Eternal God,

such readiness and delight in following Christ,
that whether our lives are short or long
we shall have lived abundantly.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - Forgive as God forgives

³¹Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives. ³²Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you because you belong to Christ.

5¹ Follow God’s example in everything you do just as a much loved child imitates his father. ²Be full of love for others, following the example of Christ who loved you and gave himself to God as a sacrifice to take away your sins. And God was pleased, for Christ’s love for you was like sweet perfume to him.

. . . . . Ephesians 4:31-5:2
