A Reading
|
|
|
|
The Apostle wrote, saying: “But when the kindness and love of God our Savior for
humanity were revealed it was not because of any upright actions we had done
ourselves; it was for no reason except his own faithful love that he saved us, by
means of the cleansing water of rebirth and renewal in the Holy Spirit which
he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our Savior; so that,
justified by his grace, we should become heirs in hope of eternal life. This is
doctrine that you can rely on.” |
|
Titus 3:4-8

The LORD has pleasure in those who fear him,* in those who await his gracious
favor. |

The Midday Psalm

|
Into Your Hands I Commend My Spirit
|
|
In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame;* deliver me in
your righteousness.
Incline your ear to me;* make haste to deliver me.
Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe, for you are my crag and my
stronghold;* for the sake of your Name, lead me and guide me.
Into your hands I commend my spirit,* for you have redeemed me, O LORD,
O God of truth. |
|

The Small Verse

|
Create in me a clean heart, O God,* and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence* and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again* and sustain me with your bountiful
spirit. |
|

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 merciful God, it is only by your gift that your faithful people offer

Amen.† |
