The Twenty-second Sunday after Trinity

see announcements below
 
LORD, we beseech thee to keep thy household the Church in continual godliness; that through thy protection it may be free from all adversities, and devoutly given to serve thee in good works, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Source: Sacramentary of Bishop Gregory of Rome [604 AD] The Latin used the word familia, which points to the traditional Roman family that was the basic and most important element of society. It included all in the household, inlcuding slaves, and was headed by the pater familias who was responsible for the welfare of all. This concept of the household is the basis of the Gospel story today.[Barbee and Zahl]

 

Numbers xx. 14, Psalm 71, Philippians i. 3   &  St. Matthew xviii. 21

shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant
