There are numerous prayers which we may have come
across on our spiritual journey and which have become
significant for us: this one is attributed to Richard of
Chichester 1197 - 1253.
Thanks be to thee,
O Lord Christ,
for all the benefits which thou hast given us;
for all the pains and insults which thou hast borne
for us.
O most merciful redeemer,
friend
and brother,
may we know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly;
for thine own sake.

PRAYER AND READINGS
there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said, ‘Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?’ So Moses cried out to the Lord, ‘What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.’ The Lord said to Moses, ‘Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.’ Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarrelled and tested the Lord, saying, ‘Is the Lord among us or not?’ Hear the word of the Lord Thanks be to God A READING FROM THE BOOK OF PSALMS:
PSALM 78.1-4, 11-16 [APBA] 1 Give heed to my teaching, O my people: incline your ears to the words of my mouth; 2. For I will open my mouth in a parable: and expound the mysteries of former times. 3. What we have heard and known: what our forebears have told us, 4. We will not hide from their children, but declare to a generation yet to come: the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, his mighty and wonderful works. 11. For he did marvellous things in the sight of their ancestors: in the land of Egypt, in the country of Zoan. 12. He divided the sea and let them pass through: he made the waters stand up in a heap. 13. In the daytime he led them with a cloud: and all night long with the light of fire.
THEME: JESUS’ AUTHORITY SENTENCE: Come, let us return to the Lord, that we may live before him.
Hosea 6.1a, 2b OUR PARISH PRAYER: Heavenly Father, help us to grow in love, faith and obedience as we discover meaning and direction for
today and hope for tomorrow through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. PRAYER OF THE WEEK: O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: mercifully grant us such a measure of your grace that, running in the way of your commandments, we may obtain your gracious promises, and be made partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A READING FROM EXODUS, CHAPTER 17, VERSES 1-7: From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the Israelites journeyed by stages, as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. The people quarrelled with Moses, and said, ‘Give us water to drink.’ Moses said to them, ‘Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?’ But the people thirsted

OCTOBER 1, 2017– SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
14. He cleft rocks in the wilderness: and gave them drink in abundance as from springs of water. 15. He brought streams out of the rock: and caused the waters to flow down like rivers. 16. But for all this they sinned yet more against him: and rebelled against the Most High in the desert. A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE PHILIPPIANS, CHAPTER 2, VERSES 1-13: If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Hear the word of the Lord Thanks be to God
THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO MATTHEW, CHAPTER 21, VERSES 23-32:
Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ When he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?’ Jesus said to them, ‘I will also ask you one question; if you tell me the answer, then I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin?’ And they argued with one another, ‘If we say, “From heaven”, he will say to us, “Why then did you not believe him?” But if we say, “Of human origin”, we are afraid of the crowd; for all regard John as a prophet.’ So they answered Jesus, ‘We do not know.’ And he said to them, ‘Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. ‘What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, “Son, go and work in the vineyard today.” He answered, “I will not”; but later he changed his mind and went. The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, “I go, sir”; but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?’ They said, ‘The first.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, the tax-collectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax-collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him. This is the Gospel of the Lord Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
