In the name of the
Father, and the Son, and
the Holy Spirit, one God.
Amen.
Begin with the Lord’s prayer
Our Lord and Savior, our King and God,
we thank you for gathering us here to stand
before you to call on your Holy Name.
Heavenly Father, teach us to trust You in
everything we do.
Our God open our eyes, ears, hearts and
minds to Your Word today.
Bless all the children and keep them safe.
Hear us when we humbly and thankfully pray
to you.
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass
against us
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
For thine is the kingdom, the power,
and the Glory. Forever, Amen.
O our Lady, as St. Gabriel greeted you,
“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with
you.” True Virgin in conscience as well as
body, blessed are you among women and
blessed is the fruit of your womb.
Holy Mary, the God-bearer, pray that your
beloved Son, Jesus Christ, may forgive us
our sins. Amen.

Memorize today’s Verse
“The boy shall be a Nazirite to God from
birth”
Judges 13:7

Practice this verse


again during the week.
Objective

• To be kind and welcome strangers


to our homes and church.

References:
Judges 13:1-25
• There was a certain man of the tribe of
the Danites, whose name was
Manoah, and his wife was barren and
had no children. The man and his wife
prayed all the time and asked the Lord
to give them a son. The angel of the
Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and
said to her, “Behold you are barren
and have no children, but you shall
conceive and bear a son.
• Therefore beware, and drink no
wine or strong drink, and eat
nothing unclean, because you will
have a baby son. You should not
cut the hair of his head, for the
boy shall be a Nazirite to God
from birth”.
• Then the woman came and told her
husband, “A man of God came to me.
I did not ask him whence he was and
he did not tell me his name. Then
Manoah entreated the Lord, and said,
O Lord, I pray to You, let the man of
God whom You sent come again to
us, and teach us what we are to do
with the boy that will be born”.
• And God listened to the voice of
Manoah, and the angel of God came
again to the woman as she sat in the
field, but Manoah her husband was
not with her. And the woman ran in
haste and told her husband, “Behold
the man who came to me the other
day has appeared to me”,
• and Manoah arose and went after his
wife and they sang the hymn, “white
as white as a pigeons glittering,
glittering exactly as light. O angel,
how beautiful you are how sweet you
are”.
• And Manoah came to the man
and said to him, “Are you the man
who spoke to this woman?” And
he said, “I am”. And Manoah said,
“Now when your words come true
what is to be the boy’s manner of
life and what is he to do?” And the
angel of the Lord said to Manoah,
“Of all that I said to the woman let
her beware.
• She may not eat of anything that
comes from the vine neither let her
drink, or eat any unclean thing, all that
I commanded her let her observe”.
Manoah said to the angel of the Lord,
“Pray let us detain you, and prepare
sheep for you”. And the angel of the
Lord said to Manoah, “If you detain me
I will not eat of your food, but if you
make ready a burnt offering, then offer
it to the Lord”.
• And Manoah said to the angel of
the Lord, “What is your name so
that when your words come true
we may honor you?” And the
angel of the Lord said to him,
“Why do you ask my name, seeing
it is wonderful”.
• So Manoah took the sheep with
the cereal offering and offered it
upon the rock to the Lord and
when the flame went up toward
heaven from the altar, the angel
of the Lord ascended in the flame
of the altar while Manoah and his
wife looked on, and they fell on
their faces to the ground.
• The angel of the Lord appeared
no more to Manoah and his wife.
Then Manoah knew that he was
the angel of the Lord, white…
white like a pigeon.
Conclusion
• Manoah used to entertain strangers so he
could entertain the Lord, and offer him a
sacrifice. Whenever we deprive ourselves
of entertaining strangers, and when we
despise the poor and the needy, we
deprive ourselves of entertaining the Lord
Jesus Himself.
• We can meet the Lord Jesus and entertain
Him when we honor His brothers the poor,
the strangers and the weak.

given among men by which we must be
saved” (Acts 4:12)

the truth, and the

free.” John 8:32
