Psalm 71 | Background - An elderly person plea for help -
O Lord - be my Rock, deliver me, rescue me, don’t cast me off
Because of my age. My mouth praises you. Don’t be far from me.
Throughout my life I have learned and praise you; my lips
shout for joy and praise you.

Galatians 5 | Background
Live by the Spirit not the flesh; give up bad things; live in the fruits of
the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness,
Gentleness, and self control. We have been transformed through Christ.

Matthew 16 |
Jesus asks the disciples who people say Jesus is? Peter - you are the
Messiah - the Son of the Living God. Jesus notes that this is what the
Church will be built upon and tell no one now that He is the Messiah.

Prayers and Intercessions
Collect for Proper 5
O God, from whom all good proceeds: Grant that by your inspiration we may think those things that are right, and by your merciful guiding may do them; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
A Collect for Guidance
Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For Creation
We give you thanks, most gracious God, for the beauty of earth and sky
and sea; for the richness of mountains, plains, and rivers; for the songs of
birds and the loveliness of flowers. We praise you for these good gifts,
and pray that we may safeguard them for our posterity. Grant that we
may continue to grow in our grateful enjoyment of your abundant
creation, to the honor and glory of your Name, now and forever. Amen

Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.
