Morning Prayer

Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24 God did not make death,nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.For he fashioned all things that they might have being;and the creatures of the world are wholesome,and there is not a destructive drug among themnor any domain of the netherworld on earth,for justice is undying.For God formed man to be imperishable;the image of his own nature he made him.But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world,and they who belong to his company experience it.
