Main Thought:
We are amazingly blessed to have been born again in God’s Holy Church. Wherever you go, you are a child of God and citizen of His kingdom.
Psalm 87
On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
Glorious things of you are spoken,
O city of God.
Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—
“This one was born there,” they say.
And of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
for the Most High himself will establish her.
The Lord records as he registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.”
Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”
Prayer
Thanks be to You, our heavenly Father, because You have called us into the Church of Your Son, Jesus Christ, and have begotten us again unto a lively hope, that we may remain living stones in this Your spiritual temple to our last day, and cause us always to rejoice over Your salvation. Amen.
