This Week at Saint Peter
SUNDAY WORSHIP
This Sunday in the Christian Church Calendar is called the Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Called to contemplate the cost of discipleship today, we might be helped by translating Paul’s request to Philemon into our prayer of the day: Refresh my heart in Christ. Strengthened by the company and forgiveness of the Christ in the blessed sacrament and recalling God’s grace in remembrance of baptism, we can be strengthened in this hour to “choose life”—to choose life in God as our own.
THIS SUNDAY’S READINGS
Deuteronomy 30:15-20
Psalm 1
Philemon 1-21
Saint Luke 14:25-33
THIS SUNDAY’S PRAYER OF THE DAY
Direct us, O Lord God, in all our doings with your continual help, that in all our works, begun, continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy name; and finally, by your mercy, bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
