Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ,
King of endless glory.
God loved us so much,
Sent the Son to us,
And all who believe in Him,
They shall live forever!
2 CORINTHIANS – CHAPTER 5
MATTHEW – CHAPTER 6
Response: Glory to you, O Lord.
“Don’t do good things just so people will see
you. If you do, God your Father won’t do
good things for you” said Jesus. “Don’t show
off when you give. Some people give so that
other people will say good things about
them.
The truth is, that’s all the good that will
come to them.
“Give to the poor,” said Jesus.
“Don’t tell your left hand what
your right hand does. That
way, it will be a secret. Your
Father sees things that are
done in secret. So he will do
good things for you.
“What about praying?” said
Jesus. “Don’t pray just so others
will see you. Some people do that.
The truth is; being seen is all the
good that will come to them.
“Go to your room when you pray,” said Jesus. “Close the door.
Then pray to the Father you can’t see.
Your Father sees everything you do in secret. He will do good
things for you.
“Don’t just chatter away when you pray,” said Jesus. “People
who don’t believe in the true God do that. They think their
god hears them if they use lots of words. Don’t be like them.
Your Father knows
what you need
even before you
ask.
“This is how you
should pray,” said
Jesus.
Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in
heaven.
Give us
this day
our daily
bread.
And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us
from evil.
Amen.
“Forgive other people when they treat you badly,” said Jesus.
“Then God your Father will forgive you too. What if you don’t
forgive other people? Then your Father won’t forgive you.
The Gospel of the Lord.

FIRE IN THE FOREST LEAVES US ASHES.
ASHES LIE SMOKING ON THE GROUND.
ALL THE OLD AND DEAD WOOD LIES IN
ASHES.
BUT DON’T BE SAD, DON’T LET IT BRING
YOU DOWN.
FOR IN THE ASHES NEW SEEDS ARE SOWN.
FROM THE ASHES NEW LIFE WILL GROW.
LEAVE THE PAST IN ASHES.
LET THE OLD THINGS GIVE WAY.
START A FRESH NEW LIFE RIGHT HERE
TODAY,
IN THE ASHES, FROM THE ASHES, OUT OF
ASHES.
NOW WE LEAVE OUR FAILINGS FAR BEHIND
US,
LEAVE THEM IN THE FOREST FIRE TO BURN.
ALL THAT’S LEFT BEHIND IS COLD GREY
ASHES,
AND IN THE ASHES NOW TO GOD WE TURN.
