I am a child of God, I am happy for my sins have been blotted out. I am made pure and by the blood of my Saviour, I am liberated from the bondage of sin. Through the sacraments provided for by my Lord, let me stand as a child, ready and waiting for the day of the Lord. While I await, let me lead God’s lost children back on to the path of salvation.
Let us pray…
Almighty ever-living God,
whom, taught by the Holy Spirit,
we dare to call our Father,
bring, we pray, to perfection in our hearts
the spirit of adoption as your sons and daughters,
that we may merit to enter into the inheritance
which you have promised.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
– Amen.
GOSPEL
Matthew 19:13–15
Children were brought to Jesus that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them, but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” After he placed his hands on them, he went away.
