Today's Reading of the day... (daily double)

Some days you get a reading that just hits home. Today, on the Feast of the birth of St. John the Baptizer.. it was such a day.

Reading of the day...

Isaiah 49:4
Though I thought I had toiled in vain, and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength, Yet my reward is with the LORD, my recompense is with my God.

And for the Daily Double.. the next verse

Isaiah 49:5
For now the LORD has spoken who formed me as his servant from the womb, That Jacob may be brought back to him and Israel gathered to him; And I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD, and my God is now my strength!

Peace (and Strength) to you all today
