Evening Prayer With Bob episodes

  • Saturday, May 2
    As the deer longs for the water-brooks, *
    so longs my soul for you, O God.
    My soul is athirst for God, athirst for the living God; *
    when shall I come to appear before the presence of God? ~ Psalm 42:1-2 (NRSV)

    Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, “He will command his angels concerning you”, and “On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.”

    Jesus said to him, ‘Again it is written, “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.” ’ ~ Matthew 4:5-7

    "I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *

    I will tell of all your marvelous works.
    I will be glad and rejoice in you; *
    I will sing to your Name, O Most High." Psalm 9:1-2 (NRSV)

    This evening's readings include Matthew's recounting of the geneology of Jesus, from Abraham, through Joseph and Mary. This painstaking passage establishes from the very beginning of the New Testament that Christ and his church are heirs with the children of Israel to the covenant made all those centuries ago. We will be God's people, and he will be our God.

  • Saturday Bonus: St Mark the Evangelist

    In this episode, we'll spend some time with the mysterious and often difficult St Mark whose identity hard to pin down, but whose gospel is the story of Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Man, characterized by compassion and action. 

    The portrait of St Mark and his symbol, the lion is by Giovanni Antonio de’ Sacchis, also known as Il Pordenone.
