THIRD F RIDAY NehemiahSymbol:Walls o JerusalemReadings:Nehemiah 2, excerpts

The king asked me, Why do you look sad? I you are not sick, you must be sad atheart. Though I was seized with great ear,I answered the king: May the king live

orever! How could I not look sad when thecity where my ancestors are buried lies inruins, and its gates have been eaten out by fre?

The king asked me, What is it, then,that you wish? I prayed to the God o heaven and then answered the king: I it

please the king, and i your servant is deserv-ing o your avor, send me to Judah, to thecity o my ancestors graves, to rebuild it....

When I had arrived in Jerusalem, I frstrested there or three days. Then I set out by night with only a ew other men ( or I hadnot told anyone what my God had inspired

me to do or Jerusalem) and with no otheranimals but my own mount...

A terward I said to them: You see theevil plight in which we stand: how Jerusalemlies in ruins and its gates have been gut-ted by fre. Come, let us rebuild the wall o

Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be anobject o derision!

Then I explained to them how theavoring hand o my God had rested upon

me, and what the king had said to me. They replied, Let us be up and building! Andthey undertook the good work with vigor.

or you there is to be neither share nor claimnor memorial in Jerusalem.
