Upcoming Fixed Holy Days
The Collect
ALMIGHTY God, who didst
give such grace unto thy
holy Apostle Saint
Andrew, that he readily
obeyed the calling of
thy Son Jesus Christ,
and followed him without
delay; Grant unto us
all, that we, being
called by thy holy Word,
may forthwith give up
ourselves obediently to fulfil thy holy
commandments; through
the same Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
The Epistle
Romans 10:9
IF thou shalt confess with thy
mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved. For with
the heart man believeth unto
righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto
salvation. For the scripture
saith, Whosoever believeth on
him shall not be ashamed. For
there is no difference between
the Jew and the Greek: for the
same Lord over all is rich unto
all that call upon him. For
whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him
in whom they have not believed?
and how shall they believe in
him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without
a preacher? and how shall they
preach, except they be sent? as
it is written, How beautiful are
the feet of them that preach the
gospel of peace, and bring glad
tidings of good things ! But
they have not all obeyed the
gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord,
who hath believed our report? So
then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God.
But I say, Have they not heard?
Yes verily, their sound went
into all the earth, and their
words unto the ends of the
world. But I say, Did not Israel
know? First Moses saith, I will
provoke you to jealousy by them
that are no people, and by a
foolish nation I will anger you.
But Esaias is very bold, and
saith, I was found of them that
sought me not; I was made
manifest unto them that asked
not after me. But to Israel he
saith, All day long I have
stretched forth my hands unto a
disobedient and gainsaying
people.
Here Endeth the Epistle
The
Gospel St. Matthew 4:18
JESUS, walking by the sea of
Galilee, saw two brethren,
Simon called Peter, and
Andrew his brother, casting
a net into the sea: for they
were fishers. And he saith
unto them, Follow me, and I
will make you fishers of
men. And they straightway
left their nets, and
followed him. And going on
from thence, he saw other
two brethren, James the son
of Zebedee, and John his
brother, in a ship with
Zebedee their father,
mending their nets; and he
called them. And they
immediately left the ship
and their father. and
followed him.
