The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

May you recognize the holy in your midst this week,
and be a place for it to dwell.

For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
