Scripture Dismissal May God’s word strengthen our hearts. Amen. May God bless us in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke (13:23-25, 29-30) Jesus said: “Do all you can to go in by the narrow door! A lot of people will try to get in, but will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and locks the door, you will be left standing outside. You will knock on the door and say, ‘Sir, open the door for us!’ But the owner will answer, ‘I don't know a thing about you!’ People will come from all directions and sit down to feast in God's kingdom. There, the ones who are now least important will be the most important, and those who are now most important will be least important.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Collect The commemoration of the Virgin Mary as queen of heaven is linked with last week’s feast of the Assumption. Let us pray that we too will share in Christ’s resurrection to glory.
