Proper 5 (First Sunday after Trinity 2023)


Cross

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. 

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever and ever.  Amen.

Invitatory

Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous. Praise befits the upright. Praise the Lord with the lyre; make melody to him with the harp of ten strings. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.  (Psalm 33:1-4, NRSV)

Cruciform

To your offspring I will give this land. I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.  (Genesis 12:7; 12:2-3.)

Weeks

I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice; the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. (Hosea 6:6)

Dimissory 

Take heart, my child, your faith has made you well.  (Matthew 9:22, NRSV, alt.)

For the word of the Lord is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses. The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations. Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage.  (Psalm 33:4-7, 11-12)
