I will trust in the Lord alone;

Happy are they who have the Lord their God;

God is just and feeds all;

Romans 5 |

We have been made right with God;

Suffering produces hope;

Jesus died for us and we are justified by His Blood;

We boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Matthew 22 |

Jesus taught in the form of parables - Kingdom of heaven is like a wedding banquet and he invites all to the banquet - they treated his servants badly - he invites all but many are called by few are chosen.

Today | Pentecost 5 | Proper 9

Collect for the Day

O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Mission

Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.

For the Human Family

O God, you made us in your own image and redeemed us through Jesus your Son: Look with compassion on the whole human family; take away the arrogance and hatred which infect our hearts; break down the walls that separate us; unite us in bonds of love; and work through our struggle and confusion to accomplish your purposes on earth; that, in your good time, all nations and races may serve you in harmony around your heavenly throne; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
