Exodus 34

Again Moses went up the mountain and stood before God.

God described himself: "I am the Lord,
a God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger,
rich in kindness and faithfulness.
"

When Moses came down from the mountain
the skin on his face was radiant
after speaking with God.

Dear God, we praise your tenderness and compassion


Psalm 104

Bless the Lord, my soul!
Lord God, how great you are.

You make the clouds your chariot.
You walk on the wings of the wind.

You make springs gush forth in the valleys.
They give drink to all the animals of the field.

You make grass grow for the cattle
and plants to provide food for people.

You give us  wine, to cheer our hearts
and oil to make our faces shine.

You made the moon to mark the months.
The sun knows the time for its setting.

How many are your works, O Lord.
In wisdom you have made them all.

The earth is full of your riches
and the sea is swarming with life.

All things, great and small, look to you for food.
You open your hand, they have their fill.

You send forth your spirit, and life is created.
You renew the face of the earth.

I will sing to the Lord all my life.
May my thoughts be pleasing to him.

Bless the Lord, my soul!


Acts 27

Navigation at that time of the year was dangerous, since winter was starting. 
But the ship's captain set sail hoping to reach Phoenix, a harbor in Crete

Suddenly a fierce storm began and the ship could not be turned head-on to the wind. We had to let ourselves be driven by the wind

The ship was badly damaged by the storm. 
On the second day, the cargo was dumped overboard

For several days both sun stars were invisible as  the storm raged.
We lost all hope of surviving

Jesus, help sailors who are in danger at sea today


Matthew 26

Peter went to the place where the religious leaders had Jesus on trial.
A young woman in the courtyard of the place  said to him
"You are a friend of the Galilean".

In front of the woman and people around her
Peter said "I don't know what you're talking about".

Peter went to the gateway of the place, where another woman said to people around her "This man is a friend of the Galilean".
Peter replied strongly "I don't know the man".

Not long after this a group of people said to Peter
"You are his friend. We can tell by your Galilean accent".

Then Peter even more strongly replied "I do not know the man".

At that very moment, a rooster crowed.
Peter remembered Jesus' words
"Before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times".
Peter went outside and wept loudly.

Jesus, please help me not to deny you
