Collect of the Day
O God, because without you we are not able to please you, mercifully
grant that your Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
First Reading (seated) Genesis 50:15-21
Realizing that their father was dead, Joseph’s brothers said, “What if
Joseph still bears a grudge against us and pays us back in full for all
the wrong that we did to him?” So they approached Joseph, saying,
“Your father gave this instruction before he died, ‘Say to Joseph: I beg
you, forgive the crime of your brothers and the wrong they did in
harming you.’ Now therefore please forgive the crime of the servants
of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him. Then
his brothers also wept, fell down before him, and said, “We are here as
your slaves.” But Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid! Am I in the
place of God? Even though you intended to do harm to me, God
intended it for good, in order to preserve a numerous people, as he is
doing today. So have no fear; I myself will provide for you and your
little ones.” In this way he reassured them, speaking kindly to them.
Gradual Psalm 103:1-13
Please join the choir in singing the REFRAIN:
Bless the LORD, O my soul, *
and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.
Bless the LORD, O my soul, *
and forget not all his benefits.
He forgives all your sins *
and heals all your infirmities;
He redeems your life from the grave *
and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;
He satisfies you with good things, *
and your youth is renewed like an eagle's.
REFRAIN
The LORD executes righteousness *
and judgment for all who are oppressed.
He made his ways known to Moses *
and his works to the children of Israel.
The LORD is full of compassion and mercy, *
slow to anger and of great kindness.
He will not always accuse us, *
nor will he keep his anger for ever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *
nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
REFRAIN
Gradual (continued)
For as the heavens are high above the earth, *
so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.
As far as the east is from the west, *
so far has he removed our sins from us.
As a father cares for his children, *
so does the LORD care for those who fear him.
REFRAIN
Second Reading (seated) Romans 14:1-12
Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of
quarreling over opinions. Some believe in eating anything, while the
weak eat only vegetables. Those who eat must not despise those who
abstain, and those who abstain must not pass judgment on those who
eat; for God has welcomed them. Who are you to pass judgment on
servants of another? It is before their own lord that they stand or fall.
And they will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make them stand.
Some judge one day to be better than another, while others judge all
days to be alike. Let all be fully convinced in their own minds. Those
who observe the day, observe it in honor of the Lord. Also those who
eat, eat in honor of the Lord, since they give thanks to God; while
those who abstain, abstain in honor of the Lord and give thanks to
God.
We do not live to ourselves, and we do not die to ourselves. If we
live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then,
whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end
Christ died and lived again, so that he might be Lord of both the dead
and the living.
Why do you pass judgment on your brother or sister? Or you, why do
you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the
judgment seat of God. For it is written,
"As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,
and every tongue shall give praise to God."
So then, each of us will be accountable to God.
Sequence Hymn “Forgive our sins” Hymn 674
The Gospel (standing) 18:21-35
Peter came and said to Jesus, “Lord, if another member of the church
sins against me, how often should I forgive? As many as seven
times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-
seven times.
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king
who wished to settle accounts with his slaves. When he began the reckoning, one who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to
him; and, as he could not pay, his lord ordered him to be sold,
together with his wife and children and all his possessions, and
payment to be made. So the slave fell on his knees before him,
saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay you everything.’ And
out of pity for him, the lord of that slave released him and forgave
him the debt. But that same slave, as he went out, came upon one of
his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii; and seizing him
by the throat, he said, ‘Pay what you owe.’ Then his fellow slave fell
down and pleaded with him, ‘Have patience with me, and I will pay
you.’ But he refused; then he went and threw him into prison until he
would pay the debt. When his fellow slaves saw what had happened,
they were greatly distressed, and they went and reported to their lord
all that had taken place. Then his lord summoned him and said to
him, ‘You wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt because you
pleaded with me. Should you not have had mercy on your fellow
slave, as I had mercy on you?’ And in anger his lord handed him over
to be tortured until he would pay his entire debt. So my heavenly
Father will also do to every one of you, if you do not forgive your
brother or sister from your heart.”

Rector’s Sabbatical Prayer
God of Immeasurable Love, You have blessed us as companions in the
journey of faith with Carri, and have been with us as we have done your
work together. Be with us in this sabbatical time of exploration and
play. Help us to feel ourselves to be beloved of You, and to know that in
returning and rest we shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be
our strength. In the Name of the One who, day by day, is making all
things new. Amen.

All who seek God and are drawn to Christ are welcome at the Lord's
table. If you desire to come up for a blessing instead of communion, indicate
this by crossing your arms on your chest.
Gluten-free communion wafers are available upon request;
let the clergy know if you require these.
At the 7:45 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. services, we offer an opportunity for prayers for
yourself or a loved one – for healing, support, or thanksgiving – during communion at
the altar rail for the early service and in the southwest corner of the church for the
later service.
