Collect of the day
Almighty God, Your Son Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the
life. Give us grace to love one another and walk in the way of His
commandments, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen
The Proclamation of the Word
First Reading
Epistle
1 Peter 2:2-10
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may
grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.
As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen
by God and precious to him— you also, like living stones, are being built
into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: “See, I
lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who
trusts in him will never be put to shame.”
Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not
believe, “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and,
“A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.”
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they
were destined for.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s
special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you
out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but
now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now
you have received mercy.
The Word of the Lord; Thanks be to God! Amen

For our Parish
Bless guide and direct O Lord, each one of us, that we may be
equipped and ready to do Your will for us.
Bless guide and direct our Parish that as a body of believers we
may together reflect the light of God in our community.
We give thanks to You Lord for the gift of Your Son, Jesus
Christ and the Holy Spirit, that He sent to live within us. Help
us to rely and trust always in Your Word Lord, to speak afresh
to us, equipping us daily to be Your people.
Amen

The Peace
ACTS 7:55-60
But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the
glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. “Look,” he said,
“I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.”
At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices,
they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him.
Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named
Saul.
While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, receive my
spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin
against them.” When he had said this, he fell asleep.
The Word of the Lord; Thanks be to God! Amen
Psalm
Psalm 31:1-5, 15-16
1
In you, LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to
shame; deliver me in your righteousness.
2
Turn your ear to me, come quickly to my rescue; be my rock of
refuge, a strong fortress to save me.
3
Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name
lead and guide me.
4
Keep me free from the trap that is set for me, for you are my
refuge.
5
Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver me, LORD, my faithful
God.
15
My times are in your hands deliver me from the hands of my
enemies, from those who pursue me.
16
Let your face shine on your servant; save me in your unfailing
love.
Gospel
JOHN 14:1-14
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in
me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have
told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and
prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that
you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am
going.”
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how
can we know the way?”
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my
Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been
among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the
Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Don’t you believe that I
am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do
not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who
is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the
Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works
themselves. Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the
works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these,
because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my
name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for
anything in my name, and I will do it.
