The Summary of the Law (Mk 12: 29-31)
Wolf Cub Robert Rowley
This is the first commandment:
HEAR O ISRAEL, 
THE LORD OUR GOD, 
THE LORD IS ONE!  
THEREFORE 
YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD 
WITH ALL YOUR HEART, 
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, 
WITH ALL YOUR MIND, 
AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.

This is the second commandment:
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.
There is no greater commandment than these.

Anthem “God of Our Fathers” D. Roberts

THE WORD OF GOD
*Responsive Reading: 
“The Scout Law Prayer” — Boy Scout Steven Singer

Our God make us trustworthy for there are those who place their trust in us.
MAKE US LOYAL, FOR THROUGH LOYALTY WE REACH OUR HIGHEST IDEALS.
Teach us to be helpful, for through helpfulness we forget our selfishness.
MAKE US FRIENDLY, FOR THERE ARE SO MANY WHO NEED A FRIEND.
Train us in courtesy, for courtesy is the carpet on life’s floor — it deadens the sound of shuffling feet and adds warmth to silence.
MAKE US KIND, FOR KINDNESS IS THE OIL IN THE COGS OF LIFE’S MACHINERY.
Insist upon our obedience, for the final victory comes only to the one who obeys your will.
MAKE US CHEERFUL, FOR CHEERFULNESS IS THE GREEN GRASS AMONG THE ROCKS IN THE PATH OF OUR LIVES.
Train us in thrift, for thrifty habits brighten our future.
MAKE US BRAVE, BRAVE IN THE DARK AND BRAVE IN THE LIGHT.
Help us to be clean in thought, word and deed.
AND MAY WE REMEMBER THAT OUR BODIES ARE HOLY TEMPLES NOT TO ABUSED OR USED TO HURT OTHERS.

*Gloria Patri (Hymn No. 623)
All Christians are invited to join us in this affirmation:
GLORY BE TO THE FATHER 
AND TO THE SON 
AND TO THE HOLY GHOST.  
AS IT WAS IN THE BEGINNING, 
IS NOW AND EVER SHALL BE, 
WORLD WITHOUT END, 
AMEN, AMEN!
