Reading | Nicodemus encounter with Jesus yields most quoted New Testament verses - For God so loved the world that God gave the one and only Son so that that all should not perish but have life eternal now. God did not come to condemn but rather to enter into relationship will all as a light to the creation; John the Baptist explains who Jesus is and what John is not; Jesus talks with a Samaritan woman - an outcast people to the Jews - and transforms her into an evangelist and many of Samaria come to believe; John is imprisoned by the sinner King Herod.

Collect of the Day: Proper 21
O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant us the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises, may become partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

A Collect for Peace
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Answering of Prayer
Almighty God, you have promised to hear the petitions of those who ask in your Son’s Name: We beseech you mercifully to incline your ear to us who have now made our prayers and supplications to you; and grant that those things which we have faithfully asked according to your will, may effectually be obtained, to the relief of our necessity, and to the setting forth of your glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
