Psalm 140

Keep me safe from the hands of the wick for I know your mercy; I know that the Lord secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.

Job 2

Job is afflicted with sores and his wife is mad and his so called friends come to console him; they wept for him and sat for 7 days and did not say anything to him for Job's suffering was great.

Acts 9

Saul/Paul gets ready again to persecute the Church called the Way; Jesus comes from heaven and asks him why?; Saul is blinded from the sight of Jesus and lead away and he did not eat or drink for three days. Jesus calls Saul into to service.

John 6
The crowd asks for Jesus about what is required for this living bread; Jesus says faith in the one that God sent (that being Jesus); faith not miracles and wonders.

Collect of the Day: Proper 15

Almighty God, you have given your only Son to be for us a sacrifice for sin, and also an example of godly life: Give us grace to receive thankfully the fruits of this redeeming work, and to follow daily in the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

For Mission

Almighty and everlasting God, 
by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people 
is governed and sanctified: 
Receive our supplications and prayers 
which we offer before you for 
all members of your holy Church, 
that in their vocation and ministry 
they may truly and devoutly serve you; 
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
