Nineteenth Sunday in Trinity

10:30am 22 October AD 2017

Jesus heals a paralytic, J Kirk Richards, 2015

.

That you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—

he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go to your house.”

And he rose and went to his house.MATTHEW 9:6-7

Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity

Opening Hymn: 543 O praise ye the Lord!

[1st Tune: Laudate Dominum (Parry)]

Our worship continues on page 1 of the green liturgy booklets.

The Collect:  Almighty and everlasting God, show your pity upon us your humble servants, that we who trust not in our merits may know, not your judgment, but your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

First reading: Genesis 18.23-32

Psalm 141:1-9

LORD I call upon thee, haste thee ’ unto’ me :   and consider my voice when I ’ cry ’ unto ’ thee.2 Let my prayer be set forth in thy sight ’ as the’ incense : and let the lifting up of my hands ’ be an ’ evening ’ sacrifice.3 Set a watch O Lord be’fore my ’ mouth : and ’ keep the ’ door of my ’ lips.4 O let not mine heart be inclined to any ’ evil ’ thing : let me not be occupied in ungodly

works with the men that work wickedness, lest I ’ eat of such ’ things as ’ please them.* 5 Let the righteous ’ rather ’ smite me ’ friendly : ’ and re’prove’ me.6 But let not their precious balms ’ break my ’ head: yea, I will pray ’ yet a’gainst their ’ wickedness.

- 2 –

7 Let their judges be overthrown in ’ stony ’ places: that they may hear my ’ words for ’ they are ’ sweet.8 Our bones lie scattered be’fore the ’ pit : like as when one breaketh and heweth ’ wood up’on the ’ earth.2nd part9 But mine eyes look unto thee O ’ Lord ’ God : in thee is my trust O ’ cast not ’ out my ’ soul.Glory be to the Father ’ and to • the ’ Son : and ’ to the ’ Holy ’ Ghost;As it was in the beginning is ’ now and • ever ’ shall be : world without ’ end. A ’ — ’ men.

New Testament Lesson: Ephesians 4.17-32Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practise every kind of impurity. But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbour, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labour, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. Let no corrupting talk come out

of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

- 3 -Gradual Hymn:

501 (vs. 1,4) Light of the minds that know him

Gospel Acclamation:Alleluia (x3) We do not live by ’ bread a- ’ lone,but by every word that comes ’ from the • mouth of ’ God. Alleluia  (x3)

The Gospel: Matthew 9:1-8Before the Gospel we sing: Glory to you, O LordAnd getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. And behold, some people brought to him a paralytic, lying on a bed. And when Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven.” And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Rise, pick up your bed and go home.” And he rose and went home. When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.After the Gospel we sing: Praise to you, O Christ
