The Collect:
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.
Readings:
Proverbs 25:6-7
Always be humble.
Hebrews: 13 :1-8. 15-16
Love, hospitality, freedom from sin and greed, contentment with what one has – these are all elements of living a good Christian life, and Christ is constant.
Gradual Hymn: 318
Gospel Luke 14:1. 7-14
At a meal, Jesus teaches about humility and hospitality. Those who exalt themselves at the table will be humiliated when they are stripped of their status. It’s better to choose the lowest place first. Similarly, as the host, it’s better to invite those in need, who cannot repay hospitality. Those who do so will be rewarded by God.
Preacher: Rev. Keith Musson
