The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind:
As we rejoice in the gift of this day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - God's warning to Ezekiel
18If you refuse to warn the wicked when I want you to tell them, ‘You are under the penalty of death; therefore repent and save your life,’ they will die in their sins, but I will punish you. I will demand your blood for theirs. 19But if you warn them, and they keep on sinning and refuse to repent, they will die in their sins, but you are blameless — you have done all you could. 20And if a good man becomes bad, and you refuse to warn him of the consequences, and the Lord destroys him, his previous good deeds won’t help him—he shall die in his sin. But I will hold you responsible for his death and punish you. 21But if you warn him and he repents, he shall live, and you have saved your own life too.”
. . . . . Ezekiel 3:18-21Intercession
