Almighty creator of all that is, whose power knows no limits, let not our hearts by pinned to the opinions and approval of the world, that we would be focused on your desires and the goodness and virtue that is forever your nature, through Christ our Lord, who showed us faith, hope, and love, and now abides in your presence in the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
‘Just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the message of the gospel, even so we speak, not to please mortals but to please God, who tests our hearts.’ – 1 Thes. 2:4
