the Gospel of your salvation

“In him you also, who have heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation, and have believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God’s possession, to the praise of his glory.” (EPH 1: 13-14)

Our Lord comes to us with “the word of truth”; whenever we open “the Gospel of our salvation,” He speaks to us. He speaks to our ears and to our hearts, and He leads us to be closer to God the Father “with the promised Holy Spirit.”

“May your kindness, O LORD, be upon us; who have put our hope in you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
