MASS READINGS

Please use these readings in conjunction with the Order of Service for the Eucharist, commencing at page 119 of the green ‘A Prayer Book for Australia.’

SENTENCE

Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. Luke 18.17

COLLECT

O God, who alone can probe the depths of the heart, you hear the prayer of the humble and justify the repentant sinner: grant us the gift of humility, that, seeing our own faults clearly, we may refrain from judging our neighbour but rely solely upon your saving grace. We make our prayer through your Son, our Saviour, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

FIRST READING Joel 2.23-32 A reading from the Book of the Prophet Joel

O children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he has given the early rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the later rain, as before. The threshing-floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. I will repay you for the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent against you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame. You shall know that I am in the midst

ST GEORGEIVANHOE EAST, MELBOURNE4

of Israel, and that I, the Lord, am your God and there is no other. And my people shall never again be put to shame. Then afterwards I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female slaves, in those days, I will pour out my spirit. I will show portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls.

Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

PSALM 65

1. You are to be praised O | God in | Zion: to you shall vows be paid | you that | answer | prayer.

2. To you shall all flesh come to con| fess their | sins: when our misdeeds prevail against us |you will | purge . them a| way

3. +Blessed are those whom you choose and take to yourself to dwell with|in your | courts: we shall be filled with the good things of your house| of your | holy | temple.

4. You will answer us in your righteousness with terrible deeds O | God our| saviour: you that are the hope of all the ends of the earth and | of the | distant|seas;

ST GEORGEIVANHOE EAST, MELBOURNE 5

5. Who by your strength made | fast the | mountains: you | that are | girded . with | power;

6. Who stilled the raging of the seas the | roaring . of the | waves: and the | tumult | of the | peoples.

7. Those who dwell at the ends of the earth are a|fraid at . your | wonders: the dawn and the | even-ing | sing your | praises.

8. You tend the | earth and | water it: you | make it | rich and | fertile.

9. The river of God is | full of | water: and so providing for the earth you pro|vide | grain for |men.

10. You drench its furrows you level the | ridges . be|tween: you soften it with showers and | bless its | early | growth.

11. You crown the | year .with your | goodness: and the tracks where you have | passed | drip with | fatness.

12. The pastures of the | wilderness . run | over: and the | hills are | girded . with | joy.

13. The meadows are | clothed with | sheep: and the valleys stand so thick with corn they | shout for | joy and | sing.

SECOND READING Luke 18.15-30 A reading from Paul’s Second Letter to Timothy

People were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them; and when the disciples saw it, they sternly ordered them not to do it. But Jesus called for them and said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it.’ A certain ruler asked him, ‘Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ Jesus said to him, ‘Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.

ST GEORGEIVANHOE EAST, MELBOURNE6

You know the commandments: “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honour your father and mother.”’ He replied, ‘I have kept all these since my youth.’ When Jesus heard this, he said to him, ‘There is still one thing lacking. Sell all that you own and distribute the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’ But when he heard this, he became sad; for he was very rich. Jesus looked at him and said, ‘How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.’ Those who heard it said, ‘Then who can be saved?’ He replied, ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.’ Then Peter said, ‘Look, we have left our homes and followed you.’ And he said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not get back very much more in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.’

Hear the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

GOSPEL Luke 18.15-30 Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Luke. Glory to you, Lord Jes-us Christ.
