response reading 2. psalm 2.
Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
"Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
"I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."
I will proclaim the decree of the LORD : He said to me, "You are my Son ; today I have become your Father.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.


hymnal 258
1 O happy day, that fixed my choice on Thee my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice, and tell its raptures all abroad
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray; and live rejoicing every day,
happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
2 O happy bond, that seals my vows, to Him who merits all my love;
Let cheerful anthems fill His house, while to that sacred shrine I move.
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray; and live rejoicing every day,
happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
3 'Tis done, the great transaction's done; I am my Lord's, and He is mine.
He drew me, and I followed on, charmed to confess the voice divine.
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray; and live rejoicing every day,
happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!

Leviticus 14:1-13
1 The LORD said to Moses,
2 "These are the regulations for the diseased person at the time of his ceremonial cleansing, when he is brought to the priest:
3 The priest is to go outside the camp and examine him. If the person has been healed of his infectious skin disease,
4 the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop be brought for the one to be cleansed.
5 Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot.
6 He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.
7 Seven times he shall sprinkle the one to be cleansed of the infectious disease and pronounce him clean. Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields.
8 "The person to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair and bathe with water; then he will be ceremonially clean. After this he may come into the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
9 On the seventh day he must shave off all his hair; he must shave his head, his beard, his eyebrows and the rest of his hair. He must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and he will be clean.
10 "On the eighth day he must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering, and one log of oil.
11 The priest who pronounces him clean shall present both the one to be cleansed and his offerings before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
12 "Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering, along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the LORD as a wave offering.
13 He is to slaughter the lamb in the holy place where the sin offering and the burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest; it is most holy.


Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. amen."""""
