Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11)

Let us pray: Almighty God and Father, we worship you.  We give you thanks for the gift of salvation and new life. May we stay away from sins and act only upon your will. Help us to live harmoniously with others. Let love and kindness rule over envy, greed, selfishness and lust. May we live today in a word without crime. Amen.
