A Reading
|
|
|
|
Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘In truth I tell you, it is hard for someone rich to
enter the kingdom of Heaven. Yes, I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of a needle than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of
Heaven.’ When the disciples heard this they were astonished. ‘Who can be
saved, then?’ they said. Jesus gazed at them. ‘By human resources,’ he told
them, ‘this is impossible; for God everything is possible.’ |
|
Matthew 19:23-26

The Morning Psalm
|
|
Proclaim the Greatness of Our God
|
|
Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God and fall down before his footstool;* he
is the Holy One.
Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his
Name,* they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud;* they kept his testimonies and the
decree that he gave them.
O LORD our God, you answered them indeed;* you were a God who forgave them,
yet punished them for their evil deeds.
Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God and worship him upon his holy hill;*
for the LORD our God is the Holy One. |

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.

forever and ever. Amen. |

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant

given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.† |

through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
