COLLECT FOR THE DAY

Generous God, you endow us with gifts for the good of creation: make us trustworthy in all things, that we may share with Christ the work of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen  

Psalm 123  
1 To you I lift up my eyes :  you who are enthroned in the heavens.
2 As the eyes of servants look  to the hand of their master :  or as the eyes of a maid toward  the hand of her mistress,
3 So our eyes look to the Lord our God :  until he show us his mercy.
4 Have mercy upon us,  O Lord, have mercy upon us :  for we have had our fill of derision.
5 Our souls overflow with  the mockery of those at ease :  and with the contempt of the proud.  

READINGS FOR TODAY
