Then I said, “I will appeal to this,
to the years of the right hand of the Most High.”
11 I will remember the deeds of the Lord;
yes, I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will ponder all your work,
and meditate on your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy.
What god is great like our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;
you have made known your might among the peoples.
15 You with your arm redeemed your people,
the children of Jacob and Joseph. Selah
Lord, have mercy; Christ, have mercy; Lord, have mercy. Amen.

Society of St. John the Evangelist
(Boston) during Advent and just discovered their Lent offering, a daily practice themed to the rhythm of Stop.Pray.Work.Play.Love. Good, simple practices for our Lenten journey.*
