The Collect:
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray and to give more than either we desire or deserve: pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask but through the merits and mediation of 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.
Readings - Isaiah 51:1-6
The prophet urges the people to look to the example of their ancestors when they seek the Lord. Heaven and earth will not last, and it is in the Lord alone that they will find comfort and salvation.
Romans 12:1-8
Paul urges his hearers not to follow the ways of the world, but to allow God to renew their minds and hearts so that they may be better able to discern God’s will regarding their lives and their different callings.
Gradual Hymn: 395
Gospel Matthew 16:13-20
Jesus asks his disciples who the people think he is, and hears various answers: John the Baptist, Elijah, one of the prophets. He then asks who they think he is, and Peter gives the divinely inspired answer: ‘You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’ Commending Peter, Jesus warns the disciples not to tell anyone.
