MatinsA Living Hope
Blessèd be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ:
by whose great mercy we have been born anew,
born to a living hope:
by the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the dead;
born to an inheritance
which will never perish or wither away:
one that is kept in heaven for us.
By God’s power we are guarded through faith:
for a salvation ready to be revealed
at the end of time.
We rejoice in this,
though now we suffer various trials:
so that the genuineness of our faith,
more precious than gold that is tested by fire,
may result in praise and glory and honour:
at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Gospel Reading - In Jesus’ name
33And so they arrived at Capernaum. When they were settled in the house where they were to stay, he asked them, “What were you discussing out on the road?”
34But they were ashamed to answer, for they had been arguing about which of them was the greatest!
35He sat down and called them around him and said, “Anyone wanting to be the greatest must be the least — the servant of all!”
36Then he placed a little child among them; and taking the child in his arms he said to them, 37“Anyone who welcomes a little child like this in my name is welcoming me, and anyone who welcomes me is welcoming my Father who sent me!”
38One of his disciples, John, told him one day, “Teacher, we saw a man using your name to cast out demons; but we told him not to, for he isn’t one of our group.”
39“Don’t forbid him!” Jesus said. “For no one doing miracles in my name will quickly turn against me.a 40Anyone who isn’t against us is for us. 41If anyone so much as gives you a cup of water because you are Christ’s — I say this solemnly — he won’t lose his reward.
. . . . .Mark 9:33-41- Literally, “will be able to speak evil of me.”
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
