The Eve of Trinity Sunday

                                                    Canticle 13 

                                    Benedictus es, Domine 

         

        

       

        Glory 

        to you, 

        behold-

        ing the 

        depths; 

        in the 

        high

        vault of 

        heaven, 

        glory to you.  

        Glory to you, 

        Father, Son and Holy Spirit; 

        we will praise you & highly 

                               exalt you for ever.

Today we remember John Elliot, Puritan missionary to the Algonquin, 1604 -1690

                                      Proverbs 8:24-27, 31-32

When 

there 

were 

no 

depths, 

I was 

brought 

forth…

Before the mountains had  been shaped, before the 

hills… or the world’s first bit of soil…  When he 

drew a circle on the face of the deep… I was 

there beside him, rejoicing in the inhabited 

world and delighting in the human race. 

And now, my children, listen to me: 

happy are they who 

keep my ways.

 Pray today for justice for

 Native Americans, for 

respect for the Native 

American traditions & 

cultures, for concern for 

their welfare, for the 

spirit of prayer, for those 

who teach the church to sing.

          ”We pray that we 

           may so desire to 

           share your  Good 

           News with others  

          that we labor for 

          mutual understand-

           ing and trust” 

                         - Collect 

Friday evening

                                          2 John 5

  

  let 

  us 

  love one another

Today we remember Alcuin, deacon, scholar and Abbot of Tours, born about 730, died 804, who “was chiefly responsible for the preservation of the classical heritage of western civilization.“

                                                       Psalm 16: 19

   

   You 

   will

   show 

   me 

   the 

   path 

   of life; 

   in your presence  

   there is fullness of joy, & in your

   right hand pleasures for evermore.

Illumine our minds, we pray, that amid the uncertainties & confusions of our own time we may show for your eternal truth

Thursday Evening Prayer

                                                   Psalm 18:33

  It is 

  God 

  who 

  girds 

  me 

  with 

  strength 

  and makes my way secure.

Saint Dunstan, 909–988, Archbishop of Canterbry

                                                       Psalm 24:1

      

      

      

       The 

       earth

       is the 

       Lord’s 

       and all 

       that 

       is in it; 

       the world 

       and all who dwell therein.  

Dunstan, became a monk, 

then a bishop, then in 960, 

Archbishop of Canterbury,

 the 26th I think, the current 

one being Justin Welby.  A 

monk-bishop, he was ins-

trumental in the revival of 

monasticism. He is considered 

the patron saint of those who

 work with metals and those 

who craft bells.
