1 Thessalonians 5 : 16-24

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing and give thanks to God at every moment. This is the will of God, your vocation as Christians. Do not quench the Spirit, do not despise the prophets’ warnings. Put everything to the test and hold fast to what is good. Avoid evil, wherever it may be.

May the God of Peace make you holy and bring you to perfection. May you be completely blameless, in spirit, soul and body, till the coming of Christ Jesus, our Lord; he who called You is faithful and will do it.

Liturgical Colour : Green or White

1 Thessalonians 4 : 9-11

Regarding mutual love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because God Himself taught you how to love one another. You already practice it with all the brothers and sisters of Macedonia, but I invite you to do more.

Consider how important it is to live quietly without bothering others, to mind your own business, and work with your hands, as we have charged you.
