George Herbert "The Elixir"

A 16th-century poem I didn't have time to read in class today:

Teach me, my God and King,

         In all things Thee to see,

And what I do in anything

         To do it as for Thee.

[...]

A servant with this clause

         Makes drudgery divine:

Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws,

         Makes that and th' action fine.

See the entire poem here.

Philippians

On Sunday, November 8 Michaela will lead a discussion on the letter to the Philippians.

Note that Philippians 2:6-11 is a hymn that Paul transcribes and that some commentators believe is the oldest text in the New Testament, composed just after Christ's resurrection.
