JEREMIAH 31.27-34
27 The days are surely coming, says the Lord , when I will sow the
house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of humans and
the seed of animals.
28 And just as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down
, to overthrow, destroy, and bring evil, so I will watch over them to
build and to plant, says the Lord .
29 In those days they shall no longer say:
The parents have eaten sour grapes,
and the childrens teeth are set on edge.
30 But all shall die for their own sins; the teeth of everyone who eats
sour grapes shall be set on edge.
31 The days are surely coming, says the Lord , when I will make a
new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors
when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypta covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, says
the Lord .
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord : I will put my law within them, and I
will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall
be my people.
34 No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, Know
the Lord , for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the
greatest, says the Lord ; for I will forgive their iniquity, and
remember their sin no more.
Hear the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
PSALM 119.97-104
97 Lord how I | love your | law:
it is my medi|tation | all the . day | long.
98 Your commandments have made me wiser | than my |
enemies:
for they re|main with | me for | ever.
99 I have more understanding than | all my | teachers:
for I | study | your com|mands.
100 I am wiser | than the | aged:
be |cause . I have | kept your | precepts.
101 I have held back my feet from every | evil | path:
that| I might | keep your | word;
102 I have not turned a|side from . your | judgements:
for | you your|self are . my | teacher.
103 How sweet are your | words . to my | tongue:
sweeter than | honey | to my | mouth.
104 Through your precepts I get | under|standing:
therefore I |hate all | lying | ways.
2 TIMOTHY 10-17,1-5
0 Now you have observed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life,
my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, 11 my persecutions,
and my suffering the things that happened to me in Antioch,
Iconium, and Lystra. What persecutions I endured! Yet the Lord
rescued me from all of them. 12 Indeed, all who want to live a godly
life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. 13 But wicked people and
impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving others and being
deceived. 14 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and
firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it, 15 and how from
childhood you have known the sacred writings that are able to
instruct you for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All
scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 so that everyone who
belongs to God may be proficient, equipped for every good work. 1
In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living
and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I
solemnly urge you: 2 proclaim the message; be persistent whether the
time is favourable or unfavourable; convince, rebuke, and encourage,
with the utmost patience in teaching. 3 For the time is coming when
people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears,
they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires,
4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to
myths. 5 As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work
of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully.
Hear the word of the Lord,
thanks be to God.
LUKE 18.1-14
1 Then Jesus told them a parable about their need to pray always
and not to lose heart. 2 He said, In a certain city there was a judge
who neither feared God nor had respect for people. 3 In that city
there was a widow who kept coming to him and saying, Grant me
justice against my opponent. 4 For a while he refused; but later he
said to himself, Though I have no fear of God and no respect for
anyone, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will grant her
justice, so that she may not wear me out by continually coming. 6
And the Lord said, Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will
not God grant justice to his chosen ones who cry to him day and
night? Will he delay long in helping them? 8 I tell you, he will
quickly grant justice to them. And yet, when the Son of Man comes,
will he find faith on earth? 9 He also told this parable to some who
trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others
with contempt: 10 Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a
Pharisee and the other a tax=collector. 11 The Pharisee, standing by
himself, was praying thus, God, I thank you that I am not like other
people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax=collector. 12
I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income. 13 But the tax=
collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was
beating his breast and saying, God, be merciful to me, a sinner! 14 I
tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the
other; for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who
humble themselves will be exalted.
Prayers

We pray for all those who mourn. As we remember those who have
died in recent days, we also recall with love and affection those whose
anniversary of death occurs at this time.
