a reading and a prayer

For today I have a reading and a prayer:

This morning As I was praying the office I was struck by the reading of the day from Ephesians 4:29-32

"Never let evil talk pass your lips; say only the good things men need to hear, things that will really help them. Do nothing that will sadden the Holy Spirit with whom you were sealed against the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, all passion and anger, harsh words, slander, and malice of every kind. In place of these, be kind to one another, compassionate, and mutually forgiving, just as God has forgiven you in Christ."


A prayer:
"Breathe on Me, O Holy Spirit
that my thoughts may be holy

Act in me O Holy SPirit
that my work may be holy

Draw my heart, O Holy SPirit
to defend all that is Holy

Guard me then O Holy SPirit
that I always may be holy."
