7. The Gospels; 8. Matthean Geneaology; 9. Marcan Gospel; 10. Isaiah's vision;

God be in my head

And in my understanding.

God be in my eyes

And in my looking.

God be in my speaking

And in my heart,

And in my thinking.

God be at my end

And in my departing.

O Holy Spirit, Giver of light and life, impart to us thoughts higher than our own thoughts and prayers better than our own prayers, that we may spend and be spent in the ways of love and goodness, after the perfect image of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

May the strength of God guide us,

May the power of God preserve us,

May the wisdom of God instruct us,

May the hand of God lead us,

May the shield of God defend us.

May Christ be with us,

Christ before us,

Christ behind us,

Christ around us,

Christ within us,

This day and for evermore. Amen.

As Christians to-day we have to stand up and be counted for Christ's teachings. Otherwise we are going to be entombed in the culture of death and dishonesty that is rampart in all western societies. Yet we must not lose our acknowledgement that God is present in all of creation, in whose being we all live and have our being.

11. The First Pentecost

To Paul more than any other apostle we owe the preaching of the Gospel in those years after Christ's death and resurrection.
