A Reading
|
|
|
|
Jesus taught us, saying: “Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be
condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and there will be gifts for
you: a full measure, pressed down, shaken together, and overflowing, will be
poured into your lap; because the standard you use will be the standard used
for you.” |
|
Luke 6:36-38

We Walk, O LORD, in the Light of Your Presence
|
|
Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne;* love and truth go
before your face.
Happy are the people who know the festal shout!* they walk, O LORD, in the light
of your presence.
They rejoice daily in your Name;* they are jubilant in your righteousness.
For you are the glory of their strength,* and by your favor our might is exalted.
Truly, the LORD is our ruler;* the Holy One of Israel is our King. |

O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of
the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, I may purify myself as he is pure; that, when he comes again
with power and great glory, I may be made like him in his eternal and glorious
kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for
ever and ever. Amen.† |

through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
