THE COLLECT 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 FIRST READING: READER:

A Reading from the Word of God written in the Book of Exodus Chapter 32 beginning at the 1st verse

When the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, "Up, make us gods, who shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him." And the LORD said to Moses, "Go down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves; they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have made for themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it and sacrificed to it, and said, `These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!'"

[9] And the LORD said to Moses, "I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people; now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them and I may consume

3

them; but of you I will make a great nation."

But Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does thy wrath burn hot against thy people, whom thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, `With evil intent did he bring them forth, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth'? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou didst swear by thine own self, and didst say to them, `I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have promised I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it for ever.'" And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do to his people.

Thanks be to God.

PSALM 51:1-11 Miserere mei, Deus 1.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness;* in your great compassion blot out my offenses.

2.

Wash me through and through from my wickedness* and cleanse me from my sin.

3.

For I know my transgressions, * and my sin is ever before me.

4.

Against you only have I sinned* and done what is evil in your sight.

5.

And so you are justified when you speak* and upright in your judgement.

6.

Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, * a sinner from my mother's womb.

7.

For behold, you look for truth deep within me, * and will make me understand wisdom secretly.

4

8.

Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure;* wash me, and I shall be clean indeed.

9.

Make me hear of joy and gladness, * that the body you have broken may rejoice.

10. Hide your face from my sins * and blot out all my iniquities.

11. Create in me a clean heart, 0 God, * and renew a right spirit within me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son;*and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning is now:*and shall be forever. Amen THE EPISTLE A Reading from the Word of God written in the First Letter to Timothy Chapter 1 beginning at verse 12 I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his service, though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the foremost of sinners; but I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life. To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

THE HOLY GOSPEL: Luke 15: 1-10 Gospeller: The Lord be with you All: And also with you Gospeller: A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Luke Glory to Christ our Saviour.

At that time the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. And the Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man receives sinners and eats with them." So he told them this parable: "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, `Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost.' Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. "Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and seek diligently until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, `Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost.' Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

Gospeller: The Gospel of Christ.

ALL: Praise to Christ our Lord.

From the Rector’s iPad: Greetings: There are some saints on the annual calendar about whom we know very little or basically nothing.

One such is St. Ninian whose feast day is observed on September 16 of each year.

6

Generally not a lot is known about St. Ninian, His major biographer is Ailred, Abbot of Rievaux.

Saint Ninian (traditionally 4th-5th century) is a Christian saint first mentioned in the 8th century as being an early missionary among the Pictish peoples of what is now Scotland.

The earliest mention of Ninian of Whithorn is in a short passage of The Ecclesiastical History of the English People by the Northumbrian monk The Venerable Bede in ca. 731.

Ailred wrote in the prologue to his “Life of St. Ninian� written around 1160, states It hath been the desire of many of the wise who have lived before us to commit to writing the lives, the manners, and the words of the saints, especially of those who have flourished in their own times, and thus to redeem from oblivion, and perpetuate the memory of, the example of the more perfect life to the edification of posterity.

It seems as though from childhood Ninian expressed deep faith in God and in his young adult life travelled to Rome, where he was trained for priesthood, ordained and eventually made a bishop by the Bishop of Rome and returned to evangelize his native Britain.

According to Ailred, Ninian immediately set about the ordering of his Diocese. He taught by word and illustrated by example and built new churches The writings of the saints in the medieval era contain many legends, and so there are many

7

stories about his healing the blind and cleansing persons of leprosy, It is good at times to take a look at those persons within the christian family album - the calendar of saints.

Indeed there is for us the wonderful and shining examples of ordinary persons who lived in difficult social, political and economic times and yet found it possible to give hope to others.

May we in our own time be good examples of Christian living.
