escogido a los que en este mundo son pobres, para que sean ricos
en fe y para que reciban como herencia el reino que él ha Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the

excellent name that was invoked over you?

dice la Escritura: «Ama a tu prójimo como a ti mismo.» 9 Pero si You do well if you really fulfill the royal law according to the
scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you

0My hope is built (Arr. Trenney)
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus Christ, my righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
In Him, my righteousness, alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

2523rd Psalm (McFerrin)
She sets a table before me, in the presence of my foes,
The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need,
She makes me lie down in green meadows, She anoints my head with oil,
Beside the still waters, She will lead. And my cup overflows.
She restores my soul, She rights my wrongs, Surely, surely goodness & kindness will follow me,
She leads me in a path of good things, All the days of my life,
And fills my heart with songs. And I will live in her house,
Forever, forever & ever.
Even though I walk, through a dark & dreary
land,
Glory be to our Mother, & Daughter,
There is nothing that can shake me,
And to the Holy of Holies,
She has said She won't forsake me,
As it was in the beginning, is now & ever shall be,
I'm in her hand.
World, without end. Amen
26From Prayer into Action
Almighty God,
we thank you for the gift of your holy word:
may it be a lantern to our feet,
a light upon our paths,
and a strength to our lives.
Take us and use us to love and serve all people
in the power of the Holy Spirit
and in the name of Jesus, Amen.
The grace of Jesus, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy
Spirit, be with us all, evermore. Amen.
