SECOND READING
St Paul to the Romans 14: 7-12 - Read by Lorraine Devellerez
The life and death of each of us has it’s influence on others;
If we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die
for the Lord, so that alive or dead we belong to the Lord.
This explains why Christ both died and came to life,
It was so that he might be Lord of the dead and of the Living.
We shall all have to stand before the judgement seat of God.
As scripture says; Be my life - it is the Lord who speaks – every knee shall
bend before me and every tongue shall praise God. It is to God, therefore,
that each of us must give an account of himself.
The Word of the Lord.
All:
Thanks be to God.
Please stand to welcome the Gospel.
