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 - Elijah, the prophet to come

thumb

2“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. 3Then you will tread upon the wicked as ashes underfoot,” says the Lord Almighty. 4“Remember to obey the laws I gave all Israel through Moses my servant on Mount Horeb.

5“See, I will send you another prophet like Elijaha before the coming of the great and dreadful judgment day of God. 6His preaching will bring fathers and children together again, to be of one mind and heart, for they will know that if they do not repent, I will come and utterly destroy their land.”

. . . . .Malachi 4:2-6
  1. Literally, “the prophet Elijah.” Compare Matthew 17:10-12 and Luke 1:17.
