Day 1 of 40

Gospel of Mark: Mark 1:1–13

1Stop

“Speak, Lord; for your servant hears.”

1 Sam 3:9. Or simply be silent for a few seconds before reading.

1 The beginning of the Good News of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God.

2 As it is written in Isaiah the prophet, "Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make ready the way of the Lord! Make his paths straight!'"

4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins.

5 All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins.

6 John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey.

7 He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.

8 I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

9 It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

11 A voice came out of the sky, "You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased."

12 Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness.

13 He was there in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals; and the angels were serving him.

1 The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.

6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the Lord's house forever.

The Lord’s Prayer · Matt 6:9–13

9 Pray like this: 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

10 Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
