We commit ourselves to work in penitence and faith
for reconciliation between the nations, that all people may, together,
live in freedom, justice and peace.
We pray for all who in bereavement, disability and pain
continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror.
We remember with thanksgiving and sorrow
those whose lives, in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been given and taken away.
We hear the names of the fallen from this parish. They remind us of all who gave their lives in conflict.
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old; age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them.
All affirm
We will remember them.
When you go home, tell them of us and say,
for their tomorrow, we gave our today
Silence is kept.
Ever-living God, we remember those whom you have gathered from the storm of war
into the peace of your presence; may that same peace calm our fears,
bring justice to all peoples and establish harmony among the nations,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Collect
Almighty Father, whose will is to restore all things
in your beloved Son, the King of all: govern the hearts and minds of those in authority,
and bring the families of the nations, divided and torn apart by the ravages of sin,
to be subject to his just and gentle rule; who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – Amos 5.18-24*
Alas for you who desire the day of the LORD! Why do you want the day of the
LORD? It is darkness, not light; as if someone fled from a lion, and was met by a bear; or went into the house and rested a hand against the wall, and was bitten by a
snake. Is not the day of the LORD darkness, not light, and gloom with no brightness in it? I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Even though you offer me your burnt-offerings and grain-offerings, I will not accept them; and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals I will not look upon. Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the melody of your harps.
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Second Reading – 1 Thessalonians 4.13-18
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we
believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that
we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the
archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught
up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Gospel – Matthew 25.1-13
Jesus spoke this parable to the disciples: ‘The kingdom of heaven will be like this. Ten
bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with
5
them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was
delayed, all of them became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a shout, “Look! Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.” Then all those bridesmaids
got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the wise, “Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.” But the wise replied, “No! there will not be enough
for you and for us; you had better go to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.” And while they went to buy it, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready
went with him into the wedding banquet; and the door was shut. Later the other bridesmaids came also, saying, “Lord, lord, open to us.” But he replied, “Truly I tell you, I do not know you.” Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day nor
the hour.’
Post Communion Prayer
God of peace,
whose Son Jesus Christ proclaimed the kingdom and restored the broken to wholeness of life:
look with compassion on the anguish of the world, and by your healing power
make whole both people and nations; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
