The Sunday closest to June 1

O God, your never-failing providence sets in order all things both in heaven and earth: Put away from us, we entreat you, all hurtful things, and give us those things which are profitable for us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Boniface

Pour out your Holy Spirit, O God, upon your church in every land, that like your servant Boniface we might proclaim the Gospel to all nations, that your kingdom might be enlarged and that your holy Name might be glorified in all the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the same Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalms

41

Beatus qui intelligitBCP p. 641

1Happy are they who consider the poor and needy! *the Lord will deliver them in the time of trouble.

2The Lord preserves them and keeps them alive, so that they may be happy in the land; *he does not hand them over to the will of their enemies.

3The Lord sustains them on their sickbed *and ministers to them in their illness.

4I said, “Lord, be merciful to me; *heal me, for I have sinned against you.”

5My enemies are saying wicked things about me: *“When will he die, and his name perish?”

6Even if they come to see me, they speak empty words; *their heart collects false rumors; they go outside and spread them.

7All my enemies whisper together about me *and devise evil against me.

8“A deadly thing,” they say, “has fastened on him; *he has taken to his bed and will never get up again.”

9Even my best friend, whom I trusted, who broke bread with me, *has lifted up his heel and turned against me.

10But you, O Lord, be merciful to me and raise me up, *and I shall repay them.

11By this I know you are pleased with me, *that my enemy does not triumph over me.

12In my integrity you hold me fast, *and shall set me before your face for ever.

13Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, *from age to age. Amen. Amen.

Quid gloriaris?BCP p. 657

1You tyrant, why do you boast of wickedness *against the godly all day long?

2You plot ruin; your tongue is like a sharpened razor, *O worker of deception.

3You love evil more than good *and lying more than speaking the truth.

4You love all words that hurt, *O you deceitful tongue.

5Oh, that God would demolish you utterly, *topple you, and snatch you from your dwelling, and root you out of the land of the living!

6The righteous shall see and tremble, *and they shall laugh at him, saying,

7“This is the one who did not take God for a refuge, *but trusted in great wealth and relied upon wickedness.”

8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; *I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

9I will give you thanks for what you have done *and declare the goodness of your Name in the presence of the godly.

2 Cor 5:11-6:2

11 Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we try to persuade others; but we ourselves are well known to God, and I hope that we are also well known to your consciences. 12 We are not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you an opportunity to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast in outward appearance and not in the heart. 13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 14 For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. 15 And he died for all, so that those who live might live no longer for themselves, but for him who died and was raised for them. 16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view, we know him no longer in that way. 17 So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. 20 So we are ambassadors for Christ, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. 21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 1 As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.” See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation!

Luke 17:1-10

1 Jesus said to his disciples, “Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come! 2 It would be better for you if a millstone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive. 4 And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and says, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive.” 5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6 The Lord replied, “If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. 7 “Who among you would say to your slave who has just come in from plowing or tending sheep in the field, ‘Come here at once and take your place at the table’? 8 Would you not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink’? 9 Do you thank the slave for doing what was commanded? 10 So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, ‘We are worthless slaves; we have done only what we ought to have done!’”

Deut. 11:13-19

13 If you will only heed his every commandment that I am commanding you today—loving the Lord your God, and serving him with all your heart and with all your soul— 14 then he will give the rain for your land in its season, the early rain and the later rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine, and your oil; 15 and he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you will eat your fill. 16 Take care, or you will be seduced into turning away, serving other gods and worshiping them, 17 for then the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you and he will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain and the land will yield no fruit; then you will perish quickly off the good land that the Lord is giving you. 18 You shall put these words of mine in your heart and soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and fix them as an emblem on your forehead. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise.
