Psalm 131

I have kept my soul quiet as I think of you, O Lord.

2 Corinthians 3

Paul - We speak of Christ unveiled not like Moses to show the

glory of God; the Lord is Spirit and where there is Spirit there

Is freedom. We are being transformed by the Spirit.

Mark 10

Jesus has a conversation with a devout, rich man; How do I inherit

eternal life? Obey the commandments; sell all you have and follow me;

If you give everything up for me you will have riches beyond measure;

<do you have the abundant life?>

Collect for the Day:

Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners:

Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise;

that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there

be fixed where true joys are to be found; 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.
