Prayer & Praise
The Collect
O God, the protector of all those who trust in you, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy, that, with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal that we lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O Heavenly Father, for our Lord Jesus Christâs sake. Amen.
Deuteronomy 5:12-15
âObserve the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter or your male servant or your female servant, or your ox or your donkey or any of your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you. You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore, the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Psalm 130
Out of the deep have I called unto you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice.
O let your ears consider well the voice of my supplications.
If you, Lord, were to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who could abide it?
For there is mercy with you; therefore you shall be feared.
I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; in his word is my trust.
My soul waits for the Lord, more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption;
And he shall redeem Israel from all their sins.
2 CORINTHIANS 4:5-12
For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, âLet light shine out of darkness,â has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
 But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12So death is at work in us, but life in you.
MARK 2:23-28
One Sabbath he was going through the grainfields, and as they made their way, his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. And the Pharisees were saying to him, âLook, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?â And he said to them, âHave you never read what David did, when he was in need and was hungry, he and those who were with him:  how he entered the house of God, in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those who were with him?â And he said to them, âThe Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath.â
