Of first order
       know this:
               that every prophecy of scripture
                     comes about not
                            by (the prophet’s) own interpretation.
For no prophecy was 
       ever brought about 
                             by the will of a human, 
but by those
      carried by the Holy Spirit
-they spoke from God. 
               

Eternal Light, shine into our hearts;
Eternal Goodness, deliver us from evil;
Eternal Power, be our support;
Eternal Wisdom, scatter the darkness of our ignorance:
That we may seek your face
with all our heart and mind and soul and strength. Amen.
