I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” Psalm 122:1

Psalm 30

You restored me, O Lord;

Joy comes in the morning;

Don’t hold your face from me, O Lord;

Let us dance!

My heart sings to you!

Revelation 10

The apocalypse continues with the Seventh Angel; the prophet is under a gag order not to tell of the prophecy; the prophet eats the scroll and it is sweet yet gives a stomach ache; Prophesize.

Luke 11

Jesus was praying; disciples - teach us to pray; Jesus - Lord’s prayer, be persist, ask - you will receive, search - you will find it, knock - the door will be open; You will be given the Holy Spirit.

Collect of the Day: Proper 24

Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ you have revealed your glory among the nations: Preserve the works of your mercy, that your Church throughout the world may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

For Joy in God's Creation

O heavenly Father, who has filled the world with beauty: Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Good Use of Leisure

O God, in the course of this busy life, give us times of refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For the Unemployed

Heavenly Father, we remember before you those who suffer want and anxiety from lack of work. Guide the people of this land so to use our public and private wealth that all may find suitable and fulfilling employment, and receive just payment for their labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
