TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

First Reading: Ephesians 5,15 --20 (English): In this reading, St. Paul asks us to live our lives wisely. He also explains that we should praise the Lord giving him thanks in our hearts doing his will. Second Reading: Ephesians 2: 17 - 22 (Lebanese): St. Paul wants us to know that by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we became the Children of God. The Spirit gave us one Father so we will not be strangers any longer. Gospel: Luke , 4: 14 - 21 (English & Lebanese): In this Gospel Reading, we experience the beginning of Jesus' Ministry in Galilee.

Morning Offering Lord Jesus, I give you my hands to do your work. I give you my feet to go your way. I give you my eyes to see as you do. I give you my tongue to speak your words. I give you my mind that you may think in me. I give you my spirit that you may pray in me. Above all, I give you my heart that you may love in me the Father and all humanity. I give you my whole self that you may grow in me, So that is you, Lord Jesus, who live and work and pray in me.
