Ps. 119:1–24; Ps. 12 13 14; Deut. 1:1–18; Rom. 9:1–18; Matt. 23:27–39

Psalm 119
Happy are they that walk with God and walk with the blameless; I follow your commandments; be righteous to me, O God.

Romans 9
Paul - I speak the truth in Christ; Israel received the promise of our ancestors; Paul tells the stories of the patriarchs and how God had/has saved the people.

Matthew 23
Jesus continues with his woes to religious leadership; you are like whitewashed tombs - pretty from the outside but nothing but rotting bones on the inside; you build tombs for the prophets but you and your ancestors have killed them as they were sent for salvation of the people; Jesus cries over Jerusalem and wants to gather them in as a mother to her children.

Collect of the Day: Proper 9

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.

A Prayer of Self-Dedication

Almighty and eternal God, 
so draw our hearts to you, 
so guide our minds, 
so fill our imaginations, 
so control our wills, 
that we may be wholly yours, 
utterly dedicated unto you; 
and then use us, we pray you, as you will, 
and always to your glory and the welfare of your people; 
through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

General Thanksgiving

Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.
