Epistle Reflection

You O Most Mighty have done great things for me:
and holy is your name.
You have mercy on those who fear you:
from generation to generation.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - I yearn for you all

thumb

3All my prayers for you are full of praise to God! 4When I pray for you, my heart is full of joy 5because of all your wonderful help in making known the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. 6And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns.

7How natural it is that I should feel as I do about you, for you have a very special place in my heart. We have shared together the blessings of God, both when I was in prison and when I was out, defending the truth and telling others about Christ. 8 Only God knows how deep is my love and longing for you—with the tenderness of Jesus Christ. 9My prayer for you is that you will overflow more and more with love for others, and at the same time keep on growing in spiritual knowledge and insight, 10for I want you always to see clearly the difference between right and wrong, and to be inwardly clean, no one being able to criticize you from now until our Lord returns. 11May you always be doing those good, kind things that show you are a child of God, for this will bring much praise and glory to the Lord.

Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love,

and by your great might,
spare those who are condemned to die.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.
Lord, give strength to your people,
and give us your blessing of peace.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
