In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, amen. A reading from the first epistle of Saint John. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this, the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the expiation for our sins. Beloved,
[01:01]
If God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No man has ever seen God. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God. So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
[02:10]
In this is love perfected with us, that we might have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, But perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment. And he who fears is not perfected in love. We love because he first loved us. If anyone says, I love God and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.
[03:19]
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God when we love God and obey his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcomes the world, our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? O God, who art in heaven, O Lord, make haste to help me.
[04:57]
Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, for thou art forever our man. Alleluia. Amen. When I call, answer me, O God of justice. Now then, would you release me at mercy and peace? O men, bow down with your eyes to your doors. Give your love, my spirit, and sleep on your souls. It is the Lord who has made us who we are. the Lord hears me whenever I cry. Dear, if you do not see, but live on your wedding day, make justice your sacrifice and trust in your Lord.
[05:58]
What can bring us happiness when we sing? And if not the light of your face on us all day, You have played to my heart a greater joy than they have for the ones of old and new. I will die for you in peace and sleep and service for you alone know. He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, and abides in the shade of the Almighty, says to the Lord, My God, My stronghold, My God, and My child. It is He who will free you from the snare of the power who seeks to destroy you.
[07:06]
You will not fear the terror of the dark, nor the arrow that flies by it, nor the blade that prompts in the darkness, nor the scourge that lays waste at you. Now the thousand may fall on your side, Ten thousand more than you are. You it will never acquire. This faithfulness is what you achieve. Your eyes have opened to me. To see how the wicked are replayed. You have set for my way. I have made the most by your love. Upon you no evil shall fall, nor may your cross break your heart.
[08:14]
For you have seen a man in his age, who will keep you in all your glory. Nature, where you are from, where I come from, as you strike your foot against the stone, on the vine, in the vine where you were born, and trample the unkind and the dry. His love is here on me, so I will rescue him, protect him, for he knows my need. When he calls, I shall answer back with you. I will stay in distress and give you hope. With length of life I will protect you, I shall let him see my sin come. O come, O come, O come, are you who serve the Lord, who stay in the house of the Lord?
[09:19]
In the courts of the house of our God. Lift up your hands to the holy place. And bless the Lord through the night. May the Lord bless you from Zion. He who made the world heaven and earth. Praise the Father, the Son, and Holy Spirit. Now in the daydream night of day, Maker of all, to you we pray, that with your ever-lasting love, you guard and keep us from all.
[10:35]
Help and defend us through the night. Danger and terror go too far. Never let evil have its way. Reserve us for our Amen. [...] hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation
[12:02]
Mary, we greet you. Mother, we are simple. Our life, our sweetness, and our hope, we greet you. To you, we exalt. Children, I'll be with our crying. Through you we send our sighs, and for me that we be, we pass through this valley of tears. Therefore we pray, be our gracious helpers. Look with pity, with eyes of loving tenderness, upon the sinners. And at the end, when this earthly exile shall be over,
[15:45]
the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus. O loving, O gentle, O loving, Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray. Almighty and eternal God, you designed by the action of the Holy Spirit, the body and soul of the glorious Virgin Mother Mary, to be a worthy loving for your Son. Grant that we, who rejoice in your memory, may be freed by her loving care for you,
[16:52]
from the evils of this present life and the danger of eternal life, through the same Christ our Lord. Thank you.
[18:26]
Thank you. Thank you. O God of my sins, O Lord, make haste to help me.
[20:45]
Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever. Amen. Alleluia. The Lord's revelation to my pastor, sinned at my time. I have put your clothes beneath your feet. The Lord has sent those who are in your center of power. Ruled in the midst of all your foes. A prince of the day, of the birth of the Holy One. From the womb before the door I will guide you. The Lord is one and nothing can not change. You are a priest forever. A priest like no priest can ever hold. A pastor standing at your right hand.
[21:49]
Will share your things in the day of his death. He, the judge of the nations, will be by your side, and shall be shared by one. He shall drink from the stream by the wayside, and therefore he shall live of his own. Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, both now and for ever. Amen. I will thank the Lord with all my heart, in the meeting of the just and their estate.
[22:55]
Great are the works of the Lord, to be funded by all the land. Majestic and glorious is the Lord. His justice stands firm forever. He makes us remember His words. The Lord is compassion and love. He is good to those who fear Him. keeps His covenant ever in mind. He has shown His light to His people by giving them the lands of their nations. His works are justice and truth. His precepts are all of their truth. Standing firm forever and ever, they are leading the right way so true. And the suffragettes discovered him forever, holding his name to be free.
[24:10]
Do fear the Lord is here in your midst now. All who so hold themselves close, his praise shall last forever. Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Almost now and forever, amen. And even then, who is the Lord? Who takes the idol, is the Lamb. His arms will be on the earth. The children of the Almighty are the Lamb.
[25:13]
Riches and wealth are in His hands. His justice and His work for us. He is alive in the darkness of the hour. He is generous and just and full of joy. The good man takes pity and bless. He conducts his affairs with love. The just man will never wait. He will be remembered forever. He has fulfilled all he will do. With a firm heart he trusted the Lord. With a steadfast heart he walked through. He was saved without all of his fall. All that he gives to the Lord is justice and strength forever. His hand will be raised in glory.
[26:17]
The way of that season is angry. Precious is the end of the world, the desire of which leads to death. Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, both now and forever. Amen. Praise the servants of the Lord.
[27:22]
Praise the name of the Lord. May the name of the Lord be blessed. All power forevermore. From the rising of the sun to its setting. Praise be the name of the Lord. I love all nations, it's the love of all the heavens restored. Oh, inside the Lord our God, who has risen up high to restore. He has told us all our hearts to look down, to look down on heaven and on earth. From the dust, gifts of the Lord, From the donkey he traces the road to setting an army of princes.
[28:23]
Yes, to the princes of his people, to the travelers like he is among them. And that is our God with children. Praise the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Oh, start it for me, Lord. A reading from the Epistle to the Romans, chapter five.
[29:27]
We have seen that through our Lord Jesus Christ, by faith we are judged righteous and at peace with God. Since it is by faith and through Jesus that we have entered this state of grace in which we can boast about looking forward to God's glory. But that is not all we can boast about. We can boast about our sufferings. These sufferings bring patience, as we know, and patience brings perseverance, and perseverance brings hope. And this hope is not deceptive, because the love of God has been poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, which has been given us. We were still helpless when at His appointed moment Christ died for sinful men. It is not easy to die even for a good man, though of course for someone really worthy a man might be prepared to die.
[30:39]
But what proves that God loves us is that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Having died to make us righteous, is it likely that he would now fail to save us from God's anger? When we were reconciled to God by the death of his son, we were still enemies. Now that we have been reconciled, surely we may count on being saved by the life of his son. Not merely because we have been reconciled, but because we are filled with joyful trust in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation. O blessed maker of the light, each day you bring it forth again.
[33:13]
As in the morning of the moon, You spoke and died for who was made. When night and morning have been torn, you will at this be called a day. Now that this was a lively day, we bring our humble prayer to you. Let not our hearts weigh down by sin. He has been to eternal life, and they keep on beyond this world, and shame themselves will kill again.
[34:21]
But knocking at the gate of God, we hope to gain the price of life. To turn aside from heart for me. and purge away our sinfulness. Father Almighty, this be done, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, your Son. Whom in the spirit we adore, who reigns with you forevermore. Jesus had done, they said.
[36:05]
This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. And my soul glorifies the Lord. My spirit rejoices in God my Savior. He looks on his servant in her nothingness. Henceforth all ages will call him blessed. The almighty works not those are new. All he is, is new. His mercy is knowledge to rage on those who fear him. He puts forth his arm in strength and scatters the proud above. He casts the mighty from their foes, and graces the lowly.
[37:15]
He fills the starry wood with forthwith, and sets the rich away now. He protects His God and His servant, Remembering His mercy, the mercy promised to our fathers, morning and evening forever. Praise the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, both now and forever. Amen. This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. Let us pray for our Holy Father, for all and all our nations, that they may be strengthened by the grace of God.
[38:29]
and encouraged by the counsel of their people. Lord, have mercy. Let us pray for all the people of God, that they may believe firmly in God's love for them, and first appear in the mystery of dying and rising in Christ. Let us pray for all mankind, our brothers and sisters throughout the world, that we may become one holy body in Christ, to God our Father. Lord, have mercy. O Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
[39:30]
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
