Search Me, O God, and know my heart;

*The Opening Hymn # 297                                                                  Search Me, O God                                 

 

The Scripture Lesson – Matthew 5: 38-42

 

“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth,’ But I tell you, Do not, resist an evil person.  If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.  And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.

 

If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.  Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.”

 

This is the Gospel of the Lord

Thanks be to God
