Week after Pentecost
O Lord, from whom all good things come:
grant to us your humble servants,
that by your holy inspiration

God’s Word "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!" (1 Kings 8:27, ESV)
