Psalm 75
God assures us that justice will prevail.
Psalm 76
Praise to God who stands with overwhelming power for the poor and for the oppressed.
Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 51.1-12 What’s Ecclesiasticus about?
Praise to God who has rescued us so many times!
Luke 14.1-11 What’s Luke about?
At a meal Jesus insists on curing on the Sabbath and repeats his statement that the religious leaders have made rules that a child or ox can be rescued on the Sabbath, but not an adult. Just as sitting below your rank at a banquet will result in your being honoured when you are called up, so taking those with little respect seriously will ensure you are really alive.
This week’s collect:
Almighty God,
whose chosen servant Abraham obeyed your call,
rejoicing in your promise
that in him the family of the earth is blessed,
give us faith like his,
that in us your promises may be fulfilled;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
