0 We adore Thee O Christ and we bless Thee, for by Thy Holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/p>\n
22 \u00a0 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus. 23 \u00a0 But Jesus answered them, saying, \u201cThe hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. 24Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 25He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor. 27\u201c Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? \u2018Father, save Me from this hour\u2019? But for this purpose I came to this hour. 28Father, glorify Your name.\u201d Then a voice came from heaven, saying, \u201cI have both glorified it and will glorify it again.\u201d 29 \u00a0 Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, \u201cAn angel has spoken to Him.\u201d 30 \u00a0 Jesus answered and said, \u201cThis voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake. 31Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out. 32And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all peoples to Myself.\u201d 33 \u00a0 This He said, signifying by what death He would die. 34 \u00a0 The people answered Him, \u201cWe have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever; and how can You say, \u2018The Son of Man must be lifted up\u2019? Who is this Son of Man?\u201d 35 \u00a0 Then Jesus said to them, \u201cA little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you\u00a0\u00a0how can You say, \u2018The Son of Man must be lifted up\u2019? Who is this Son of Man?\u201d 35 \u00a0 Then Jesus said to them, \u201cA little while longer the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you; he who walks in darkness does not know where he is going. 36While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.\u201d These things Jesus spoke, and departed, and was hidden from them.<\/p>\n

O Lord and Master of my life, a spirit of idleness, despondency, ambition, and idle talking give me not.<\/p>\n

Tuesday<\/p>\n
John 12:37 \u00a0 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 \u00a0 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201c Lord, who has believed our report? \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?\u201d* 39 \u00a0 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: \u00a0 \u00a0 40 \u201cHe has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Lest they should see with their eyes, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 So that I should heal them.\u201d* 41 \u00a0 These things Isaiah said when* he saw His glory and spoke of Him. 42 \u00a0 Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue; 43 \u00a0 for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. 44 \u00a0 Then Jesus cried out and said, \u201cHe who believes in Me, believes not in Me but in Him who sent\u00a0Me. 45And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 46I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. 47And if anyone hears My words and does not believe,* I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him\u2014 the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day. 49For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. 50And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prayer:<\/p>\n
But rather a spirit of chastity, humble-mindedness, patience, and love bestow upon me Thy servant.<\/p>\n
Yea, O Lord King, grant me to see my failings and not condemn my brother; for blessed art Thou unto the ages of ages. Amen.<\/p>\n
Wednesday<\/p>\n
Matthew 21:18 \u00a0 Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 \u00a0 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, \u201cLet no fruit grow on you ever again.\u201d Immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 \u00a0 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, \u201cHow did the fig tree wither away so soon?\u201d 21 \u00a0 So Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cAssuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, \u2018Be\u00a0removed and be cast into the sea,\u2019 it will be done. 22And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prayer:<\/p>\n
Yea, O Lord King, grant me to see my failings and not condemn my brother; for blessed art Thou unto the ages of ages. Amen.<\/p>\n

Thursday
\nMark 11:15 \u00a0 So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 16 \u00a0 And He would not allow anyone to carry wares through the temple. 17 \u00a0 Then He taught, saying to them, \u201cIs it not written, \u2018My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations\u2019?* But you have made it a \u2018den of thieves.\u2019 \u201d* 18 \u00a0 And the scribes and chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy Him; for they feared Him, because all the people were astonished at His teaching. 19 \u00a0 When evening had come, He went out of the city.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prayer:\u00a0 O Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. O Lord, blot out our sins. O Master, pardon our iniquities. O Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for Thy name’s sake.<\/p>\n
Friday<\/p>\n
Matthew 12:20 \u00a0 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 \u00a0 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, \u201cRabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.\u201d 22 \u00a0 So Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cHave faith in God. 23For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, \u2018Be removed and be cast into the sea,\u2019 and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. 25\u201c And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. 26But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses.\u201d*<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prayer:\u00a0 Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (3X)<\/p>\n
Saturday
\nLuke 20:1 \u00a0 Now it happened on one of those days, as He taught the people in the temple and preached the gospel, that the chief priests and the scribes, together with the elders, confronted Him 2 \u00a0 and spoke to Him, saying, \u201cTell us, by what authority are You doing these things? Or who is he who gave You this authority?\u201d 3 \u00a0 But He answered and said to them, \u201cI also will ask you one thing, and answer Me: 4The baptism of John\u2014 was it from heaven or from men?\u201d 5 \u00a0 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, \u201cIf we say, \u2018From heaven,\u2019 He will say, \u2018Why then* did you not believe him?\u2019 6 \u00a0 But if we say, \u2018From men,\u2019 all the people will stone us, for they are persuaded that John was a prophet.\u201d 7 \u00a0 So they answered that they did not know where it was from. 8 \u00a0 And Jesus said to them, \u201cNeither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.\u201d<\/p>\n
