Let your merciful ears, O Lord,
be open to the prayers of your humble servants;
and that they may obtain their petitions
make them to ask such things as shall please you;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 Kings 19.4\u20138<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4<\/sup> But he himself went a day\u2019s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a solitary broom tree. He asked that he might die: \u2018It is enough; now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my ancestors.\u2019 5<\/sup>Then he lay down under the broom tree and fell asleep. Suddenly an angel touched him and said to him, \u2018Get up and eat.\u2019 6<\/sup>He looked, and there at his head was a cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down again. 7<\/sup>The angel of the Lord came a second time, touched him, and said, \u2018Get up and eat, otherwise the journey will be too much for you.\u2019 8<\/sup>He got up, and ate and drank; then he went in the strength of that food for forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n John 6.35,41\u201351<\/p>\n\n\n\n 35<\/sup> Jesus said to them, \u2018I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 41<\/sup> Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, \u2018I am the bread that came down from heaven.\u2019 42<\/sup>They were saying, \u2018Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, \u201cI have come down from heaven\u201d?\u2019 43<\/sup>Jesus answered them, \u2018Do not complain among yourselves. 44<\/sup>No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day. 45<\/sup>It is written in the prophets, \u201cAnd they shall all be taught by God.\u201d Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. 46<\/sup>Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47<\/sup>Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48<\/sup>I am the bread of life. 49<\/sup>Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50<\/sup>This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51<\/sup>I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n All collects and readings appointed for this day as well as the orders of Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer and Night Prayer can be found at almanac.oremus.org\/2021-08-08<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday 8th August – Tenth Sunday after Trinity Collect Let your merciful ears, O Lord,be open to the prayers of your humble servants;and that they may obtain their petitionsmake them to ask such things as shall please you;through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,who is alive and reigns with you,in the unity of the Holy … <\/p>\nGospel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
