A reading from the second letter of St. Paul to the Corinthians.

Brothers and sisters, as God is faithful, our word to you is not yes and no,

for the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was proclaimed to you by us, sylvanus and

sympathy and me, was not yes and no, but yes has been in him.

For however many are the promises of God, their yes is in him.

Therefore, the amen from us also goes through him to God for glory.

But the one who gives us security with you in Christ and who anointed us is God.

He has also put his seal upon us and given the spirit in our hearts as a first

installment. The word of the Lord.

Thank you God.

Lord, let your face shine on me.

Lord, let your face shine on me. Lord, let your face shine on me.

Wonderful are your decrees.

Therefore, I observe them.

Lord, let your face shine on me.

The revelation of your words sheds light

gives understanding to the simple.

Lord, let your face shine on the name.

I gasp with open mouth in my yearning for your commands.

Lord, let your face shine upon me.

Turn to me in pity as you turn to those who love your name.

Lord, let your face shine my name.
