Theme for The Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
Particularly in religious things man is guilty of terrible hypocrisy Outward actions mean nothing if the heart is not right.
Hymn #696
Alleluia. Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart. Alleluia.
Almighty and merciful God, defend Your Church from all false teaching and error that Your faithful people may confess You to be the only true God and rejoice in Your good gifts of life and salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
