3 COLLECT, POST COMMUNION PRAYER, READINGS AND MUSIC COLLECT Merciful God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as pass our understanding: pour into our hearts such love toward you that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. FIRST READING Isaiah A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. Who is like me? Let them proclaim it, let them declare and set it forth before me. Who has announced from of old the things to come? Let them tell us what is yet to be. Do not fear, or be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? You are my witnesses! Is there any god besides me? There is no other rock; I know not one. All This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. PSALM Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walk in thy truth : O knit my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name. 12 I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart : and will praise thy Name for evermore. 13 For great is thy mercy toward me : and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell. 14 O God, the proud are risen against me : and the congregations of naughty men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before their eyes. 15 But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy : long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth. 16 O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me : give thy strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid. 17 Shew some token upon me for good, that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed : because thou, Lord, hast holpen me, and comforted me. 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. SECOND READING Romans A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Romans. Brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, Abba! Father! it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be set free 3
4 COLLECT, POST COMMUNION PRAYER, READINGS AND MUSIC from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labour pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. All This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. GOSPEL READING Matthew , All Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord. Jesus put before the crowd another parable: The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from? He answered, An enemy has done this. The slaves said to him, Then do you want us to go and gather them? But he replied, No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn. Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field. He answered, The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen! All This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ. POST COMMUNION PRAYER God of our pilgrimage, you have led us to the living water: refresh and sustain us as we go forward on our journey, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. 4

Liza, who is known for her sense of adventure, whilst holding down a full-time job looking after a family, is the first Filipino domestic worker to scale Mt Kilimanjaro, following her previous climbs in the Himalayas, Malaysia and Japan. Liza says, I want to put the spotlight on the positive contribution made to the world by domestic workers to show the world that we can do more than scrubbing loos, and demonstrate to other woman how to be confident and assertive, all while being a part of the community. There are over 340,000 migrant domestic workers in Hong Kong, most of whom are from poorer countries in Asia. Negative perceptions and attitudes towards this vulnerable group can sometimes lead to abuse and exploitation. HELP for domestic workers (an outreach project of St John s Cathedral) provides advice and assistance on employment, immigration and human rights issues to over 3000 domestic workers every year.
