Romans 2 : 1 - 11


1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,
whosoever thou art that judgest:
for wherein thou judgest another,
thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth
against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man,
that judgest them which do such things,
and doest the same,
that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;
not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself
wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for
glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious,
and do not obey the truth,
but obey unrighteousness,
indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish,
upon every soul of man that doeth evil,
of the Jew first,
and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace,
to every man that worketh good,
to the Jew first,
and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.




Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

From whom great promises are given for all humankind
and especially for your people,
we gather in your presence.
We rejoice before you,
for your promise is sure and your works will be revealed
to the glory of your name.
Grant us steadfast faith in the grace of Jesus Christ.
Grant us faith to hold firm,
and in spite of all evil to trust that you are ruling and
will set everything right.
Lord our God,
our Father,
we cry to you.
As the deer pants for refreshing water,
so in our time our souls cry out to you,
“[i]Our Father in heaven,
may your name be honored.
May your kingdom come.
May your will be done on earth as in heaven.”[/i]

Proverbs 17 : 21 - 28


21 He that begetteth a fool doeth it to his sorrow:
and the father of a fool hath no joy.
22 A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
23 A wicked man taketh a gift out of the bosom
to pervert the ways of judgment.
24 Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.
25 A foolish son is a grief to his father,
and bitterness to her that bare him.
26 Also to punish the just is not good,
nor to strike princes for equity.
27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words:
and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace,
is counted wise:
and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.




Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We thank you that you have given us atonement,
an atonement that delivers us from all evil,
from all that is temporal and perishable,
and that allows us even now to live in eternity.
Grant that many people become aware of the greatness
and freeing power of the redemption you have offered us.
May a people be born to you,
serving you with light in their hearts as they look to the future
coming of Jesus Christ.
Be with us,
strengthen us,
and protect us from all the deception on earth.
For we want to be your children and nothing else;
with our whole hearts we want to look always to you.”[/i]



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

[Charon]

Be with us. Strengthen us. Don't let evil be nigh our dwellings.

We need you Lord. In Jesus precious name, amen and amen/

Mark 8 : 29 - 38


29 And he saith unto them,
But whom say ye that I am?
And Peter answereth and saith unto him,
Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them,
that the Son of man must suffer many things,
and be rejected of the elders,
and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed,
and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly.
And Peter took him,
and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples,
he rebuked Peter, saying,
Get thee behind me, Satan:
for thou savourest not the things that be of God,
but the things that be of men.
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also,
he said unto them,
Whosoever will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross,
and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it;
but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's,
the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man,
if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words
in this adulterous and sinful generation;
of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.




Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

Dear Father in heaven,
we turn our hearts to you,
for you know all our need.
We turn to you,
for you are ready with your help when we are at our wit’s end.
You have paths we can follow joyfully because we have
a Lord who rules and who reigns over us to make us glad.
May we praise your name at all times.
May your help be always before our eyes so that we can be
your true children,
to the glory of your name on earth.”



In the Name of the Most Holy we

1 Kings 8 : 53 - 60


53 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth,
to be thine inheritance,
as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant,
when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt,
O Lord God.
54 And it was so,
that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer
and supplication unto the Lord,
he arose from before the altar of the Lord,
from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
55 And he stood,
and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 Blessed be the Lord,
that hath given rest unto his people Israel,
according to all that he promised:
there hath not failed one word of all his good promise,
which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers:
let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
58 That he may incline our hearts unto him,
to walk in all his ways,
and to keep his commandments,
and his statutes,
and his judgments,
which he commanded our fathers.
59 And let these my words,
wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord,
be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night,
that he maintain the cause of his servant,
and the cause of his people Israel at all times,
as the matter shall require:
60 That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God,
and that there is none else.




Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We thank you for having revealed yourself on this earth
in the midst of sin, need, and oppression.
We thank you that we can have joy in all you have done
both before and since the coming of Jesus Christ,
our Savior in everything.
To you be praise and thanks.
Our hearts leap up with joy in you and in your deeds.
Grant that we may be faithful to the end,
victorious in all things through your Spirit,
who helps and blesses us on our way.
Grant your help to all who call to you
and who long to rejoice in you.”



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen

[Charon]

Grant Your help to all whom call upon you...whom rejoice in you...In Jesus name amen and amen.

Psalm 31 : 17 - 24


17 Let me not be ashamed, O Lord;
for I have called upon thee:
let the wicked be ashamed,
and let them be silent in the grave.
18 Let the lying lips be put to silence;
which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Oh how great is thy goodness,
which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee;
which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man:
thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Blessed be the Lord:
for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22 For I said in my haste,
I am cut off from before thine eyes:
nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 O love the Lord,
all ye his saints:
for the Lord preserveth the faithful,
and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen your heart,
all ye that hope in the Lord.




Today's Prayer...


Lord God,

We turn our faces to you and plead with you to come to us
earthly and often tormented people.
May we find strength in the Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom redemption is promised to us all.
May your kingdom at last be revealed and everything change
for the better even though we do not see it yet.
May we always honor your name above all others,
for you are our Father and we want to hold fast to your grace
that lets us call you Father. In our troubled times we want to
have enduring faith that you can bring a new time when good
shall at last emerge from all the distress.
Grant that every broken and needy person may experience your help,
your grace,
and your salvation,
and may know that these always surround us,
if only our eyes are open to see and recognize them.
So we want to thank and praise you at all times,
and at last know the joy of eternity,
to your glory and honor.”



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
