A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.

A TEXT
‘You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost
its taste, how can its saltiness be restored? It is
no longer good for anything, but is thrown out and
trampled under foot.
You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill
cannot be hidden. No one after lighting a lamp puts
it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand,
and it gives light to all in the house. In the same
way, let your light shine before others, so that they
may see your good works and give glory to your
Father in heaven.’
Matthew 5: 13-16
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Eternal Father,
whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven
that he might rule over all things as Lord and King:
Keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit
and in the bond of peace,
and bring the whole created order to worship at his feet,
who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen
Stir up, we beseech thee, O Lord,
the wills of thy faithful people;
that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works,
may of thee be plenteously rewarded;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
