Prayer
Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - A good name is better than riches

1If you must choose, take a good name rather than great riches; for to be held in loving esteem is better than silver and gold.
2The rich and the poor are alike before the Lord who made them all.

4True humility and respect for the Lord lead a man to riches, honor, and long life.

8The unjust tyrant will reap disaster, and his reign of terror shall end.
9Happy is the generous man, the one who feeds the poor.
. . . . .Proverbs 22:1-2,4,8-9Intercession
