The Collect of the Day

Sixth Sunday after the Epiphany

O God, the strength of all who put their trust in you: Mercifully accept our prayers; and because in our weakness we can do nothing good without you, give us the help of your grace, that in keeping your commandments we may please you both in will and deed; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Cyril and Methodius

Almighty and everlasting God, who by the power of the Holy Spirit moved your servants Cyril and Methodius to bring the light of the Gospel to a hostile and divided people: Overcome all bitterness and strife among us by the love of Christ, and make us one united family under the banner of the Prince of Peace; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Psalms

97

Dominus regnavitBCP p. 726

1The Lord is King; let the earth rejoice; *let the multitude of the isles be glad.

2Clouds and darkness are round about him, *righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

3A fire goes before him *and burns up his enemies on every side.

4His lightnings light up the world; *the earth sees it and is afraid.

5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, *at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6The heavens declare his righteousness, *and all the peoples see his glory.

7Confounded be all who worship carved images and delight in false gods! *Bow down before him, all you gods.

8Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice, *because of your judgments, O Lord.

9For you are the Lord, most high over all the earth; *you are exalted far above all gods.

10The Lord loves those who hate evil; *he preserves the lives of his saints and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11Light has sprung up for the righteous, *and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.

12Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, *and give thanks to his holy Name.

Dominus regnavitBCP p. 728

1The Lord is King; let the people tremble; *he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake.

2The Lord is great in Zion; *he is high above all peoples.

3Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; *he is the Holy One.

4“O mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity; *you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.”

5Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God and fall down before his footstool; *he is the Holy One.

6Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.

7He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them.

8“O Lord our God, you answered them indeed; *you were a God who forgave them, yet punished them for their evil deeds.”

9Proclaim the greatness of the Lord our God and worship him upon his holy hill; *for the Lord our God is the Holy One.

Jubilate DeoBCP p. 729

1Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song.

2Know this: The Lord himself is God; *he himself has made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

3Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; *give thanks to him and call upon his Name.

4For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; *and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

Isa. 63:7-14

7 I will recount the gracious deeds of the Lord, the praiseworthy acts of the Lord, because of all that the Lord has done for us, and the great favor to the house of Israel that he has shown them according to his mercy, according to the abundance of his steadfast love. 8 For he said, “Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely”; and he became their savior 9 in all their distress. It was no messenger or angel but his presence that saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. 10 But they rebelled and grieved his holy spirit; therefore he became their enemy; he himself fought against them. 11 Then they remembered the days of old, of Moses his servant. Where is the one who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is the one who put within them his holy spirit, 12 who caused his glorious arm to march at the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to make for himself an everlasting name, 13 who led them through the depths? Like a horse in the desert, they did not stumble. 14 Like cattle that go down into the valley, the spirit of the Lord gave them rest. Thus you led your people, to make for yourself a glorious name.

1 Tim. 1:18-2:8

18 I am giving you these instructions, Timothy, my child, in accordance with the prophecies made earlier about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, 19 having faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience, certain persons have suffered shipwreck in the faith; 20 among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have turned over to Satan, so that they may learn not to blaspheme. 1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for everyone, 2 for kings and all who are in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and dignity. 3 This is right and is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, 6 who gave himself a ransom for all—this was attested at the right time. 7 For this I was appointed a herald and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. 8 I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument;

Mark 11:12-26

12 On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 He said to it, ‘May no one ever eat fruit from you again.’ And his disciples heard it. 15 Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold doves; 16 and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. 17 He was teaching and saying, ‘Is it not written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations”?    But you have made it a den of robbers.’ 18 And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept looking for a way to kill him; for they were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching. 19 And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. 20 In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. 21 Then Peter remembered and said to him, ‘Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.’ 22 Jesus answered them, ‘Have faith in God. 23 Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea”, and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you. 24 So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. 25 ‘Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.’
