Psalm 88 |

You are my savior for I am in trouble;

I am lost but you will find me;

I am in the pit - are you mad at me -

I feel I am in prison, please save me!

I will proclaim your name forever.

2 Timothy 3 | Paul shares with his partner in ministry of the faith the of Jesus

In the last days, distressing time will come;

They will focus only themselves and their sin; they are corrupt and have a counterfeit faith;

See my example even despite persecutions I have kept the faith;

Keep the faith, Read Scriptures, Equip yourself for every good work.

Mark 10 |

Jesus tells his disciples and predicts his arrest, beatings, execution, and resurrection;

James and John ask to be leaders with Jesus at his key posts; all have to be servants to be great around; we are made to serve one another.

For Mission

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

A Collect for Fridays
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.
