In my post this morning I reflected on the lessons appointed for the Thursday after Proper 23, having completely missed the fact that today is actually the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist.
Perhaps if the Calendar in the front of the Book of Common Prayer still printed the Major Feasts in red (the origin of the term “red-letter days) I might have caught it. The current prayer book (see above) is a bit more subtle.
I probably wouldn’t have caught it, anyway, since my early-morning, barely-caffeinated routine has me turning first to the bookmarked Daily Office Lectionary, 961 pages away from the Calendar page for October, and then marking psalms and readings with the appropriate ribbons.
Oh well, there’s always Evening Prayer. I’ll have a chance to erase the black mark soon enough.

St. Luke’s Day is also my birthday, so I insist that mistakes like this be made right. I think you owe St. Luke and me one Morning Prayer!
Love it!
OK, how about I throw in an extra Daily Devotion tomorrow morning and supplement Evening Prayer tonight with special birthday intentions?
Hope you’re having a great day!
