THE DIVINE SERVICE Rite One Service of the Word for Live-Streaming AS YOU PREPARE YOURSELF FOR WORSHIP you may pray: In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. I was glad when they said unto me: “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him. Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them. And they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. Speak, Lord, because Your servant is listening. I am your servant. Give me understanding that I may know Your testimonies. Incline my heart to the words of Your mouth. Speak, Lord, for You have the words of eternal life. Speak to me, to comfort my soul and to purify my life. Speak, that You may receive praise, glory, and everlasting honor! Amen.
