Scripture for Reflection and Preparation


Isaiah 55:1 “1 ‘Come, everyone who is thirsty, come to the waters; and you without money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost!’”


Acts 2:36-41 “36 ‘Therefore let all the house of israel know with certainty that god has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both lord and Messiah!’ 37 When they heard this, they were pierced to the heart and said to peter and the rest of the apostles:
‘Brothers, what must we do?’ 38 ‘repent,’ peter said to them, ‘and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus the Messiah for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are
far off, as many as the lord our god will call.’ 40 and with many other words he testified and strongly urged them, saying, ‘Be saved from this corrupt generation!’ 41 So those who accepted
his message were baptized, and that day about 3,000 people were added to them.”
