THE WORD

For the rest of this year is based on the Gospel of LUKE

(or did you know that anyway?)

FIRST READING ZECHARIAH 12. 10-14

They will look upon the one whom they have pierced

Psalm 62: ResponseO God you are my God alone

Whom eagerly I seekThough longing fills my soul with

thirstAnd leaves my body weak.

Just like a dry and barren landAwaits a freshening shower

I long within your house to seeYour glory and your power

Your faithful love surpasses lifeEvoking all my praise

Through every day to bless your name

My hands in joy I’ll raise.My deepest needs you satisfy

As with a sumptuous feastSo on my lips and in my heartYour praise has never ceased

Throughout the night I lie in bedAnd call you Lord to mind

In darkest hours I meditateHow God my strength is kind

Beneath the shadow of your wingI live and feel secure

And daily as I follow closeYour right hand keeps me sure

EPISTLE

GALATIANS 3. 23 - 29

APOSTLES’ CREED
