Jesus, you promise that when two or three of us
are gathered in your name, you will be there;
we praise you for Edith,
who left behind all that she loved
to found a community to serve in your name;
you have blessed her sisters greatly,
bless them now, we pray, and into the time ahead.
Amen.

Come now, Holy Spirit,
and open our hearts to hear God’s voice.
Come now, Word of God, and transform us.
New Testament Reading - Overcome evil with good
14If someone mistreats you because you are a Christian, don’t curse him; pray that God will bless him. 15When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. 16Work happily together. Don’t try to act big. Don’t try to get into the good graces of important people, but enjoy the company of ordinary folks. And don’t think you know it all!
17Never pay back evil for evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honest clear through. 18Don’t quarrel with anyone. Be at peace with everyone, just as much as possible.
19Dear friends, never avenge yourselves. Leave that to God, for he has said that he will repay those who deserve it. Don’t take the law into your own hands.a 20Instead, feed your enemy if he is hungry. If he is thirsty give him something to drink and you will be “heaping coals of fire on his head.” In other words, he will feel ashamed of himself for what he has done to you. 21Don’t let evil get the upper hand, but conquer evil by doing good.

Closing Prayer
Ruler of the everlasting kingdom,
Prince of peace,
champion of the despised:
You are the king;
You make a cross your throne;
You wear a crown of thorns;
You call your subjects friends.
Help us to take up our cross,
To hunger and thirst for all that is good;
Then will your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
Amen
