Week after the 19th Sunday after Pentecost - Proper 21
Psalm 89
I will sing of your love, O Lord and everything you have done; you rule all things; you have created all things; happy are they that walk in your presence.
Hosea 2 | Background
Hosea uses an image of a marriage between God and the people in order to give them hope in exile; I will bring you back; God - you are my people, people- you are our God.
Acts 20
Paul talks to the elders of Ephesus telling them he is bound for Jerusalem and he is proclaiming the Kingdom of God along the way; do your duty as elders and keep watch over the flock and let the Holy Spirit guide them; Jesus - it is more blessed to give than to receive; he prayed with them; and they brought him to the ship.
Luke 5
Jesus calls Peter and performs a miracle of a boat load of fish; Peter asks him to leave for he is a sinner; Jesus - don’t be afraid, you will now fish for people.
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.
For Mission
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.
