The last Sunday in October, and the last of Trinity, as we approach the season of All Saints, Remembrance and the pre-Advent services. Our 10'0 clock Eucharist was celebrated by Father Stephen. The gospel, from St Matthew, recounted the questioning of Jesus by the Pharisees in the Synagogue. father Stephen pointed out that as a practicing Jew, Jesus knew the Law by heart, and that for many people learning the collects, the catechism and other prayers provides a wonderful resource and comfort in times of need. He recounted the collect for the 19th Sunday after Trinity as one he had among his favourites
'Oh God for as much as without Thee we are not able to please Thee, mercifully grant that Thy Holy Spirit may in all things direct and rule our hearts through Jesus Christ our Lord Amen' good for many occasions, not just the 19th Sunday after Trinity!!
