May God bless us!
May God, our God, bless us!
Then all the ends of/the earth
will give him the honor he de-serves.

May God show us his favor and bless us!
May he smile up-on us!
Then those living on earth will know what you are like;
all na-tions will know how you de-liver your peo-ple.

Let foreign-ers re-joice and cel-e-brate!
For you exe-cute jus-tice a-mong the na-tions,
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Psalm 119:24-48

Yes, I find de-light in your rules;
for they give me guid-ance.
I col-lapse in/the dirt.
Re-vive me with your word!

I told you a-bout my ways
and you have an-swered me.
Teach me your stat-utes!
Help me to under-stand what your pre-cepts mean!

Then I can medi-tate on your marvel-ous teach-ing.
I col-lapse from my grief.
Sus-tain me by your word!
Re-move me from/the path of de-ceit!

Gra-cious-ly give me your law!
I choose the path of faithful-ness;
I am com-mitted to your regu-la-tions.
I hold fast to your rules.

O Lord, do not let me be a-shamed!
I run a-long the path of your com-mands,
for you en-able me to do so.
Teach me, O Lord, the life-style pre-scribed by your stat-utes,

so that I might ob-serve it con-tin-ual-ly.
Give _ me under-stand-ing
so that I might ob-serve your law,
and keep it with all my heart.

Guide me in/the path of your com-mands,
for I de-light to walk in it.
Give me a de-sire for your rules,
ra-ther than for wealth gained un-just-ly.

Turn my eyes a-way from what is worth-less!
Re-vive me with your word!
Con-firm to your serv-ant your prom-ise,
which you made to/the one who hon-ors you.

Take a-way the in-sults that I dread!
In-deed, your regu-la-tions are good.
Look, I long for your pre-cepts.
Re-vive me with your de-liver-ance!

May I ex-peri-ence your loyal love, O Lord,
and your de-liver-ance, as you prom-ised.
Then I will have a re-ply for/the one who in-sults me,
for I trust in your word.

Do not com-pletely de-prive me of a truth-ful testi-mo-ny,
for I a-wait your jus-tice.
Then I will keep your law con-tin-ual-ly
now and for all time to come.

I will be se-cure,
for I seek your pre-cepst, O Lord.
I will speak/a-bout your regu-la-tions be-fore kings
and I will not be a-shamed.

I will find de-light in your com-mands.
I will lift my hands to your com-mands,
and I will medi-tate on your stat-utes.
I love all your com-mands and stat-utes.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Readings

A reading from Matthew 18:1-14

At that time the disciples came to Jesus saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” He called a child, had him stand among them, and said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn around and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven! Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a child like this in my name welcomes me.

“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a huge millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the open sea. Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, but woe to the person through whom they come. If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into fiery hell.

“See that you do not disdain one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven. What do you think? If someone owns a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go look for the one that went astray? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that one of these little ones be lost.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Monday - Our Father

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord be with you.
And al-so with _ you.
Our Fath-er in heav-en,
hal-low-ed be your Name.

Your king-dom come,
your will be done on earth
as it is in heav-en.
Give us to-day our dai-ly bread.

For-give us our sins
as we _ for-give those
who sin a-gainst us.
Save us from/the time of tri-al,

De-liver us from e-vil.
For the king-dom, the pow-er,
and the glory are yours,
now and for-ever A-men.

Collect of the Day

Almighty Savior, who at noonday called your servant Saint Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles: We pray you to illumine the world with the radiance of your glory, that all nations may come and worship you; for you live and reign for ever and ever.

Amen.

A Collect for Peace

O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Mission

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
