God's Chosen One
There shall come forth a shoot
from the stump of Jesse:
and a branch shall grow out of its roots,
and the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him:
the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of counsel and might:
the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
New Testament Reading - Your lives will produce good news
9So ever since we first heard about you we have kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what he wants you to do; asking him to make you wise about spiritual things; 10and asking that the way you live will always please the Lord and honor him, so that you will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time you are learning to know God better and better.
11We are praying, too, that you will be filled with his mighty, glorious strength so that you can keep going no matter what happens — always full of the joy of the Lord, 12and always thankful to the Father who has made us fit to share all the wonderful things that belong to those who live in the Kingdom of light.
. . . . .Colossians 1:9-12Intercession

Have mercy, O Lord, upon us,

Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Give justice to the orphan and the oppressed
and break the power of wickedness and evil.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.
Lord, hear our prayer
and answer us in your righteousness.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Amen.
