Psalm 119 | A long celebration of loving to read the word of God -
for the individual - Happy are they whose way is blameless, who
Walk in the law of the Lord; I will do this all of my life, heart,
Please keep me from sin; I am in awe of your laws and way of
life. I keep your way...

Acts 27 | Paul is still traveling to go to the Emperor
Paul warns that the boat might crash; the Northeastern wind
Hit and push them and bounded them - they cast off the cargo -
Paul encourages them and said they will survive but they will
run aground.

Luke 9 | Commissioning of the 12 disciples.
Jesus gave them authority and cast of demons and proclaim
the Kingdom of God to heal - take no provisions - cast off those
who did not want to hear. Herod was perplex. Send off the crowd
You feed them. Jesus took 5 loaves and 2 fish and all were fed and
There were leftovers.

Prayers and Intercessions
Collect for Week
Lord, we pray that your grace may always precede and follow us, that we
may continually be given to good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever. Amen.
(Proper 23, Year B)

Prayer of thanksgiving and the mission of the Church
Almighty God, you sent your Son Jesus Christ to reconcile the world to yourself: We praise and bless you for those whom you have sent in the power of the Spirit to preach the Gospel to all nations. We thank you that in all parts of the earth a community of love has been gathered together by their prayers and labors, and that in every place your servants call upon your Name; for the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours forever. Amen.
A Prayer Attributed to St. Francis
Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

Grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
A Collect for Guidance
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Collect for Peace
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

AR |
May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing
through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
