Sanctity of Life Sunday

'For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.

 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.'

 -Psalm 139:13-15

'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart;'

-Jeremiah 1:5a

 'But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,

 it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck

 and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.'

-Matthew 18:6

'Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
    in the heavens.
 Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
    to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?

 You have made them a little lower than the angels
    and crowned them with glory and honor.
 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their feet:
 all flocks and herds,
    and the animals of the wild,
 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!'

 -Psalm 8

Have a blessed Lord's Day!
