The Collect
O God The King of glory, You have exalted
Your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph
to Your kingdom in heaven: we beseech You,
leave us not comfortless, but send Your Holy
Spirit to strengthen us and exalt us to the place
where our Saviour Christ is gone before, Who is
alive and reigns with You, in the unity of The
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Acts 1.15 – 17, 26 – 6
In those days Peter stood up among the believers
(together the crowd numbered about one
hundred and twenty people) and said, ‘Friends,
the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy
Spirit through David foretold concerning Judas,
who became a guide for those who arrested
Jesus— for he was numbered among us and was
allotted his share in this ministry.’
So one of the men who have accompanied us
throughout the time that the Lord Jesus went in
and out among us, beginning from the baptism
of John until the day when he was taken up from
us—one of these must become a witness with us
to his resurrection.’ So they proposed two,
Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also known
as Justus, and Matthias. Then they prayed and
said, ‘Lord, you know everyone’s heart. Show
us which one of these two you have chosen to
take the place in this ministry and apostleship
from which Judas turned aside to go to his own
place.’ And they cast lots for them, and the lot
fell on Matthias; and he was added to the eleven
apostles.
1 John 5.9 - 13
If we receive human testimony, the testimony of
God is greater; for this is the testimony of God
that he has testified to his Son. Those who
believe in the Son of God have the testimony in
their hearts. Those who do not believe in God
have made him a liar by not believing in the
testimony that God has given concerning his
Son. And this is the testimony: God gave us
eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever
has the Son has life; whoever does not have the
Son of God does not have life. I write these
things to you who believe in the name of the Son
of God, so that you may know that you have
eternal life.
John 17.6 - 19
‘Father, I have made your name known to those
whom you gave me from the world. They were
yours, and you gave them to me, and they have
kept your word. Now they know that everything
you have given me is from you; for the words
that you gave to me I have given to them, and
they have received them and know in truth that I
came from you; and they have believed that you
sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not
asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of
those whom you gave me, because they are
yours. All mine are yours, and yours are mine;
and I have been glorified in them. And now I am
no longer in the world, but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect
them in your name that you have given me, so
that they may be one, as we are one. While I was
with them, I protected them in your name that
you have given me. I guarded them, and not one
of them was lost except the one destined to be
lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. But
now I am coming to you, and I speak these
things in the world so that they may have my joy
made complete in themselves. I have given them
your word, and the world has hated them
because they do not belong to the world, just as I
do not belong to the world. I am not asking you
to take them out of the world, but I ask you to
protect them from the evil one. They do not
belong to the world, just as I do not belong to
the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word
is truth. As you have sent me into the world, so I
have sent them into the world. And for their
sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be
sanctified in truth.
Post Communion Prayer
Eternal God, Giver of love and power, Your Son
Jesus Christ has sent us into all the world to
preach the gospel of His kingdom: confirm us in
this mission, and help us to live the good news
we proclaim; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
