    \nJEREMIAH 18.1-11<\/summary>\n

    The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord : Come, go down to
    \nthe potters house, and there I will let you hear my words. So I went
    \ndown to the potters house, and there he was working at his wheel.
    \nThe vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potters hand,
    \nand he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him. Then
    \nthe word of the Lord came to me: Can I not do with you, O house
    \nof Israel, just as this potter has done? says the Lord . Just like the
    \nclay in the potters hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
    \nAt one moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom,
    \nthat I will pluck up and break down and destroy it, but if that
    \nnation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will
    \nchange my mind about the disaster that I intended to bring on it.
    \nAnd at another moment I may declare concerning a nation or a
    \nkingdom that I will build and plant it, but if it does evil in my sight,
    \nnot listening to my voice, then I will change my mind about the
    \ngood that I had intended to do to it. Now, therefore, say to the
    \npeople of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus says the
    \nLord : Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you and devising a
    \nplan against you. Turn now, all of you from your evil way, and
    \namend your ways and your doings.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \nPSALM 139.15, 139.12-18<\/summary>\n

    O Lord, you have searched me out and known me:
    \nyou know when I sit or when I stand,
    \nyou comprehend my thoughts long before.
    \n2 You discern my path and the places where I rest:
    \nyou are acquainted with all my ways.
    \n3 For there is not a word on my tongue:
    \nbut you, Lord, know it altogether.
    \n4 You have encompassed me behind and before:
    \nand have laid your hand upon me.
    \n5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me:
    \nso high that I cannot endure it.
    \n12 For you have created my inward parts:
    \nyou knit me together in my mothers womb.
    \n13 I will praise you, for you are to be feared:
    \nfearful are your acts, and wonderful your works.
    \n14 You knew my soul,
    \nand my bones were not hidden from you:
    \nwhen I was formed in secret,
    \nand woven in the depths of the earth.
    \n15 Your eyes saw my limbs when they were yet imperfect:
    \nand in your book were all my members written;
    \n16 Day by day they were fashioned:
    \nand not one was late in growing.
    \n17 How deep are your thoughts to me, O God:
    \nand how great is the sum of them!
    \n18 Were I to count them,
    \nthey are more in number than the sand:
    \nwere I to come to the end, I would still be with you.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \nPHILEMON 1.1-25<\/summary>\n

    Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,To
    \nPhilemon our dear friend and co=worker, to Apphia our sister, to
    \nArchippus our fellow=soldier, and to the church in your house:
    \nGrace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus
    \nChrist. When I remember you in my prayers, I always thank my
    \nGod because I hear of your love for all the saints and your faith
    \ntowards the Lord Jesus. I pray that the sharing of your faith may
    \nbecome effective when you perceive all the good that we may do for
    \nChrist. I have indeed received much joy and encouragement from
    \nyour love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed
    \nthrough you, my brother. For this reason, though I am bold enough
    \nin Christ to command you to do your duty, yet I would rather
    \nappeal to you on the basis of loveand I, Paul, do this as an old man,
    \nand now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus. I am appealing to you
    \nfor my child, Onesimus, whose father I have become during my
    \nimprisonment. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he is indeed
    \nuseful both to you and to me. I am sending him, that is, my own
    \nheart, back to you. I wanted to keep him with me, so that he might
    \nbe of service to me in your place during my imprisonment for the
    \ngospel; but I preferred to do nothing without your consent, in order
    \nthat your good deed might be voluntary and not something forced.
    \nPerhaps this is the reason he was separated from you for a while, so
    \nthat you might have him back for ever, no longer as a slave but as
    \nmore than a slave, a beloved brotherespecially to me but how much
    \nmore to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. So if you consider me
    \nyour partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has
    \nwronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my
    \naccount. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand: I will repay it.
    \nI say nothing about your owing me even your own self. Yes, brother,
    \nlet me have this benefit from you in the Lord! Refresh my heart in
    \nChrist. Confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing
    \nthat you will do even more than I say. One thing moreprepare a
    \nguest room for me, for I am hoping through your prayers to be
    \nrestored to you. Epaphras, my fellow=prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends
    \ngreetings to you, and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke,
    \nmy fellow=workers. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your
    \nspirit.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

    \nLUKE 14.25-35<\/summary>\n

    On one occasion when Jesus was going to the house of a leader of
    \nthe Pharisees to eat a meal on the sabbath, they were watching him
    \nclosely. When he noticed how the guests chose the places of honour,
    \nhe told them a parable. When you are invited by someone to a
    \nwedding banquet, do not sit down at the place of honour, in case
    \nsomeone more distinguished than you has been invited by your host;
    \nand the host who invited both of you may come and say to you,
    \nGive this person your place, and then in disgrace you would start to
    \ntake the lowest place. But when you are invited, go and sit down at
    \nthe lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you,
    \nFriend, move up higher; then you will be honoured in the presence of
    \nall who sit at the table with you. For all who exalt themselves will
    \nbe humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. He
    \nsaid also to the one who had invited him, When you give a luncheon
    \nor a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your
    \nrelatives or rich neighbours, in case they may invite you in return,
    \nand you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the
    \npoor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed,
    \nbecause they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the
    \nresurrection of the righteous.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/details>\n

    \ndied in recent days, we also recall with love and affection those whose
    \nanniversary of death occurs at this time.<\/p>\n
