We Pray... Let us pray that we will serve God with gladness in this time of Lent. (pause) Lord God, open our eyes to the needs of others and give us the joy and peace of serving you in freedom. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. We Go Forth... May God bless us and protect us and bring us to eternal life. Amen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 3 We Respond... In our reading today, St Paul reminds us that the Holy Spirit gives us all different gifts, and with these gifts we can serve others in our own special way. You might wonder what you can do as one small person, but even the smallest actions, can have the biggest impact, as can be seen in this video “Happiness is Helping Others”. We Listen... A reading from the first letter of St Paul to the Corinthians (12:4-7) Brothers and sisters: There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but they all come from the same Spirit. There are different ways to serve the same Lord, and we can each do different things. Yet the same God works in all of us and helps us in everything we do. The Spirit has given us each a special way of serving others. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 2 Week 2 Lent 20 March 2025 Thursday 4 1 39
