The Collect

The First Reading

A reading from the letter of St James

If any one of you is in trouble. He should pray; if anyone

is feeling happy, he should sing a psalm. If one of you is ill, he should send for the elders of the church, and they

must anoint him with oil inthe name of the Lord and pray over him. The prayer of faith will save the sick man and the Lord will raise him up

again; and if has committedany sins, he will be forgiven. So confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, and this will cure

you; the heartfelt prayer ofA good man works very powerfully.

of the Lord
