So then
you are no longer
strangers and foreigners
but you are
fellow-citizens
with the saints
and members of God’s household,
having been built on the foundation
(consisting of) the ‘apostles and prophets’
Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone
in whom the whole building
is growing together
into a holy temple
in the Lord
in whom you also
are being built together
into God’s dwelling place
in the Spirit.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is discord, union;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy,
For your mercy and for your truth’s sake. Amen
