Twenty-Fourth Sunday after Trinity - 2018

The Twenty-fourth Sunday after Trinity.

Jeremiah 31.10-14

Audite verbum Domini

Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, * and declare it in the isles afar off, and say,

He that scattered Israel will gather him, * and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.

For the LORD hath redeemed Jacob, * and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he.

Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, * and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD,

For wheat, and for wine, and for oil, * and for the young of the flock and of the herd:

And their soul shall be as a watered garden; * and they shall not sorrow any more at all.

Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, * both young men and old together:

For I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, * and make them rejoice from their sorrow.

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, * and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the LORD.

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, we beseech thee, absolve thy people from their offences; that through thy bountiful goodness we may all be delivered from the bands of those sins, which by our frailty we have committed: Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our blessed Lord and Saviour. Amen.
