Collect: Almighty God, who through your only-
begotten Son Jesus Christ have overcome death
and opened to us the gate of everlasting life:
grant that, as by your grace going before us you
put into our minds good desires, so by your
continual help we may bring them to good
effect; through Jesus Christ our risen Lord, who
is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
Post-Communion Prayer: Eternal
God, whose Son Jesus Christ is the
way, the truth, and the life: grant us
to walk in his way, to rejoice in his
truth, and to share his risen life;
who is alive and reigns, now and
forever. Amen
Acts 11.1-18
The apostles and the believers who were in Judea heard that
the Gentiles had also accepted the word of God. So when
Peter
went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers criticized
him,
saying, ‘Why did you go to uncircumcised men and eat with
them?’ Then Peter began to explain it to them, step by step,
saying, ‘I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I
saw
a vision. There was something like a large sheet coming down
from heaven, being lowered by its four corners; and it came
close to me. As I looked at it closely I saw four-footed
animals,
beasts of prey, reptiles, and birds of the air. I also heard a
voice
saying to me, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.” But I replied, “By
no
means, Lord; for nothing profane or unclean has ever entered
my mouth.” But a second time the voice answered from
heaven, “What God has made clean, you must not call
profane.” This happened three times; then everything was
pulled up again to heaven. At that very moment three men,
sent to me from Caesarea, arrived at the house where we
were.
The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a
distinction
between them and us. These six brothers also accompanied
me, and we entered the man’s house. He told us how he had
seen the angel standing in his house and saying, “Send to
Joppa and bring Simon, who is called Peter; he will give you
a
message by which you and your entire household will be
saved.” And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon
them
just as it had upon us at the beginning. And I remembered
the
word of the Lord, how he had said, “John baptized with
water,
but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” If then God
gave
them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the
Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?’ When
they
heard this, they were silenced. And they praised God,
saying,
‘Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that
leads to life.’
Revelation 21.1-6
I, John, saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first
heaven
and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no
more.
And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out
of
heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with
them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be
with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will
be
no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for
the
first things have passed away.’ And the one who was seated
on
the throne said, ‘See, I am making all things new.’ Also he
said,
‘Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.’ Then he
said
to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
beginning
and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from
the
spring of the water of life.
John 13. 31-35
During the supper, when Judas had gone out, Jesus said, ‘Now
the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been
glorified
in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify
him
in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am
with
you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to
the
Jews so now I say to you, “Where I am going, you cannot
come.” I give you a new commandment, that you love one
another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one
another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples,
if
you have love for one another.’
