Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; 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: Isaiah 55:1-9
We’re invited to live an abundant life. The prophet tells us not to spend our money on that which is not bread, but instead to listen and eat what is good. God will make an everlasting covenant with Israel.
Psalm: 63 vv 1-8
1 Corinthians 10:1-13
