Our help is in the name of
the Lord
WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH!
Welcome
Call

Shout joy to the Lord, lovers of justice!
HOW RIGHT IT IS TO PRAISE GOD!
For the word of God is true: what God says, God does!
THIS LOVER OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE FILLS THE EARTH WITH LOVE!
Match your praise to all God has done for you.
BLESS THE LORD OF JUSTICE, WHO RULES FOREVER!
*Hymn 454 "Glorious is Thy Name
Most Holy"
Let us be before our
God in silence.
Unison Prayer: Psalm 15 & 5
LORD, WHO IS WELCOME IN YOUR
HOUSE? WHO CAN REST ON YOUR HOLY MOUNTAIN? THOSE WHO WALK WITH
INTEGRITY AND DO ONLY WHAT IS RIGHT, SPEAKING THE TRUTH WITH
COURAGE...THESE ARE THE JUST: THEY STAND FOREVER UNSHAKEN...YOU NEVER
WELCOME EVIL, GOD, NEVER LET IT STAY...BY YOUR GREAT MERCY I ENTER YOUR
HOUSE AND BEND LOW IN AWE WITHIN YOUR HOLY TEMPLE.
Kyrie (sung)
LORD, HAVE MERCY
ON US.
CHRIST, HAVE MERCY ON US.
LORD, HAVE MERCY ON US.
A Word of Assurance: Psalm 24
& 11
Whoever has integrity: not chasing shadows, not living lies. God will
bless them, their Savior will bring justice. The Lord loves justice,
the just will see God's face.
The Summary of the
Law (Mk 12: 29-31)
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL,
THE LORD OUR GOD,
THE LORD IS ONE!
THEREFORE YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
WITH ALL YOUR HEART,
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
WITH ALL YOUR MIND,
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.
This is the second
commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS
YOURSELF.
There is no greater
commandment than these.
