Saint Barnabas

June 11

Grant, O God, that we may follow the example of your faithful servant Barnabas, who, seeking not his own renown but the well-being of your Church, gave generously of his life and substance for the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalms

15

Domine, quis habitabit?BCP p. 599

¹Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? *who may abide upon your holy hill?

²Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, *who speaks the truth from his heart.

³There is no guile upon his tongue; he does no evil to his friend; *he does not heap contempt upon his neighbor.

⁴In his sight the wicked is rejected, *but he honors those who fear the Lord.

⁵He has sworn to do no wrong *and does not take back his word.

⁶He does not give his money in hope of gain, *nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

⁷Whoever does these things *shall never be overthrown.

67

Deus misereaturBCP p. 675

¹May God be merciful to us and bless us, *show us the light of his countenance and come to us.

²Let your ways be known upon earth, *your saving health among all nations.

³Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.

⁴Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, *for you judge the peoples with equity and guide all the nations upon earth.

⁵Let the peoples praise you, O God; *let all the peoples praise you.

⁶The earth has brought forth her increase; *may God, our own God, give us his blessing.

⁷May God give us his blessing, *and may all the ends of the earth stand in awe of him.

³ The rich person toils to amass a fortune, and when he rests he fills himself with his dainties. ⁴ The poor person toils to make a meagre living, and if ever he rests he becomes needy. ⁵ One who loves gold will not be justified; one who pursues money will be led astray by it. ⁶ Many have come to ruin because of gold, and their destruction has met them face to face. ⁷ It is a stumbling-block to those who are avid for it, and every fool will be taken captive by it. ⁸ Blessed is the rich person who is found blameless, and who does not go after gold. ⁹ Who is he, that we may praise him? For he has done wonders among his people. ¹⁰ Who has been tested by it and been found perfect? Let it be for him a ground for boasting. Who has had the power to transgress and did not transgress, and to do evil and did not do it? ¹¹ His prosperity will be established, and the assembly will proclaim his acts of charity.
