Gathering

Your kingdom come on earth as in heaven.
The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.
The world and all who live in it.
The Lord is the King of glory.
This world belongs to God!

From the beginning,
through all the crises of our times,
Until the kingdom fully comes,
This world belongs to God!

God is King: Let the earth be glad!
Christ is victor: his rule has begun!
The Spirit is at work: creation is renewed!
This world belongs to God!

Gospel Reading - Longing for Christ’s coming

31 A few minutes later some Pharisees said to him, "Get out of here if you want to live, for King Herod is after you!"

32 Jesus replied, "Go tell that fox that I will keep on casting out demons and doing miracles of healing today and tomorrow; and the third day I will reach my destination. 33 Yes, today, tomorrow, and the next day! For it wouldn't do for a Prophet of God to be killed except in Jerusalem!

34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem! The city that murders the prophets. The city that stones those sent to help her. How often I have wanted to gather your children together even as a hen protects her brood under her wings, but you wouldn't let me. 35 And now - now your house is left desolate. And you will never again see me until you say, 'Welcome to him who comes in the name of the Lord.' "

. . . . Luke 13:31-35

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.
