    O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Conserva me, DomineBCP p. 599

    1Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; *I have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my good above all other.”

    2All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land, *upon those who are noble among the people.

    3But those who run after other gods *shall have their troubles multiplied.

    4Their libations of blood I will not offer, *nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.

    5O Lord, you are my portion and my cup; *it is you who uphold my lot.

    6My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; *indeed, I have a goodly heritage.

    7I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; *my heart teaches me, night after night.

    8I have set the Lord always before me; *because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.

    9My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; *my body also shall rest in hope.

    10For you will not abandon me to the grave, *nor let your holy one see the Pit.

    11You will show me the path of life; *in your presence there is fullness of joy, and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

    Exaudi, DomineBCP p. 600

    1Hear my plea of innocence, O Lord; give heed to my cry; *listen to my prayer, which does not come from lying lips.

    2Let my vindication come forth from your presence; *let your eyes be fixed on justice.

    3Weigh my heart, summon me by night, *melt me down; you will find no impurity in me.

    4I give no offense with my mouth as others do; *I have heeded the words of your lips.

    5My footsteps hold fast to the ways of your law; *in your paths my feet shall not stumble.

    6I call upon you, O God, for you will answer me; *incline your ear to me and hear my words.

    7Show me your marvelous loving-kindness, *O Savior of those who take refuge at your right hand from those who rise up against them.

    8Keep me as the apple of your eye; *hide me under the shadow of your wings,

    9From the wicked who assault me, *from my deadly enemies who surround me.

    10They have closed their heart to pity, *and their mouth speaks proud things.

    11They press me hard, now they surround me, *watching how they may cast me to the ground,

    12Like a lion, greedy for its prey, *and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

    13Arise, O Lord; confront them and bring them down; *deliver me from the wicked by your sword.

    14Deliver me, O Lord, by your hand *from those whose portion in life is this world;

    15Whose bellies you fill with your treasure, *who are well supplied with children and leave their wealth to their little ones.

    16But at my vindication I shall see your face; *when I awake, I shall be satisfied, beholding your likeness.

    Deut. 31:7-13,24-32:4

    7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel: “Be strong and bold, for you are the one who will go with this people into the land that the Lord has sworn to their ancestors to give them; and you will put them in possession of it. 8 It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” 9 Then Moses wrote down this law, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 Moses commanded them: “Every seventh year, in the scheduled year of remission, during the festival of booths, 11 when all Israel comes to appear before the Lord your God at the place that he will choose, you shall read this law before all Israel in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people—men, women, and children, as well as the aliens residing in your towns—so that they may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God and to observe diligently all the words of this law, 13 and so that their children, who have not known it, may hear and learn to fear the Lord your God, as long as you live in the land that you are crossing over the Jordan to possess.” 24 When Moses had finished writing down in a book the words of this law to the very end, 25 Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, 26 “Take this book of the law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; let it remain there as a witness against you. 27 For I know well how rebellious and stubborn you are. If you already have been so rebellious toward the Lord while I am still alive among you, how much more after my death! 28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officials, so that I may recite these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them. 29 For I know that after my death you will surely act corruptly, turning aside from the way that I have commanded you. In time to come trouble will befall you, because you will do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking him to anger through the work of your hands.” 30 Then Moses recited the words of this song, to the very end, in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel: 1 Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; let the earth hear the words of my mouth. 2 May my teaching drop like the rain, my speech condense like the dew; like gentle rain on grass, like showers on new growth. 3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord; ascribe greatness to our God! 4 The Rock, his work is perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God, without deceit, just and upright is he;

    Rom 10:1-13

    1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes. 5 Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that “the person who does these things will live by them.” 6 But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) 7 “or ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. 11 The scripture says, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. 13 For, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

    Matt. 24:15-31

    15 “So when you see the desolating sacrilege standing in the holy place, as was spoken of by the prophet Daniel (let the reader understand), 16 then those in Judea must flee to the mountains; 17 the one on the housetop must not go down to take what is in the house; 18 the one in the field must not turn back to get a coat. 19 Woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing infants in those days! 20 Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a sabbath. 21 For at that time there will be great suffering, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. 22 And if those days had not been cut short, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. 23 Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look! Here is the Messiah!’ or ‘There he is!’ —do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Take note, I have told you beforehand. 26 So, if they say to you, ‘Look! He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look! He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 28 Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather. 29 “Immediately after the suffering of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of heaven will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see ‘the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven’ with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
