Psalm 111

Anthem Give us the wings of faith – Ernest Bullock (1890-1979)

Give us the wings of faith to rise within the veil, and see the Saints above, how great their joys, how bright their glories be. We ask them whence their victory came; they with one united breath ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, their triumph to his death. They marked the footsteps that he trod, his zeal inspired their breast; and, following their incarnate God, they reached the promised rest. (Words: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748)

The Gospel Luke 17:11-19

n the way to Jerusalem Jesus was going through the region between Samaria and Galilee. As he entered a village, ten lepers approached him. Keeping their distance, they called out, saying, ‘Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!’ When he saw them, he said to them, ‘Go and show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were made clean. Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice. He prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him. And he was a Samaritan. Then Jesus asked, ‘Were not ten made clean? But the other nine, where are they? Was none of them found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?’ Then he said to him, ‘Get up and go on your way; your faith has made you well.’

Post Communion

od our Father, whose Son, the light unfailing, hath come from heaven that he may deliver the world from the darkness of ignorance: may the eyes of our understanding be opened through these holy mysteries that we, knowing the way of life, may walk in it without stumbling; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
