O God, forasmuch as without you
we are not able to please you;
mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit
may in all things direct and rule our hearts;
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

6<\/sup> Seek the Lord and live, 10<\/sup> They hate the one who reproves in the gate, 14<\/sup> Seek good and not evil, Mark 10.17\u201331<\/p>\n\n\n\n 17<\/sup> As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, \u2018Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?\u2019 18<\/sup>Jesus said to him, \u2018Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. 19<\/sup>You know the commandments: \u201cYou shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honour your father and mother.\u201d \u2019 20<\/sup>He said to him, \u2018Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.\u2019 21<\/sup>Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, \u2018You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.\u2019 22<\/sup>When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 23<\/sup> Then Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, \u2018How hard it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!\u2019 24<\/sup>And the disciples were perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, \u2018Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 25<\/sup>It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.\u2019 26<\/sup>They were greatly astounded and said to one another, \u2018Then who can be saved?\u2019 27<\/sup>Jesus looked at them and said, \u2018For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all things are possible.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n 28<\/sup> Peter began to say to him, \u2018Look, we have left everything and followed you.\u2019 29<\/sup>Jesus said, \u2018Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,30<\/sup>who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age\u2014houses, brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields, with persecutions\u2014and in the age to come eternal life. 31<\/sup>But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.\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\/2021-10-10<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sunday 10th October – Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Collect O God, forasmuch as without youwe are not able to please you;mercifully grant that your Holy Spiritmay in all things direct and rule our hearts;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 … <\/p>\n
or he will break out against the house of Joseph like fire,
and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it.

and they abhor the one who speaks the truth.
11<\/sup> Therefore, because you trample on the poor
and take from them levies of grain,
you have built houses of hewn stone,
but you shall not live in them;
you have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
12<\/sup> For I know how many are your transgressions,
and how great are your sins\u2014
you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe,
and push aside the needy in the gate.
13<\/sup> Therefore the prudent will keep silent in such a time;
for it is an evil time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
that you may live;
and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you,
just as you have said.
15<\/sup> Hate evil and love good,
and establish justice in the gate;
it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGospel<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
