But a Samaritan while traveling came near him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, `Take care of him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more you spend.&#8217; Which of these three, do you think, was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of the robbers?&#8221; He said, &#8220;The one who showed him mercy.&#8221; Jesus said to him, &#8220;Go and do likewise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> The Gospel of the Lord.<br \/>\n<i>People: <\/i>Praise to you, Lord Christ.<\/p>\n<h3>Click below for <b>The Message of the Day<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=DFMS1776748338&amp;light=true\" width=\"600\" height=\"180\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Interlude: &#8220;Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life&#8221; &#8211; Gardiner\/Glyncannon<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-3548-2\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/stpeterstrinity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/July10_2022Interlude_01.mp3?_=2\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/stpeterstrinity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/July10_2022Interlude_01.mp3\">http:\/\/stpeterstrinity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/July10_2022Interlude_01.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Leader:<\/i> Please stand, as you are able, as we recite together The Nicene Creed<\/p>\n<p><b>The Nicene Creed<br \/>\n<\/b>We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
