Heavenly Father, whose Son Jesus
Christ came, not to be served But to serve: Give us the grace to follow in his
footsteps, and to show forth your love by loving and serving our neighbors, and
coming, as did Albert Schweitzer, to the rescue of those in need; for the sake
of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
2 I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing
praises to my God while I have my being.
3 Put not your trust in princes,
in a son of man,
in whom there is no salvation.
4 When his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day
his plans perish.
5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in
the Lord his God,
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all
that is in them,
who keeps faith
forever;
7 who executes
justice for the oppressed,
who gives food to
the hungry.
Psalm 146 English Standard Version
