The Twentieth Sunday after Trinity.
Deus
misereatur.
Psalm lxvii.
GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us, * and show us
the light of his countenance, and be merciful unto us;
That thy way may be known upon earth, * thy saving health
among all nations.
Let the peoples praise thee, O God; * yea, let all
the peoples praise thee.
O let the nations rejoice and be glad; * for thou
shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
Let the peoples praise thee, O God; * yea, let all
the peoples praise thee.
Then shall the earth bring forth her increase; * and
God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing.
God shall bless us; * and all the ends of the world
shall fear him.
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 ALMIGHTY and most merciful God, of thy bountiful goodness keep us, we beseech thee, from all things that may hurt us; that we, being ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully* accomplish those things that thou wouldest have done; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
{*the 1549 BCP has, “may with free hearts accomplish…”}

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.
