The Collect:
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified: hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people, that in their vocation and ministry they may serve you in holiness and truth to the glory of your name; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Readings Zechariah 9:9-12 Zechariah’s prophecy anticipates the coming of Christ, whose humble, all-encompassing rule will bring peace to warring nations and freedom and restoration to God’s oppressed people.
Romans 7:15-25a Paul laments that his desire to obey God’s laws is continually sabotaged by forces within that drive sinful behaviour. Only God’s power through Christ can bring release.
Gradual Hymn: NHW: 2
Gospel: Matthew 11:16-19. 25-end Jesus notes how this generation resists those whom God has sent. He invites those who are humble and needy to receive from him as he reveals God’s kingdom.
Preacher: Fr. Phil Hughes
