Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one God, whose steadfast love is everlasting, whose faithfulness endures from generation to generation. Amen. Trusting in the mercy of God, let us confess our sin. (Silence is kept for reflection). Reconciling God, we confess that we do not trust your abundance, and we deny your presence in our lives. We place our hope in ourselves and rely on our own efforts. We fail to believe that you provide enough for all. We abuse your good creation for our own benefit. We fear difference and do not welcome others as you have welcomed us. We sin in thought, word, and deed. By your grace, forgive us; through your love, renew us; and in your Spirit, lead us; so that we may live and serve you in newness of life. Amen. Beloved of God, by the radical abundance of divine mercy we have peace with God through + Christ Jesus, through whom we have obtained grace upon grace. Our sins are forgiven. Let us live now in hope. For hope does not disappoint, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Amen. VIDEO AND SAY (Prayer of the day): Faithful God, most merciful judge, you care for your children with firmness and compassion. By your Spirit nurture us who live in your kingdom, that we may be rooted in the way of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen VIDEO: Children’s Word VIDEO: First Reading: Isaiah 44:6-8 VIDEO AND READ ALONG RESPONSIVELY: Psalm 86:11-17 11Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart to revere your name. 12I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and glorify your name forevermore. 13For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the pit of death. 14The arrogant rise up against me, O God, and a band of violent people seeks my life; they have not set you before their eyes. 15But you, O Lord, are gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger, and full of kindness and truth. 16Turn to me and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the child of your handmaid. 17Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame; because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. VIDEO: Second Reading - Romans 8:12-25 VIDEO: Gospel Acclamation VIDEO: Gospel - Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 VIDEO: Sermon: VIDEO & SING ALONG – Hymn of the Day: “For the Fruit of All Creation” For the fruit of all creation, thanks be to God; for the gifts of every nation, thanks be to God; for the ploughing, sowing, reaping, silent growth while we are sleeping, future needs in earth's safe-keeping, thanks be to God. In the just reward of labor, God's will is done; in the help we give our neighbor, God's will is done; in our world-wide task of caring for the hungry and despairing, in the harvests we are sharing, God's will is done. For the harvests of the Spirit, thanks be to God; for the good we all inherit, thanks be to God; for the wonders that astound us, for the truths that still confound us, most of all that love has found us, thanks be to God. VIDEO & JOIN IN: APOSTLES' CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father. and he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
