COLLECT OF THE DAY
O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Some people, in order to discover God, read books. But there is a great book, the very appearance of created things. Look above you! Look below you! Note it. Read it. God, whom you want to discover, never wrote that book with ink. Instead God set before your eyes the things that God had made. Can you ask for a louder voice than that?
Augustine of Hippo, 5th century |

One Day Tells Its Tale to Another
The heavens declare the glory of God,* and the firmament shows his handiwork.
One day tells its tale to another,* and one night imparts knowledge to another.
Although they have no words or language,* and their voices are not heard,
Their sound has gone out into all the lands,* and their message to the ends of the world.
In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun;* it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again;* nothing is hidden from its burning heat. Psalm 19:1-6
