The Fourth Sunday
after Easter.
Psalm
82
Deus stetit
GOD standeth in the congregation of princes : he is a Judge among gods.
2. How long will ye give wrong judgement : and accept the persons of
the ungodly?
3. Defend the poor and fatherless : see that such as are in need and
necessity have right.
4. Deliver the outcast and poor : save them from the hand of the
ungodly.
5. They will not be learned nor understand, but walk on still in
darkness : all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6. I have said, Ye are gods : and ye are all the children of the most
Highest.
7. But ye shall die like men : and fall like one of the princes.
8. Arise, O God, and judge thou the earth : for thou shalt take all
heathen to thine inheritance.
The Collect.
O ALMIGHTY God, who alone canst
order the unruly wills and affections of sinful men; Grant unto thy people,
that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou
dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the world, our
hearts may surely there be fixed, where true joys are to be found; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Personal: Here
is a link to a devotion I have given twice in the last week to two different
groups. It’s only an outline, but you might well be able to fill in the corners
and cracks and use this as a homily - “Facing Down La Santa Muerte”.
