A time for reflection and confession:

All: Have mercy on us.
Leader: Jesus Christ, Servant of the poor
All: Have mercy on us.
Leader: Holy Spirit, Breath of life
All: Have mercy on us.
silence
All: Before God, with the people of God,
We confess to our brokenness:
To the ways we wound our lives,
The lives of others,
And the life of the world.
Leader: May God forgive you, Christ renew you,
And the Spirit enable you to grow in love.
All: Amen.
Leader: Let us pray (collect for 9th after Trinity)
All: Gracious Father,
Revive your church in our day,
And make her holy, strong and faithful,
For your glory’s sake
In Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
We say the Lord’s Prayer together
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
Give us today our daily bread,
Forgive us our sins,
As we forgive those who sin against us,
Save us in the time of trial
And deliver us from evil,
For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours,
Now and forever. Amen.

Now let me speak the truth as plainly as I know it in the Anointed One. I am not lying when I say that my conscience and the Holy Spirit are witnesses 2 to my state of constant grief. 3 It may sound extreme; but I wish that I were lost, cursed, and totally separated from the Anointed—if that would change the eternal destination of my brothers and sisters, my flesh and countrymen. 4 They are, after all, Israelites who have been adopted into God’s family; the glory, the covenants, the gift of the law, the temple service, and God’s promises are their rightful heritage. 5 The patriarchs are theirs, too; and from their bloodline comes the Anointed One, the Liberating King, who reigns supreme over all things, God blessed forever. Amen.
6 Clearly it is not that God’s word has failed. The truth is that not everyone descended from Israel is truly Israel.
Leader: Be with us Spirit of God.
All: nothing can separate us from your love.
Leader: Breathe on us, breath of God;
All: fill us with your saving power.
Leader: Speak in us, Wisdom of God;
All: bring strength, healing and peace.

24 These vessels of mercy include all of us. God has invited Jews and non-Jews, insiders and outsiders; it makes no difference. 25 The prophet Hosea says:
I will give a new name to those who are not My people; I’ll call them “My people,”
and to the one who has not been loved, I’ll rename her “beloved.”
26 And it shall turn out that in the very place where it was said to them, “You are not My people,”
they will be called “children of the living God.”
30 So what does all of this mean? Did the non-Jews stumble into a right standing with God without chasing after it? Yes, they found it through faith. 31 And has Israel, who pursued the law to secure a right standing with God, failed to keep the law? Yes again. 32 And why is that? Because Israel did not follow the path of faith. They thought that whatever they needed to be right with God could be accomplished by doing the works of the law; they tripped over the stumbling stone. 33 As the Scriptures say,
Look what I am going to do in Zion.
I’ll put in place a stone that makes them stumble, a rock that trips them up,
and those who trust in it will not be disgraced
Reflection from the Rectory ( )
