The Fifth Sunday
after Easter (or Rogation Sunday).
Psalm 114. In exitu Israel.
WHEN Israel came out of Egypt, * and the house of Jacob
from among the strange people,
2 Judah was his sanctuary, * and Israel his
dominion.
3 The sea saw that, and fled; * Jordan was driven
back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, * and the little
hills like young sheep.
5 What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest?
* and thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams? * and ye
little hills, like young sheep?
7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord:
* at the presence of the God of Jacob;
8 Who turned the hard rock into a standing water, *
and the flint-stone into a springing well.
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, from whom all good things do come; Grant to us thy humble servants,
that by thy holy inspiration we may think those things that be good, and by thy
merciful guiding may perform the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

A modern custom for Rogation Days has been to focus
prayers and actions toward charity to help feed poor folk. On this page we have
provided three ways to do that: http://orderofcenturions.org/documents/rogation.html
