God our creator,
we thank you for Anselm,
who believed so he could understand,
who pursued the truth
so he could know why you became a man.
May our treasure be stored with you.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - Peter's Travels

thumb

31Meanwhile, the church had peace throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria, and grew in strength and numbers. The believers learned how to walk in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

32Peter traveled from place to place to visit them,a and in his travels came to the believers in the town of Lydda. 33There he met a man named Aeneas, paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.

34Peter said to him, “Aeneas! Jesus Christ has healed you! Get up and make your bed.” And he was healed instantly. 35Then the whole population of Lydda and Sharon turned to the Lord when they saw Aeneas walking around.

Our Father,
save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.

God, we go into this night
confident that the dawn will break tomorrow;
grant that when we come to die,
we may go gladly and in hope,
confident in the resurrection.
Amen
