Altar Server Prayer: Father in heaven, Your Son Jesus Christ showed his
love for you by serving his brothers and sisters in need. I now
ask you to give me your help I serve you and your people Open my mouth to
praise you in word and song. Open my ears to hear your word. Open my hand to do
your work well. Take from me all evil and distracting thoughts.
Help me to know
what I should do and do it well. Help me to serve reverently at your Holy
Altar and give you praise and glory now and for ever. Amen
Think what you were
before you fell, and repent
This is the
revelation given by God to Jesus Christ so that he could tell his servants
about the things which are now to take place very soon; he sent his angel to
make it known to his servant John, and John has written down everything he saw
and swears it is the word of God guaranteed by Jesus Christ. Happy the man who
reads this prophecy, and happy those who listen to him, if they treasure all
that it says, because the Time is close.
From John, to the
seven churches of Asia: grace and peace to you from him who is, who was, and
who is to come, from the seven spirits in his presence before his throne.
I heard the Lord
saying to me: ‘Write to the angel of the church in Ephesus and say, “Here is
the message of the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and who
lives surrounded by the seven golden lamp-stands: I know all about you: how
hard you work and how much you put up with. I know you cannot stand wicked men,
and how you tested the impostors who called themselves apostles and proved they
were liars. Know, too, that you have patience, and have suffered for my name
without growing tired. Nevertheless, I have this complaint to make; you have
less love now than you used to. Think where you were before you fell; repent,
and do as you used to at first.”’
Those who prove victorious I will
feed from the tree of life.
'Son of David, have pity on me'
As Jesus drew near
to Jericho there was a blind man sitting at the side of the road begging. When
he heard the crowd going past he asked what it was all about, and they told him
that Jesus the Nazarene was passing by. So he called out, ‘Jesus, Son of David,
have pity on me.’ The people in front scolded him and told him to keep quiet,
but he shouted all the louder, ‘Son of David, have pity on me.’ Jesus stopped
and ordered them to bring the man to him, and when he came up, asked him, ‘What
do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Sir,’ he replied ‘let me see again.’ Jesus said
to him, ‘Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.’ And instantly his sight
returned and he followed him praising God, and all the people who saw it gave
praise to God for what had happened.
My Father in heaven, grant me insight to your revelation. Give knowledge to your words, that I may understand your prophesy through your creation, and various signs reveled. In reading your prophecy Father, may I treasure all that it says. In my responsiveness to closeness of time, Father that I may have a pure heart free from evil. Above all Father self awareness.
