Book of Genesis

The LORD said to Abram: "Go forth from the land of your kinsfolk and from your father's house to a land that I will show you.
I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the communities of the earth shall find blessing in you."
Abram went as the LORD directed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
Abram took his wife Sarai, his brother's son Lot, all the possessions that they had accumulated, and the persons they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
Abram passed through the land as far as the sacred place at Shechem, by the terebinth of Moreh. (The Canaanites were then in the land.)
The LORD appeared to Abram and said, "To your descendants I will give this land." So Abram built an altar there to the LORD who had appeared to him.
From there he moved on to the hill country east of Bethel, pitching his tent with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar there to the LORD and invoked the LORD by name.
Then Abram journeyed on by stages to the Negeb.

Psalms

Blessed the nation whose God is the LORD,
the people he has chosen for his own inheritance.
From heaven the LORD looks down;
He sees all mankind.
See, the eyes of the LORD are upon those who fear him,
upon those who hope for his kindness,
To deliver them from death
and preserve them in spite of famine.
Our soul waits for the LORD,
who is our help and our shield,
May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us
who have put our hope in you.

Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew

Jesus said to his disciples: "Stop judging, that you may not be judged.
For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?
How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?
You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye."

St. Etheldreda(Abbess (7th century))

SAINT ETHELDREDAAbbess(7th century) St. Etheldreda's mother and three sisters are also saints. She desired religious life, but obediently married Tonbercht, a tributary of the Mercian king. She lived with him as a virgin for three years. After his passing, she retired to the Isle of Ely. Etheldreda's peaceful contemplation was interrupted when the king of Northumbria, Egfrid, forced her into a second marriage. Her life at his court was ascetical. She lived as his sister and not his wife. Twelve years later, she retired to Coldingham Abbey with Egfrid's consent. She lived under the rule of St. Ebba and received the veil from St. Wilfrid. King Egfrid reneged on his promise and attempted retake Etheldreda. She took refuge on a headland near the Coldingham coast when a miracle occurred. The waters forced themselves around Etheldreda's hill and barred Egfrid's advance. After seven days, Egfrid recognized the divine will and left Etheldreda in peace. In 672, Etheldreda returned to Ely and founded a double monastery. As its abbess, she was the living embodiment of the Good Shepherd. Her body was found incorrupt years after her death in 679. St. Bede recorded many miracles at her tomb.
