6 8am Psalm 15 APBA, page 234, 10am Psalm 80 TiS 42 This is a song for entrance into the Temple (‘tabernacle’ being a traditional image for God’s house of prayer). The moral qualities required are right deeds and truthful speaking. A reading from the letter of Paul to the Colossians Paul has suffered bodily affliction for the sake of the Gospel, but, like an athlete striving for a prize he also works hard to reveal the person of Jesus Christ, his Lord and saviour. I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church. I became its servant according to God’s commission that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery that has been hidden throughout the ages and generations but has now been revealed to his saints. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. It is he whom we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone in all wisdom, so that we may present everyone mature in Christ.

ALL Alleluia!

It is easy to allow conventional roles or making ourselves busy to keep us from what is essential – our relationship with God through Jesus. 4
