Text for Lectio Divina is from our Lectionary for the 9th Sunday after Pentecost:
Common English Version, + bit of inclusive language
Luke 12:32-40
32 “Don’t be afraid, little flock, because your (Creator) delights in giving you the kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give to those in need. Make for yourselves wallets that don’t wear out—a treasure in heaven that never runs out. No thief comes near there, and no moth destroys. 34 Where your treasure is, there your heart will be too.
35 “Be dressed for service and keep your lamps lit. 36 Be like people waiting for their master to come home from a wedding celebration, who can immediately open the door for (them) when (they) arrive and knock on the door. 37 Happy are those servants whom the master finds waiting up when (they) arrive. I assure you that, when (they) arrive, (they) will dress (theirself) to serve, seat them at the table as honored guests, and wait on them. 38 Happy are those whom (they) find alert, even if (they) come at midnight or just before dawn. 39 But know this, if the homeowner had known what time the thief was coming, (she) wouldn’t have allowed (her) home to be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Human One is coming at a time when you don’t expect (God).”
