    O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    146

    Lauda, anima meaBCP p. 803

    1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul! *I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

    2Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, *for there is no help in them.

    3When they breathe their last, they return to earth, *and in that day their thoughts perish.

    4Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help! *whose hope is in the Lord their God;

    5Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; *who keeps his promise for ever;

    6Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, *and food to those who hunger.

    7The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind; *the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

    8The Lord loves the righteous; the Lord cares for the stranger; *he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked.

    9The Lord shall reign for ever, *your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Hallelujah!

    Laudate DominumBCP p. 804

    1Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God! *how pleasant it is to honor him with praise!

    2The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *he gathers the exiles of Israel.

    3He heals the brokenhearted *and binds up their wounds.

    4He counts the number of the stars *and calls them all by their names.

    5Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *there is no limit to his wisdom.

    6The Lord lifts up the lowly, *but casts the wicked to the ground.

    7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *make music to our God upon the harp.

    8He covers the heavens with clouds *and prepares rain for the earth;

    9He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *and green plants to serve mankind.

    10He provides food for flocks and herds *and for the young ravens when they cry.

    11He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *he has no pleasure in the strength of a man;

    12But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him, *in those who await his gracious favor.

    13Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; *praise your God, O Zion;

    14For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *he has blessed your children within you.

    15He has established peace on your borders; *he satisfies you with the finest wheat.

    16He sends out his command to the earth, *and his word runs very swiftly.

    17He gives snow like wool; *he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

    18He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *who can stand against his cold?

    19He sends forth his word and melts them; *he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.

    20He declares his word to Jacob, *his statutes and his judgments to Israel.

    21He has not done so to any other nation; *to them he has not revealed his judgments. Hallelujah!

    Acts 19:11-20

    11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that when the handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were brought to the sick, their diseases left them, and the evil spirits came out of them. 13 Then some itinerant Jewish exorcists tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims.” 14 Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this. 15 But the evil spirit said to them in reply, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?” 16 Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, mastered them all, and so overpowered them that they fled out of the house naked and wounded. 17 When this became known to all residents of Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, everyone was awestruck; and the name of the Lord Jesus was praised. 18 Also many of those who became believers confessed and disclosed their practices. 19 A number of those who practiced magic collected their books and burned them publicly; when the value of these books was calculated, it was found to come to fifty thousand silver coins. 20 So the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed.

    Num. 27:12-23

    12 The Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abarim range, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites. 13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled with me. You did not show my holiness before their eyes at the waters.” (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 “Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint someone over the congregation 17 who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the Lord may not be like sheep without a shepherd.” 18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon him; 19 have him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and commission him in their sight. 20 You shall give him some of your authority, so that all the congregation of the Israelites may obey. 21 But he shall stand before Eleazar the priest, who shall inquire for him by the decision of the Urim before the Lord; at his word they shall go out, and at his word they shall come in, both he and all the Israelites with him, the whole congregation.” 22 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him. He took Joshua and had him stand before Eleazar the priest and the whole congregation; 23 he laid his hands on him and commissioned him—as the Lord had directed through Moses.

    Mark 1:14-20

    14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15 and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.’ 16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake—for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, ‘Follow me and I will make you fish for people.’ 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 As he went a little farther, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 Immediately he called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired men, and followed him.
