In my flesh I will see God: Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost

Dear friends,

Advent begins on November 27 and I’ve been happily preparing the 29 meditations to arrive in your inbox each day for the entire season. If you or someone you know would enjoy accessing the Daybook Meditations in a one-time .pdf download, it’s now available for $7 in my shop: Advent Daybook 2022.

Feel free to send any questions my way!

Welcome to the weekly Ordinary Time Daybook devotional post for the 24 weeks between Pentecost and Advent. Ordinary Time is the longest season of the church calendar - a season of working and resting with Christ as he brings God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. 

You can read here for a brief description of the liturgical season of Ordinary Time.

PRAY: Collect for Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost, the Book of Common Prayer

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

DO: Today’s Old Testament passage includes one of the most profound prophecies of Christ’s resurrection. Even though Tuesday, November 1 was the Feast of All Saints, some churches will recognize today as All Saints Sunday. I’m including the links I shared last week in case you’d like to see them again. If nothing else, read Read Malcolm Guite’s sonnet: All Saints.

What saints, known to the world or only to you and God, are you thankful for today? I'd love to hear about them in the comment section.
