A reading from the Book of Exodus (19: 2-6)

From Rephidim the sons of Israel set out again; and when they reached the wilderness of Sinai, there in the wilderness they

pitched their camp; there facing the mountain Israel pitched camp.

Moses then went up to God, and the Lord called to him from

the mountain, saying, ‘Say this to the House of Jacob, declare this to the sons of Israel, “You yourselves have seen what I did with

the Egyptians, how I carried you on eagle’s wings and brought you to myself. From this you know that now, if you obey my voice and hold fast to my covenant, you of all the nations shall be my very own for all the earth is mine. I will count you a kingdom of priests, a consecrated nation.”’

The Word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.

Resp. Psalm: Ps. 100: We are his people, the sheep of his flock.

Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.

Serve the Lord with gladness.

Come before him, singing for joy. (Response)

Know that he, the Lord, is God.

He made us, we belong to him,

we are his people, the sheep of his flock. (Response)

Indeed, how good is the Lord, eternal his merciful love.

He is faithful from age to age. (Response)

A reading from the letter of St. Paul to the Romans (5: 6-11)

We were still helpless when at his appointed moment Christ died for sinful men. It is not easy to die even for a good man – though of course for someone really worthy, a man might be prepared to die –but what proves that God loves us is that Christ died for us while we were still sinners. Having died to make us righteous, is it likely that he would now fail to save us from God’s anger? When we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, we were still enemies;

now that we have been reconciled, surely we may count on being

saved by the life of his Son? Not merely because we have been reconciled but because we are filled with joyful trust in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have already gained our reconciliation.

The Word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.

Gospel acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia! The sheep that belong to me listen to my voice, says the Lord,

I know them and they follow me. Alleluia! The Lord be with you. And also with you.

+ A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew (9: 36-10-8)

Glory to you, O Lord.

When Jesus saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so

ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to his harvest.’

He summoned his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness.

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee,

and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, the one who was to betray him. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows:

‘Do not turn your steps to pagan territory, and do not enter any Samaritan town; go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close

at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.’

The Gospel of the Lord: praise to you, O Christ

O Lord, who never failest to help and govern them who thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love: Keep us, we beseech thee,

under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.(BCP Collect: Second Sunday after Trinity)
