For Reflection and Preparation
Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name. Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you. Psalm 33:20-22
Nothing is of ourselves; for remission of sins, and adoption, and unspeakable glory are given to us by Him…. But, behold, a new soul (for it was cleansed), and also a new body, and a new worship, and all things absolutely new. For instead of the Jerusalem below we have received that mother city which is above, and instead of a material temple we have seen a spiritual temple; instead of tables of stone, fleshy tables; instead of circumcision, baptism; instead of the manna, the Lord’s body; instead of water from a rock, blood from His side; instead of Moses’ and Aaron’s rod, the Cross; instead of the promised land, the kingdom of heaven; instead of a thousand priests, one High Priest; instead of a lamb without understanding, a spiritual Lamb. But all these things are of God by Christ and His free gift. John Chrysostom c.350-407

Confessing Our Faith The Apostles’ Creed
I Believe in God the Father, Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day He arose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty,
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I Believe in the Holy Spirit;
The holy catholic church;
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting. Amen.
Message from the Word Galatians 4:1-11
