Readings


Psalm 72
Give justice to the king, O God;
He will be righteous and just;
There will be peace; he will be just to the poor
He will be remembered forever.


Revelation to John 12 |
Another vision of a pregnant woman and a dragon; a war was in heaven; the devil was cast out and thrown down to earth; Rejoice to the heavens.


Matthew 13
Jesus - He went to his hometown and he preached in the church; who is this guy? Jesus said a prophet is without power in his own land and he could not do much there.

Today | Pentecost 22 - Proper 26
Collect for the Day
Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift that your faithful people offer you true and laudable service: Grant that we may run without stumbling to obtain your heavenly promises; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
For Mission
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hardwood 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


For our Country


Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage: We humbly beseech you that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of your favor and glad to do your will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion us into one united people. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in your Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to your law, we may show forth your praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in you to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
