Collect

God our redeemer,

you have delivered us from the power of darkness

and brought us into the kingdom of your Son:

grant, that as by his death he has recalled us to life,

so by his continual presence in us he may raise us to eternal joy;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.

First Reading – Acts 10.44–48

While Peter was speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. The

circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the

Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, for they heard them speaking

in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, ‘Can anyone withhold the water for

baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?’ So he

ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to

stay for several days.

Second Reading – 1 John 5.1-6*

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone

who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of

God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this,

that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for

whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers

the world, our faith. Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes

that Jesus is the Son of God? This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus

Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is

the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.

Gospel – John 15.9-17

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in

my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept

my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have said these things to you so

that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. ‘This is my

commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater

love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do

what I command you. I do not call you servants any longer, because the servant does

not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have

made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. You did not

choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will

4

last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving

you these commands so that you may love one another.’

Post Communion Prayer**

God our Father,

whose Son Jesus Christ gives the water of eternal life:

may we thirst for you,

the spring of life and source of goodness,

through him who is alive and reigns, now and for ever. Amen.
