Collect
Almighty God,
who showest to them that be in error the light of thy truth,
to the intent that they may return into the way of righteousness:
grant unto all them that are admitted

that are contrary to their profession,
and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same;
through our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen

Readings
A Reading from the Book of Genesis: Genesis 15.1-12, 17-18
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, ‘Do not
be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great.’ But
Abram said, ‘O Lord GOD, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and
the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?’ And Abram said, ‘You have
given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.’ But
the word of the LORD came to him, ‘This man shall not be your heir; no one
but your very own issue shall be your heir.’ He brought him outside and said,
‘Look towards heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’
Then he said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.’ And he believed the
LORD; and the LORD reckoned it to him as righteousness.
Then he said to him, ‘I am the LORD who brought you from Ur of the
Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.’ But he said, ‘O Lord GOD, how
am I to know that I shall possess it?’ He said to him, ‘Bring me a heifer three
years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtle-dove,
and a young pigeon.’ He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying
each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And
when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and
terrifying darkness descended upon him.
When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire-pot and a
flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the LORD made a
covenant with Abram, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the
river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates,

Response:
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
A Reading from Paul’s Letter to the Philippians: Philippians 3.17-4.1
Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live
according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the
cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with
tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their
shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven,
and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He
will transform the body of our humiliation so that it may be conformed to
the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things
subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long
for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved.
Reader:
Response:
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
The Gospel Acclamation - Sung by all

Whoever believes in the Son will not perish;

The Gospel
Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke:
Response: Glory be to thee, O Lord
Luke 13.31-end
At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to him, ‘Get away from
here, for Herod wants to kill you.’ He said to them, ‘Go and tell that fox for
me, “Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and
tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and
the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to
be killed away from Jerusalem.” Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the
prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to
gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings,
and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you
will not see me until the time comes when you say, “Blessed is the one who
comes in the name of the Lord.” ’
Reader:
Response:
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
Praise be to thee, O Christ.
Prayer after Communion
Almighty God,
who seest that we have no power of ourselves to help ourselves:
keep us both outwardly in our bodies,
and inwardly in our souls;
that we may be defended from all adversities
which may happen to the body,
and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Sing the song of great thanksgiving

Hallow’d be God’s name.

Sing the song of those who follow
Christ the one true way
and for those who will tomorrow
turn to Christ, The Way:
this our purpose and our vision
to embrace without division
all those making this decision:
I shall walk The Way.
Sing the song of human healing
known within God’s love
Found when awe and wonder bring in
those in search of love:
may the grace of what is found here
fill the hearts of those who draw near,
thus displacing guilt, regret, fear
in the name of love.
Sing the song of true compassion
from the heart of Christ,
Turn our lives to that same passion
for the sake of Christ:
ours the hands that do the labour,
ours the heart that shall not waiver
love transforming lives of neighbour
in the name of Christ.
Sing the song of all our futures,
all that life becomes;
universal truths that teach us,
how love overcomes:
called to sing of faith and justice
till we truly know what trust is
when your love is all that just is
and your kingdom comes.
