Liturgical Season: 
VII The Season of Sleebo

2 Thes 3:1-5

Request for Prayers. 1Finally, brothers, pray for us, so that the word of the Lord may speed forward and be glorified, as it did among you,a 2and that we may be delivered from perverse and wicked people, for not all have faith. 3But the Lord is faithful; he will strengthen you and guard you from the evil one.b 4We are confident of you in the Lord that what we instruct you, you [both] are doing and will continue to do.c 5May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.

Lk 11:33-36

The Simile of Light. 33“No one who lights a lamp hides it away or places it [under a bushel basket], but on a lampstand so that those who enter might see the light.q 34The lamp of the body is your eye.r When your eye is sound, then your whole body is filled with light, but when it is bad, then your body is in darkness. 35Take care, then, that the light in you not become darkness. 36If your whole body is full of light, and no part of it is in darkness, then it will be as full of light as a lamp illuminating you with its brightness.”
