Wilson Carlisle, Priest 1847–19 42 Englaih evangelist and priest who founded the Church Army.

                    The Venite (=Psalm95) 

                       at Morning Prayer 

We 

are 

God’s 

people 

& the 

sheep 

of his 

pasture, 

O that today 

you would harken to his voice!

We thank you for the courage and compassion 

of Wilson Carlile while who, after the example of your son, Sean new ways to open your church to diverse leaders as 

beacons of the gospel 

of Christ. Quicken in our hearts to give a witness 

to Jesus…  - Collect

(Aren’t you glad that when we are “marked as Christ’s own forever” in baptism, it is with oil on our forehands and not red paint on our butts!) 

And THAT in SPADES!

                         Monday at 

                      Evening Prayer 

Give 

to us, your serv-ants, that peace which the world cannot give.

                                                Psalm 89:1 

Your love, 

O LORD 

for ever 

will I sing, 

from age 

to age my 

mouth shall proclaim your faithfulness.

Perfect in us what 

is lacking in your gifts, 

of faith, to increase it, 

of hope, to establish it,  

of love, to kindle it ,

that we may live 

in the life of your 

grace & glory

Sunday night

                                       James 3:13b

Show by your 

good life that 

your works 

are done with 

a gentleness 

born of wisdom. 

Sunday

                              Based on Hosea 2:14 

  I 

  will 

  allure 

  you 

  and 

  bring 

  you 

  into the wilderness 

  and speak tenderly to you.

Saturday night

                                               Psalm 136:1, 7a, 9

Give thanks to the Lord 

for he is good; 

 his mercy endures forever.

Who created great lights … the moon 

and the stars to govern the night … his mercy 

                                                      endures forever.

Tomorrow, September 25, we celebrate Sergius (1314-1392)Abbot of Holy Trinity Moscow, a patron saint of Russia and national hero.

  

                           Based on Psalm, 87: 3,6 

I count

Babylon 

+ Egypt 

among those who know me, 

behold, Allepo, Tehran + Sudan, 

in Zion were they born. The singers 

and the dancers will say “All my fresh 

                         springs are in you.” 

Sergius was simple + gentle in nature, mystical in tem-perament, + eager to ensure that his monks should serve the meeds of their neighbors. -Holy Women, Holy Men
