OT: Genesis 46:1-7

Epistle: 1 Peter 4:12-19

Gospel: Matthew 2:13-23

WE LIFT UP OUR HEARTS AND HANDS IN A THREEFOLD PRAYER:

1. Grant me a home with you: My God, I am content, if only You do not disown me.

2. Grant me closeness with You: If I remain undivided from You; well, then I am sufficiently comforted. 

3. Finally, give me that which is Yours: let me be Yours!
