INTROIT Psalm 37:5–7; antiphon: v. 4
Delight yourself | in the Lord, *
and he will give you the desires | of your heart.
Commit your way | to the Lord; *
trust in him, and | he will act.
He will bring forth your righteousness | as the light, *
and your justice as the | noonday.
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently | for him; *
fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,
over the man who carries out evil dev- | ices!
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son
and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be - | ginning,
is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
Delight yourself | in the Lord, *
and he will give you the desires | of your heart.
The Lord’s Supper is celebrated at this congregation in the confession and glad confidence that, as he says, our Lord gives into our mouths not only bread and wine but his very body and blood to eat and to drink for the forgiveness of sins and to strengthen our union with him and with one another. Our Lord invites to his table those who trust his words, repent of all sin, and set aside any refusal to forgive and love as he forgives and loves us, that they may show forth his death until he comes. Because those who eat and drink our Lord’s body and blood unworthily do so to their great harm and because Holy Communion is a confession of the faith which is confessed at this altar, any who are not yet instructed, in doubt, or who hold a confession differing from that of this congregation and The Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod, and yet desire to receive the sacrament, are asked first to speak with the pastor. For further study, see Matthew 5:23f.; 10:32f.; 18:15-35; 26:26-29; 1 Cor. 34.
