Theme for Pentecost 14
God is a God of compassion and mercy but man's selfishness often gets in the way. Only Christ was humble as God requires and through Him we learn true humility.
Hymn #842
Alleluia. Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted. Alleluia.
O Lord of grace and mercy, teach us by Your Holy Spirit to follow the example of Your Son in true humility, that we may withstand the temptations of the devil and with pure hearts and minds avoid ungodly pride; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
