Proper 9 (Fifth Sunday after Trinity)

Cross

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

May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be always acceptable unto you, O Lord,
my rock and my redeemer.

(Psalm 19:14, NRSV, alt.)

Invitatory

Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion!
Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!
Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,
humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope;
today I declare that I will restore to you double. 

(Zechariah 9:9, 12, NRSV.)

Cruciform

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; 
for I am gentle and humble in heart, 
and you will find rest for your souls. 
For my yoke is easy, 
and my burden is light.  

(Matthew 11:29-30, NRSV.) 

Weeks

Come unto me, all you who travail 
and are heavy laden, 
and I will give you rest. 

(Matthew 11:28, AV & NRSV.)

Dimissory 

Let your way be known upon earth;
your saving health among all nations.
Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;
nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God;
and sustain us with your Holy Spirit.

(BCP 1979.)
