Charles Raasch, organ

My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation.
I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation.
No storm can shake my inmost calm, I hear the music ringing.
It sounds an echo in my soul. How can i keep from singing?

And though the tempest 'round me roars, I know the truth, it liveth.
What though the darkness 'round me close, songs in the night it giveth.

Alleluia LSB 190

Holy Gospel   John 14:15–21 NIV

¹⁵ “If you love me, keep my commands. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— ¹⁷ the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹ Before long, the world will

not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. ²¹ Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”

Prayers of the Church

May 3, 2026

 

O God, You make the minds of Your faithful to be of one will.

 

Grant that we may love what You have commanded and desire what You promise,

that among the many changes of this world,

our hearts may be fixed where true joys are found. Lord, in Your mercy,

 

Heavenly Father, through the power of Christ’s resurrection,

You adopt all who believe in Him.

 

We thank You for receiving newborn children into Your family through Baptismal waters.

We give You thanks for five Baptisms today – For…

 

Elliott Nicholas, Oliver Quinn, and Noah Matthew Alvarran, sons of Nicholas and Paige,

Naomi Miura, daughter of Masato and Mallory,

and James Mark Richardson, son of Ian and Angela.

 

Nourish their faith through the pure spiritual milk of Your Word,

that they and all Your baptized children may dwell in Your presence forever.

Lord, in Your mercy,

 

Father of glory, Your Son declared Himself to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

 

Bless and preserve all have requested our prayers, especially Lionel Chavez, Mike Ferreira, Billy-Jett Peaty, Guillermo Renteria, Karin Witthoeft, Janice Zabel, those on our printed prayer lists, and those named in our hearts and minds…

 

May Christ Himself be their way of salvation,

their truth amid doubt, and their life amid death. Lord, in Your mercy,

 

Father of comfort, console those who grieve.

 

We pray for Your peace to surround those who have lost loved ones, especially…

the family and friends of Kari Nelson, sister of Chris Casey;

and the family and friends of Raul “Paul” Palomares, father of Melissa Ramirez Hernandez.

 

Grant those who mourn a sure and steadfast hope in the good news

that He has prepared a place for us, where pain, sickness, and death are no more,

and all things are made new. Lord, in Your mercy,

 

Holy God, Your power brought all things into being,

and still preserves what You have made.

 

Guide and protect our president, our congress, our governor,

and all elected and appointed civil servants.

Watch over those who serve in our active and reserve military.

 

Lead them to honor You and Your purposes, establishing order and justice,

encouraging virtue and protecting all life. Give them wisdom and moderation

to lead for the well-being of our nation. Lord, in Your mercy,

 

Into Your hands, O Lord, we commend all for whom we pray, trusting in Your mercy,

through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord,

who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
