Morning:
Perfect through sufferings.
My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye
here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell
on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible,
let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as
thou wilt. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly:
and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down
to the ground.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat
hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. Reproach hath broken
my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to
take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found
none. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was
no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my
soul.
He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and
acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from
him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Evening:
The LORD made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that in them is.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork. By the word of the LORD were the heavens
made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. For
he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted
as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles
as a very little thing.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by
the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of
things which do appear.
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; what is man, that
thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest
him?
