O God, you declare your almighty power
most chiefly in showing mercy and pity:
mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace,
that we, running the way of your commandments,
may receive your gracious promises,
and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure;
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
Proverbs 9.1\u20136<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9 Wisdom has built her house, John 6.51\u201358<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 52<\/sup> The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, \u2018How can this man give us his flesh to eat?\u2019 53<\/sup>So Jesus said to them, \u2018Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54<\/sup>Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; 55<\/sup>for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. 56<\/sup>Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. 57<\/sup>Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. 58<\/sup>This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live for ever.\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\/2021-08-15<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday 15th August – Eleventh Sunday after Trinity Collect O God, you declare your almighty powermost chiefly in showing mercy and pity:mercifully grant to us such a measure of your grace,that we, running the way of your commandments,may receive your gracious promises,and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure;through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,who … <\/p>\n
