Jesus,
you called your followers friends,
blessed are you in Ini Kopuria,
who worked in a spirit of true brotherhood among his people.
Bind us together as one family,
and our work will not be in vain.
Amen.

New Testament Reading - Sound teaching

thumb

11For the free gift of eternal salvation is now being offered to everyone; 12and along with this gift comes the realization that God wants us to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures and to live good, God-fearing lives day after day, 13looking forward to that wonderful time we’ve been expecting, when his glory shall be seen — the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. 14He died under God’s judgment against our sins so that he could rescue us from constant falling into sin and make us his very own people, with cleansed hearts and real enthusiasm for doing kind things for others. 15You must teach these things and encourage your people to do them, correcting them when necessary as one who has every right to do so. Don’t let anyone think that what you say is not important.

. . . . . Titus 2:11-15

Prayer

Our Father,
save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.

Giver of the present, hope for the future:
save us from the time of trial.
When prophets warn us of doom,
of catastrophe and of suffering beyond belief,
then, God, free us from our helplessness,
and deliver us from evil.
Save us from our arrogance and folly,
for you are God who created the world;
you have redeemed us and you are our salvation.
Amen

The Blessing

May God kindle in us the fire of love.
Amen.
