MORAVIAN DAILY TEXT
Second Sunday in Lent
Watchword for the week – The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? Psalm 27:1
Sunday, March 16 – Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18; Psalm 27; Philippians 3:17-4:1; Luke 13:31-35
As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” You hid your face; I was dismayed. Psalm 30:6,7
Jesus said, “You have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you.” John 16:22
O God of mercy, forgive our stubborn and prideful hearts. So often, when our lives are easy, we forget to thank you. Yet, when our hearts are broken and we feel lost, we remember you and seek your guidance and strength. Shepherd of our souls, increase our dependence upon you. Grant us faith to declare, “It is well with my soul.” Amen.
Belief of the Church
With the whole of Christendom, we share faith in God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We believe and confess that God has revealed Himself once and for all in His Son Jesus Christ; that our Lord has redeemed us with whole of mankind by His death and His resurrection; and that there is no salvation apart from Him. We believe that He is present with us in the Word and the Sacrament; that He directs and unites us through His Spirit and thus forms us into a Church. We hear Him summoning us to follow Him, and pray Him to use us in His Service. He joins us together mutually so that knowing ourselves to be members of His Body we become willing to serve each other.
