“Remember He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can’t see it. So quietly submit to be painted, i.e., keep fulfilling all the obvious duties of your station (you really know quite well enough what they are!), asking forgiveness for each failure and then leaving it alone. You are in the right way. Walk. Don’t keep on looking at it.” C.S. Lewis

The Scripture Readings
12
Therefore, since we have such hope, we use great boldness of speech-
13
unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away.
14
But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ.
15
But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.
16
Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
18
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
1
Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.
2
He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
3
And He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.
4
Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart.
5
And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.
6
So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
