Ordinary Holiness

Canon EOS 350D, Lensbaby

"Yahweh spoke to Moses and said, 'Speak to the entire assembly of the people of Israel and say to them: Be holy for I, Yahweh, your God, am holy.

"Do not steal or lie or deceive one another. Do not swear falsely by my name so as to profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.

"Do not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired man are not to remain with you all night until morning. You shall not curse a deaf man nor put a stumbling block in the way of the blind; but you shall fear your God; I am Yahweh.

"Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality tot he poor nor bow to to the great; you are to judge your neighbor fairly so as not to share in his guild. Do not go about as a slanderer of your people an do not seek the death of your neighbor; I am Yahweh.

"Do not hate your brother in your heart; rebuke your enighbor frankly so as not to share in his guilt. Do not seek revenge or nurture a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself; I am Yahweh."

LEVITICUS 19:1-2,11-18

"May our ordinary lives show Your glory, O Lord."
