The Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity.
Bonum est confiteri.
Psalm xcii.
IT
is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, * and to sing praises unto thy
Name, O Most Highest;
To
tell of thy loving-kindness early in the morning, * and of thy truth in the
night season;
Upon
an instrument of ten strings, and upon the lute; * upon a loud instrument, and
upon the harp.
For
thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy works; * and I will rejoice in giving
praise for the operations of thy hands.
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.
LORD,
we beseech thee, grant thy people grace to withstand the temptations of the
world, the flesh, and the devil, and with pure hearts and minds to follow thee
the only God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Feast
of St. Luke the Evangelist (18 October):
The
Collect.
ALMIGHTY
God, who didst inspire thy servant Saint Luke the Physician, to set forth in
the Gospel the love and healing power of thy Son; Manifest in thy Church the
like power and love, to the healing of our bodies and our souls; through the
same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The
Epistle. 2 Timothy iv. 5.
WATCH thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: for Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words.
The
Gospel. St. Luke x. 1.
THE Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way. And into whatsoever house ye enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again. And in the same house remain, eating and drinking such things as they give: for the labourer is worthy of his hire.
