Once again, it's the Lord himself who invites us to sit and to listen to be reminded that since his resurrection, God has been at work in the risen Christ, changing this world through faithful disciples who mold their lives according to his teaching and so change this world. The teacher continues with our instruction from the seventh chapter of that sermon on the mount.

Jesus tells us, "Ask and it will be given you. Search and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened for you.

For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. Is there anyone among you who if your child asks for bread, would give a stone? Or if the child asked for a fish would give him a snake.

If you then who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your father in heaven give good things to those who ask him? In everything you do to others, do as you would have them do to you. For this is the law and the prophets.

>> The light shines in the darkness. went from a town called Nazareth to a woman whose name favor Lord is with you. >> You shall bear a child and his name shall be Jesus the one God most high and I am the servant of my God.

In peace we pray to you foreverless. For peace between nations, for peace between people in love. For all those who labor in service to others, us.

Keep watch. Help us comfort us all of our days. Great and merciful God, source and ground of all goodness and life, give to your people the peace that passes all understanding and the will to live your gospel of mercy and justice through Jesus Christ our Lord.

>> Amen. Lord, remember us in your love and teach us to pray. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come, >> your will be done on earth as in heaven. >> Give us today our daily bread. >> Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

>> Let us bless our God. May God bless us and keep us. May Christ be over.

May the spirit of love be our guidance for all of our Amen.
