COLLECTS AND READINGS

Collect for the week: Almighty God, who called your Church to bear witness that you
were in Christ reconciling the world to yourself: Help us to proclaim the good news of your
love, that all who hear it may be drawn to you; through him who was lifted up on the cross,
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
Old Testament: Deuteronomy 4: 1-2, 6-9

So now, Israel, give heed to the statutes and ordinances that I am teaching you to observe,
so that you may live to enter and occupy the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors,
is giving you. You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything
from it, but keep the commandments of the Lord your God with which I am charging you.
You must observe them diligently, for this will show your wisdom and discernment to the
peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise
and discerning people!’ For what other great nation has a god so near to it as the Lord our
God is whenever we call to him? And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as
just as this entire law that I am setting before you today? But take care and watch yourselves
closely, so as neither to forget the things that your eyes have seen nor to let them slip from
your mind all the days of your life; make them known to your children and your children’s
children.
Psalm 15
Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? ♦︎ Who may rest upon your holy hill?
Whoever leads an uncorrupt life ♦︎ and does the thing that is right;
Who speaks the truth from the heart ♦︎ and bears no deceit on the tongue;
Who does no evil to a friend ♦︎ and pours no scorn on a neighbour;
In whose sight the wicked are not esteemed, ♦︎ but who honours those who fear the Lord.
Whoever has sworn to a neighbour ♦︎ and never goes back on that word;
Who does not lend money in hope of gain, ♦︎ nor takes a bribe against the innocent;
Whoever does these things ♦︎ shall never fall.
Epistle: James 1: 17-27
Every generous act of giving, with every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the
Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. In fulfilment of his
own purpose he gave us birth by the word of truth, so that we would become a kind of first
fruits of his creatures. You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen,
slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness.
Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with
meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls. But be doers of the
word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. For if any are hearers of the word
and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at
themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. But those who look
into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers
who act—they will be blessed in their doing. If any think they are religious, and do not bridle
their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and
undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress,
and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
New Testament/Gospel: St Mark 7: 1-8, 14-15, 21-23

Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered
around him, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is,
without washing them. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly
wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; and they do not eat anything
from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they
observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) So the Pharisees and the scribes
asked him, ‘Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat
with defiled hands?’ He said to them, ‘Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is
written, “This people honours me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do
they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.” You abandon the commandment
of God and hold to human tradition.’ Then he called the crowd again and said to them, ‘Listen
to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile,
but the things that come out are what defile.’ For it is from within, from the human heart,
that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit,
licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they
defile a person.’
Post Communion Prayer: God our creator, you feed your children with the true manna,
the living bread from heaven. Let this holy food sustain us through our earthly pilgrimage
until we come to that place where hunger and thirst are no more; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
