Psalm 102
Hear my prayer, O Lord
Please listen to me.
God hears the prayers of the homeless;
Even if nations pass away, your children, O Lord, will endure.
Hosea 10
The prophet tells the people of Israel of their breaking the covenant with God by worshipping rulers and idols; They will all pass away but God endures forever; they will be cut off because of their unbelief.
Acts 21
Paul taken into custody by the Tribune asks to address the riotous crowd; Paul speaks in their native language telling them of Jesus and his conversion to the faith that the Hebrew prophets of old proclaimed. He tells of his baptism.
Luke 6
After Jesus went to pray, he gathered 12 people to be his lead disciples; a crowd came to hear him but ...
Then he (Jesus) looked up at his disciples and said:
'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
'Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled.
'Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
'Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.
'But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.
'Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry.
'Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.
'Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
Collect: Proper 20
Grant us, Lord, not to anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things which are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
