The word of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, where the ark of God was. Then the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0called, \u201cSamuel! Samuel!\u201d and he said, \u201cHere I am!\u201d and ran to Eli, and said, \u201cHere I am, for you called me.\u201d But he said, \u201cI did not call; lie down again.\u201d So he went and lay down. The\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0called again, \u201cSamuel!\u201d Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, \u201cHere I am, for you called me.\u201d But he said, \u201cI did not call, my son; lie down again.\u201d Now Samuel did not yet know the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, and the word of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0had not yet been revealed to him. The\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, \u201cHere I am, for you called me.\u201d Then Eli perceived that the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, \u201cGo, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, \u2018Speak,\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, for your servant is listening.\u2019\u201d So Samuel went and lay down in his place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Now the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0came and stood there, calling as before, \u201cSamuel! Samuel!\u201d And Samuel said, \u201cSpeak, for your servant is listening.\u201d [Then the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0said to Samuel, \u201cSee, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. For I have told him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them. Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli\u2019s house shall not be expiated by sacrifice or offering forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">Samuel lay there until morning; then he opened the doors of the house of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>. Samuel was afraid to tell the vision to Eli. But Eli called Samuel and said, \u201cSamuel, my son.\u201d He said, \u201cHere I am.\u201d Eli said, \u201cWhat was it that he told you? Do not hide it from me. May God do so to you and more also, if you hide anything from me of all that he told you.\u201d So Samuel told him everything and hid nothing from him. Then he said, \u201cIt is the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>; let him do what seems good to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">As Samuel grew up, the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>\u00a0was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was a trustworthy prophet of the\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>.]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Reader:<\/i> The Word of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"lessonCitation\"><em>Reader:<\/em> Let us say together<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">Psalm 139:1-5, 12-17<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">1\u00a0<span class=\"initCap\">L<\/span><span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">ord<\/span>, you have searched me out and known me; *<br \/>\nyou know my sitting down and my rising up;<br \/>\nyou discern my thoughts from afar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">2 You trace my journeys and my resting-places *<br \/>\nand are acquainted with all my ways.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">3 Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, *<br \/>\nbut you, O\u00a0<span class=\"lordSmallCaps\">Lord<\/span>, know it altogether.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">4 You press upon me behind and before *<br \/>\nand lay your hand upon me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; *<br \/>\nit is so high that I cannot attain to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">12 For you yourself created my inmost parts; *<br \/>\nyou knit me together in my mother&#8217;s womb.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">13 I will thank you because I am marvelously made; *<br \/>\nyour works are wonderful, and I know it well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">14 My body was not hidden from you, *<br \/>\nwhile I was being made in secret<br \/>\nand woven in the depths of the earth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">15 Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb;<br \/>\nall of them were written in your book; *<br \/>\nthey were fashioned day by day,<br \/>\nwhen as yet there was none of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">16 How deep I find your thoughts, O God! *<br \/>\nhow great is the sum of them!<\/p>\n<p class=\"psalmText\">17 If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; *<br \/>\nto count them all, my life span would need to be like yours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Second Scripture Reading (The Epistle)<br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"lessonCitation\">1 Corinthians 6:12-20<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p class=\"lessonText\">\u201c<span class=\"initCap\">A<\/span>ll things are lawful for me,\u201d but not all things are beneficial. \u201cAll things are lawful for me,\u201d but I will not be dominated by anything. \u201cFood is meant for the stomach and the stomach for food,\u201d and God will destroy both one and the other.

For it is said, \u201cThe two shall be one flesh.\u201d But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Shun fornication!
