Ok, so heres the deal for the morning
1. You pray the Sign of the Cross
2. You offer God your day
This just means that you tell Him everything that¹s coming up that you know
of, then you say take all that I think, do, and say and I unite it all with
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass" So this way your small sacrifices are being
united to His all-powerful and saving sacrifice on Calvary.
3. You read the Bible Passage. Then pause for like a minute or two.
4. Ask yourself 2 Questions:
a. What is the keyword or theme of this passage?
b. What does this have to do with me?
Psalm 23: 1-6
The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and loving kindness will follow me all the days of my
life,
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
At the end of the day, before you go to bed
Ask yourself 2 Questions:
1. How did God love me today?
2. How did I love God today

What stood out to me the most is "He MAKES me lie down in green pastures." It shows me that we may not always think to do what God wants us to do; He might have to make us do the right thing sometimes but it is so worth it. So when unexpeted situations come our way, and the harder path leads to the better end, we should ask God to help us on our way down that one. Wow, the longer Lent goes on the more I can see stuff in these passages... that's interesting.
Wow! I must have read/heard this passage about a thousand times in my life, and I never quite thought about it that way. Cool insight!! Thanks for sharing! :D
