AM Psalm 50 PM Psalm 59, 60 or 33
Zech. 4:1-14
Rev. 4:9-5:5
Matt. 25:1-13
This in from Bp Greg Rickel of the Diocese of Olympia, who posts a story from Rev. John Helmiere:

Part of what he says is :
I participated because I have witnessed overwhelming evidence that the
economic and political systems of my country stand against those people
who the God I worship stands for. My conception of God, inadequate as
it may be, is better described as the Love that generates creativity and
community, than as a super-man judging us from a heavenly skybox. Such
a God cannot be exclusively claimed by a political party, a religion,
or even a movement like Occupy. Such a Love contrasts with everything
that reserves power, dignity, wealth, and the status of full humanity
for some while depriving it from others. My commitment to Love requires
me to challenge the increasing consolidation of all these good things
in the hands of a few, and to collaborate for the creation of something
that Love would recognize as kin.
