Offertory Thought: James 1:26-27
“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight
rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is
worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is
this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep
oneself from being polluted by the world.”

lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
