Prayer
God, you know better than we
the temptations that will bring us down.
Grant that our love for you may protect us
from all foolish and corrupting desire.
Amen.
Gospel Reading - To all people everywhere
16Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had said they would find him. 17There they met him and worshiped him — but some of them weren’t sure it really was Jesus!
18He told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and earth. 19Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations,a baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you; and be sure of this — that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”b
. . . . .Matthew 28:16-20The 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.
