A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Thethelonians.

We have been reassured about you, brothers and sisters, in our every distress and affliction.

Through your faith, for we now live, if you stand firm in the Lord.

What Thanksgiving, then can we render to God for you,

for all the joy we feel on your account before our God.

Night and day, we pray beyond measure to see you in person and to remedy the deficiencies of your faith.

Now, may God himself our Father, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,

and may the Lord make you increase and abound of love for one another and for all, just as we have for you.

So as to strengthen your hearts, to be blameless of holiness before our God and Father

at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His holy ones. Amen. The Word of the Lord.

Thank you God. Fill us with your love, Lord, and we will sing for joy.

The Lord is to your love, Lord, and we will sing for joy. Youel us to God Lord and we will sing for joy.

You turn man back to dust, say, you turn, O children of men, for a thousand years in your sight

as are as yesterday now that it is past, or as a watch of the night.

The Lord is to give us to God of the Lord and be able to save for joy.

Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain wisdom of heart.

Return aboard. How long? Have pity on your service.

Fill us to God and God and God be able to joy. Fill us with your love, Lord, and be able to be able to joy.

Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shall for joy and gladness all our days,

and may the gracious care of the Lord, our God, be ours.

Prosper the work of our hands for us.

Prosper the work of our hands. Fill. Prosper the work of our hands.
