Sentence: Blessed are you when people hate you on account of the Son of man. Rejoice and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. Luke 6.23 Collect: Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants; and that they may obtain their petitions make them to ask such things as shall please you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. A Reading from Jeremiah (17.5-10) T hus says the Lord: Cursed are those who trust in mere mortals and make mere flesh their strength, whose hearts turn away from the Lord. [6] They shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when relief comes. They shall live in the parched places of the wilderness, in an uninhabited salt land. [7] Blessed are those who trust in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord. [8] They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not cease to bear fruit. [9] The heart is devious above all else; it is perverse--who can understand it? 10] I the Lord test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according to their ways, to the fruit of their doings. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God Psalm 1 Blessed are they who have not walked in the counsel of the ungodly: nor followed the way of sinners, nor taken their seat amongst the scornful. 2 But their delight is in the law of the Lord: and on that law will they ponder day and night. 3 They are like trees planted beside streams of water: that yield their fruit in due season.
4 Their leaves also shall not wither: and look, whatever they do, it shall prosper. 5 As for the ungodly, it is not so with them: they are like the chaff which the wind scatters. 6 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand up at the judgement: nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 7 For the Lord cares for the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. A Reading from 1 Corinthians (15.12-20) N ow if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? [13] If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; [14] and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. [15] We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ--whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. [16] For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. [17] If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. [18] Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. [19] If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. [20] But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke (6.17-26) Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon. [18] They had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured. [19] And all in the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them. [20] Then he looked up at his disciples and said: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. [21] "Blessed are you who are hungry now, for
you will be filled. "Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22] "Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. [23] Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. [24] "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. [25] "Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. [26] "Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets.

The Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Sunday 17 th February 2019 Jeremiah 17.5-10 Psalm 1 1 Corinthians 15.12-20 Luke 6.17-26 Today we see Jesus healing the sick around him and teaching the disciples about those who are blessed the poor, the hungry, the sorrowful, the reviled and those for whom woe waits the rich, those who are filled, those who laugh and those who are spoken well of. What this means is that God s mission is to those on the margins of society, and that is where the Church is called to minister. Pray that we might be able to go to the margins of society where God s Spirit is at work. Give thanks for the work of the Al-Ahli Arab hospital s child nutrition project, which aims to help babies and toddlers thrive. Text: The Rev Will Johnston, Anglican Board of Mission, 2019
