my helper

O God, by your name save me, and by your might defend my cause.

O God, hear my prayer; hearken to the words of my mouth.

Behold, God is my helper; the Lord sustains my life.
Freely will I offer you sacrifice;
I will praise your name, O LORD, for its goodness.

Psalm 54:3-4, 6 & 8.

Christ has now reconciled you to present you holy and unblemished before him.

(*See Colossians 1:21-23)

motives of the heart

A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians
Brothers and sisters: Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Now it is of course required of stewards that they be found trustworthy. It does not concern me in the least that I be judged by you or any human tribunal; I do not even pass judgment on myself; I am not conscious of anything against me, but I do not thereby stand acquitted; the one who judges me is the Lord.

Therefore, do not make any judgment before the appointed time, until the Lord comes, for he will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will manifest the motives of our hearts, and then everyone will receive praise from God.

Corinthians 4: 1-5
