for mercy shall be shown to them.
Blessèd are those whose hearts are pure:
for they shall see God.
Blessèd are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called God’s children.

for the cause of right:
for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
Gospel Reading - Waiting for the master
35“Be prepared—all dressed and ready — 36for your Lord’s return from the wedding feast. Then you will be ready to open the door and let him in the moment he arrives and knocks. 37There will be great joy for those who are ready and waiting for his return. He himself will seat them and put on a waiter’s uniform and serve them as they sit and eat! 38He may come at nine o’clock at night — or even at midnight. But whenever he comes, there will be joy for his servants who are ready!
39“Everyone would be ready for him if they knew the exact hour of his return — just as they would be ready for a thief if they knew when he was coming. 40So be ready all the time. For I, the Messiah,a will come when least expected.”
. . . . .Luke 12:35-40- Literally, “the Son of Man.”
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
