     Jonah 3: 1 - 10

    The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time:  "Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the message that I will tell you."  So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the Lord's bidding.  Now Nineveh was an enoumously large city; it took three days to go through it.  Jonah began his journey through the city, and had gone but a single day's walk announcing, "Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed,"  when the people of Nineveh believed God, they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sack cloth.

  When the News reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in the ashes.  Then he had this proclaimed throughout Neneveh, by decree of the king and his nobles:  "Neither man nor beast, neither cattle nor sheep, shall taste anything; they shall not eat, nor shall they drink water.  Man and beast shall be covered with sackcloth and call loudly to God; every man shall turn from his evil way and from the violence he has in hand.  Who knows, God may relent and forgive, and withhold his blazing wrath, so that we shall not perish."  When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.


Psalms 130: 1 - 4, 7 - 8

   Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice!  Let your ears be attentive to my voice in supplication: If you, O Lord, mark iniquities, Lord, who can stand?  But with you is forgivness, that you may be revered.

  Let Israel wait for the Lord, for with the Lord is kindness and with him is plenteous redemption; and he will redeem Israel from all their iniquities.


Luke 10: 38 - 42

   On their journey Jesus entered a village where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her home.  She had a sister named Mary, who seated herself at the Lord's feet and listened to his words.  Martha, who was busy with all the details of hospitality, came to him and said. "Lord, are you not concerned that my sister has left me to do the household tasks all alone?  Tell her to help me."

   The Lord in reply said to her: "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and upset about many things; one thing only is required.  Mary has chosen the better portion and she shall not be deprived of it."
