A reading from
the holy Gospel according to John 3:31-36
The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Prayer over the Offerings
Look with favor, O Lord, we pray,
on the offerings we set upon this sacred altar
on the feast day of blessed Stanislaus,
that, bestowing on us your pardon,
our oblations may give honor to your name.
Through Christ our Lord.
