Prelude

Opening Reading:

Lord our God, you yourself remind us through your holy people that all our religious practices are not worth anything if we use them to bend you our way. God, may we come to you in humility and repentance, ready to encounter you in love and to turn your way. Accept us as your people Through Christ you came not to humiliate the sinner but to disturb the righteous. Welcome us when we are put to shame, and challenge our smugness, that we may truly turn from the darkness, and be open to embrace the light. Amen
