“Wherefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature, the old things are passed away; behold, they have become new.”

“Almighty God, grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith, and lay aside all malice and wickedness, to serve Him in pureness of living, and truth.” All this we ask in your most precious name, and let all the peoples say, amen.
