Collect: O God, forasmuch as without

you we are not able to please you;

mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit

may in all things direct and rule our

hearts; 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. Amen

.

Post-Communion Prayer: Holy and

blessed God, you have fed us with the

body and blood of your Son and filled

us with your Holy Spirit: may we

honour you, not only with our lips but

in lives dedicated to the service of Jesus

Christ our Lord. Amen

Amos 5.6-7, 10.15

Seek the Lord and live, or he will break out against the house of

Joseph like fire, and it will devour Bethel, with no one to quench it.

Ah, you that turn justice to wormwood, and bring righteousness to

the ground! They hate the one who reproves in the gate, and they

abhor the one who speaks the truth. Therefore because you

trample on the poor and take from them levies of grain, you have

built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not live in them; you have

planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine. For I

know how many are your transgressions, and how great are your

sins-- you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and push

aside the needy in the gate. Therefore the prudent will keep silent

in such a time; for it is an evil time. Seek good and not evil, that

you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you,

just as you have said. Hate evil and love good, and establish

justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will

be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

Hebrews 4.12 – end

Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any

two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from

marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid

bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account.

Since, then, we have a great high priest who has passed through

the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our

confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to

sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every

respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore

approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may

receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Mark 10.17-31

As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before

him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit

eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one

is good but God alone. You know the commandments: 'You shall

not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You

shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your

father and mother.” He said to him, "Teacher, I have kept all these

since my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You

lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the

poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow

me." When he heard this, he was shocked and went away

grieving, for he had many possessions. Then Jesus looked around

and said to his disciples, "How hard it will be for those who have

wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" And the disciples were

perplexed at these words. But Jesus said to them again, "Children,

how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel

to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to

enter the kingdom of God." They were greatly astounded and said

to one another, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at them

and said, "For mortals it is impossible, but not for God; for God all

things are possible." Peter began to say to him, "Look, we have left

everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, there is no

one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or

children or fields, for my sake and for the sake of the good news,

who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age--houses,

brothers and sisters, mothers and children, and fields with

persecutions--and in the age to come eternal life. But many who

are first will be last, and the last will be first."
