1 Cor 10 23-27


All things are lawful, but not all things are helpful.
All things are lawful, but not all things build up.
Do not seek things for oneself,
but for another.


Eat anything that has been sold in the meat market,
investigating nothing on account of (your) conscience.
for the earth (and what it is) full of are the Lord’s.1

If a certain one of the unbelievers invites (some of) you
and you wish to go
eat everything that is set before you
investigating nothing on account of (your) conscience.

  1. Psalm 24 1 ↩︎

God, give me grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
Courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the Wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.

Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did,
This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.

Amen.
