Lord God Almighty, who has delivered to us your good word, draw our hearts to you, that we would eschew using you as an excuse for our own desires but would worship you in spirit and truth, desiring you and your goodness above all, through Christ our Lord who showed us the way of love and truth and now reigns with you and the Holy Spirit over all creation. Amen.
‘He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.’”‘ – Mark 7:6-7
