A Reading
|
|
|
|
The word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of
faith, the faith which we preach, that if you declare with your mouth that Jesus
is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead,
then you will be saved. It is by believing with the heart that you are justified,
and by making the declaration with your lips that you are saved. |

I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;* I will praise my God while I have my

Such Is the Generation of Those Who Seek Him
|
|
The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it,* the world and all who dwell therein.
For it is he who founded it upon the seas* and made it firm upon the rivers of the
deep.
“Who can ascend the hill of the LORD?* and who can stand in his holy place?”
“Those who have clean hands and a pure heart,* who have not pledged themselves
to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud.
They shall receive a blessing from the LORD* and a just reward from the God of
their salvation.”
Such is the generation of those who seek him,* of those who seek your face, O God
of Jacob. |

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
May your kingdom come, and 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.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen. |

Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your wellbeloved
Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples
of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought
together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.† |

Almighty and everlasting God, who kindled the flame of love in the heart of your
holy martyr Andrew: Grant to me your humble servant, a faith and power of
love, that I who rejoice in his triumph may profit by his example; through Jesus
Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen.†
Direct me, O Lord, in all my doings with your most gracious favor, and further me
with your continual help; that in all my work begun, continued, and ended in
you, I may glorify your holy name, and finally, by your mercy, obtain everlasting
life; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
