MatinsYour Light has Come
Arise, shine, for your light has come:
and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
New Testament Reading - Self-discipline
24In a race everyone runs, but only one person gets first prize. So run your race to win. 25To win the contest you must deny yourselves many things that would keep you from doing your best. An athlete goes to all this trouble just to win a blue ribbon or a silver cup,a but we do it for a heavenly reward that never disappears. 26So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step. I fight to win. I’m not just shadow-boxing or playing around. 27Like an athlete I punish my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to. Otherwise I fear that after enlisting others for the race, I myself might be declared unfit and ordered to stand aside.
. . . . . 1 Corinthians 9:24-27- Literally, “a wreath that quickly fades,” given to the winners of the original Olympic races of Paul’s time.

Please remember our Prayer Requests
You, Lord are the light of the world;
come and make our darkness bright.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
O God, give the solitary a home
and bring forth the prisoners into freedom.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.
Restore us again, O God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance
and we shall be saved.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Amen.
