Collect
Blessed Lord,
who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning:
help us so to hear them,
to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them
that, through patience, and the comfort of your holy word,
we may embrace and for ever hold fast
the hope of everlasting life,
which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
First Reading – Nehemiah 8.1-4a,8-12*
All the people gathered together into the square before the Water Gate. They told the scribe
Ezra to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had given to Israel. Accordingly, the
priest Ezra brought the law before the assembly, both men and women and all who could hear
with understanding. This was on the first day of the seventh month. He read from it facing the
square before the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and
the women and those who could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive to
the book of the law. The scribe Ezra stood on a wooden platform that had been made for the
purpose. So they read from the book, from the law of God, with interpretation. They gave the
sense, so that the people understood the reading. And Nehemiah, who was the governor, and
Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, ‘This day
is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn or weep.’ For all the people wept when they heard
the words of the law. Then he said to them, ‘Go your way, eat the fat and drink sweet wine and
send portions of them to those for whom nothing is prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord;
and do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.’ So the Levites stilled all the
people, saying, ‘Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.’ And all the people went their
way to eat and drink and to send portions and to make great rejoicing, because they had
understood the words that were declared to them.

Second Reading – Colossians 3.12-17
As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint
against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must
forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect
harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in
the one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and
admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns,
and spiritual songs to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the
name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Gospel – Matthew 24.30-35
Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth
will mourn, and they will see “the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven” with power
and great glory. And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will
gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. ‘From the fig
tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you
know that summer is near. So also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near,
at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things
have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
Post Communion Prayer*
God of all grace,
your Son Jesus Christ fed the hungry
with the bread of his life
and the word of his kingdom:
renew your people with your heavenly grace,
and in all our weakness
sustain us by your true and living bread;
who is alive and reigns, now and for ever. Amen.
