You must leap into the fire, if you expect the fire to dwell within…

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (3x)

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages.

Amen.

Good morning, and Praise the Lord! Today is Sunday September 8, 2024, and we celebrate the nativity of our Most Holy Lady the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary.

All Holy Trinity, have mercy on us. Lord, forgive us our sins. Master, pardon our transgressions. Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities for your name’s sake.

Lord have mercy (3x)

Glory be to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever and to the ages of ages.

Amen.

Luke 1:39-49, 56

Galatians 6:11-18

John 3:13-17

Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, present everywhere and filling all things. Treasury of blessings, and giver of life, come and abide in us. Cleanse us from every stain and save our souls gracious Lord.

All who enter upon the good fight, which is hard and narrow, but also easy, must realize that they must leap into the fire, if they really expect the celestial fire to dwell in them.
