Kyrie

2 Samuel

Word of God; Word of life

Thanks be to God.

Psalm 14

Fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, every deed is vile; there is no one who does any good.

 The Lord looks down from heaven upon us all,
  to see if there is anyone who is wise, who seeks after God.
 They have all proved faithless; all alike have turned bad;
  there is none who does good;  no, not one.
 Have they no knowledge, all those evildoers
  who eat up my people like bread and do not call upon the Lord?
 See how they tremble with fear,
  because God is in the company of the righteous.
 Your aim is to confound the plans of the afflicted,
  but the Lord| is their refuge.
 Oh, that Israel’s deliverance would come out of Zion!
  When the Lord restores the fortunes of the people, Jacob will rejoice  and Israel will be glad.

 Ephesians

Word of God; Word of life

Thanks be to God.

The Lord be with you. And also with you.

Lift up your hearts.

We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Our Father in heaven,
    hallowed be your name,
    your kingdom come,
    your will be done,
        on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
    as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
    and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
    now and forever. Amen.
 

These are the gifts of God for you--the people of God.

Come, the banquet is ready.
