The Collect
Almighty God,
you show to those who are in error the light of your truth,
that they may return to the way of righteousness:
grant to all those who are admitted
into the fellowship of Christ’s religion,
that they may reject those things
that are contrary to their profession,
and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same;
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – Genesis 15.1-12,17-18
The word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, ‘Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield;
your reward shall be very great.’ But Abram said, ‘O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I
continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?’ And Abram said, ‘You have
given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.’ But the word of the
LORD came to him, ‘This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be
your heir.’ He brought him outside and said, ‘Look towards heaven and count the stars, if you
are able to count them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.’ And he believed
the LORD; and the LORD reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said to him, ‘I am the
LORD who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.’ But he
said, ‘O Lord GOD, how am I to know that I shall possess it?’ He said to him, ‘Bring me a heifer
three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtle-dove, and a young
pigeon.’ He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other;
but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses,
Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep
and terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a
smoking fire-pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the LORD made
a covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to
the great river, the river Euphrates.’
Second Reading – Philippians 3.17–4.1*
Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example
you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them,
and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory
is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is
from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of
4
our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also
enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I
love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
Gospel Reading – Luke 13.31-35
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, ‘Get away from here, for Herod
wants to kill you.’ He said to them, ‘Go and tell that fox for me, “Listen, I am casting out
demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my
work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is
impossible for a prophet to be killed away from Jerusalem.” Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city
that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to
gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were
not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the
time comes when you say, “Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.”’
Post Communion Prayer**
Lord God, you have renewed us with the living bread from heaven;
by it you nourish our faith,
increase our hope, and strengthen our love:
teach us always to hunger for him who is the true and living bread,
and enable us to live by every word that proceeds from out of your mouth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
