Propers for Ninth Sunday after Trinity (Green)
MORNING
PRAYER Exod.
32:1-24; St. John 4:1-30
Collect
(BCP pg 200) Grant to us, Lord, we beseech thee, the spirit to think and do always such things as are right; that we, who cannot do anything
that is good without thee, may by thee be enabled to live according to thy will; through +Jesus Christ+ our Lord. Amen.
The
Epistle I Corinthians x. 1. Brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed
through the sea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and
did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now these things were our examples,
to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as
it is written, ‘The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.’ (cf. Exod. 32:6b)
Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand. (Num.
25:1-9) Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. (Num. 21:5-6) Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
(Num. 17:6-15) Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written
for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he
fall. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
The Gospel Gloria
tibi, Domine St. Luke xv. 11. +Jesus+ said,
A certain man had two sons: and the younger of them said to his father, Father,
give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. And not many days after, the younger
son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. And
when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land, and he began to be in want. And he went and joined himself
to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into fields to feed swine. And he would fain have filled his belly with the
husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto hi8m. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of
my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say
unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one
of thy hired servants. And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and
had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven,
and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe,
and put it on him: and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: and bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let
us eat, and be merry: for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.
Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing. And he called
one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed
the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. And he was angry and would not go in: therefore came his father
out, and intreated him. And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I
at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends: but as soon as this
thy son was come, which hath devoured they living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf. And he said unto
him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this
thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found. Laus tibi, Christe
