NINETEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

​

The Readings:

Wisdom 18:6-9

Hebrews 11:1-28-19

Gospel: Luke 12:32-48

​

Collect:

Almighty ever-living God,

whom, taught by the Holy Spirit,

we dare to call our Father, bring, we pray,

to perfection in our hearts the spirit of

adoption as your sons and daughters,

that we may merit to enter into the

inheritance which you have promised.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
