Second Sunday after Trinity and St. Barnabas (11 June) - 2018

The Second Sunday after Trinity.

Jude 1-4, 24-25

Qui sunt in Deo Patre dilectis

To them that are sanctified by God the Father, * and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:

Mercy unto you, and peace, * and love, be multiplied.

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, *it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you

That ye should earnestly contend for the faith * which was once delivered unto the saints.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, * who were before of old ordained to this condemnation,

Ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, * and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, * and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, * dominion and power, both now and ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.

The Collect.

O LORD, who never failest to help and govern them who thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Barnabas the Apostle

(11 June)

Psalm 1

Beatus vir, qui non abiit, &c.

1. BLESSED is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners : and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord : and in his law will he exercise himself day and night.

3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side : that will bring forth his fruit in due season.

4. His leaf also shall not wither : and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

5. As for the ungodly, it is not so with them : but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

6. Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement : neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

7. But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : and the way of the ungodly shall perish.

The Collect

O Lord God Almighty, who didst endue thy holy Apostle Barnabas with singular gifts of the Holy Ghost; Leave us not, we beseech thee, destitute of thy manifold gifts, nor yet of grace to use them alway to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
