(Luke 4:16-30) Standing up for the truth and proclaiming God’s truth can bring opposition even from those closest to us. This is especially true when proclaiming the truth about the sanctity of human life. Nevertheless, we stand and welcome the words of Nehemiah, “And do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength” (8:10b). Prayer: Lord, give us joy even in the midst of opposition to Your truth. Amen. Life Thoughts are based from Lutheran Service Book. on the appointed readings LIFE QUOTES - “Finding forgiveness in Christ is the first step towards healing everyone who is impacted by the shockwaves of abortion.” From “Healing the Shockwaves of Abortion” by Janet Morana and Georgette Forney (LifeDate Spring 2015) – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org STEWARDSHIP – I Cor. 12:16 “And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.” The Lord has called each of us individually and given each of us unique gifts. He has made our whole lives holy in our Baptism and has called us to a life together in the Church, His body. You are a part of that body, and that body needs you and the gifts the Lord has given you. This is your holy calling from the Lord.
