Readings for Lent and Easter
6 So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.(A) 7 Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.(B)
8 Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour.(C) 9 Resist him, steadfast in faith, knowing that your fellow believers throughout the world undergo the same sufferings. 10 The God of all grace who called you to his eternal glory through Christ [Jesus] will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you after you have suffered a little.(D) 11 To him be dominion forever. Amen.
