Collect
O God, forasmuch as without you
we are not able to please you;
mercifully grant that your Holy Spirit
may in all things direct and rule our hearts;
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.

Post Communion
Holy and blessed God,
you have fed us with the body and blood of your Son
and filled us with your Holy Spirit:
may we honour you,
not only with our lips
but in lives dedicated to the service
of Jesus Christ our Lord.

First Reading Hebrews 1:1-7;
God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
6But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
7Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

Gradual Hymn
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you
Hallelu, hallelujah

Man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God
Hallelu, hallelujah

Ask, and it shall be given unto you (hallelujah)
Seek, and ye shall find (hallelujah)
Knock, and the door shall be opened unto you (hallelujah)
Hallelu, hallelujah

Seek ye first the kingdom of God (hallelujah)
And His righteousness (hallelujah)
And all these things shall be added unto you (hallelujah)
Hallelu, hallelujah

Alleluia, Alleluia Jesus said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God, And His righteousness Alleluia

Gospel Mark 10:2-16
1And he arose from thence, and cometh into the coasts of Judaea by the farther side of Jordan: and the people resort unto him again; and, as he was wont, he taught them again.
13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
