READING Romans 14:7-9 from the letter of St Paul to the Romans read by Monica Smith We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord s. For to this end Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead and the living. We shall all stand before the judgment seat of God. For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise to God. So then, each of us will be accountable to God. The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

READING 2 Timothy 4:6-8 from the second letter of St Paul to Timothy read by Kevin Lappin As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time for my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing. The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.
