Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

1. Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

in living echoes of your tone;

as you have sought, so let me seek

your erring children lost and lone.

Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

2. O lead me, Lord, that I may lead

the wandering and the wavering feet;

O feed me, Lord, that I may feed

your hungering ones with manna sweet.

Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

3. And while upon the rock I stand,

secure in you, then strengthen me

that I stretch out a loving hand

to wrestlers with the troubled sea.

Lord, speak to me, that I may speak

6. O use me, Lord, use even me,

just as you will, and when, and where;

until your blessed face I see,

your rest, your joy, your glory share.

FIRST READINGR: The first Reading for the16th Sunday

after Pentecost is written in Chapter 1 of Proverbs, beginning at Verse 20.

Proverbs 1:20-33

The call of wisdom

Proverbs 1:20-33 20Wisdom shouts in the streets wherever

crowds gather. 21She shouts in the marketplaces and

near the city gates as she says to the people,

22"How much longer will you enjoy being stupid fools?

Won't you ever stop sneering and laughing at knowledge?

Proverbs 1:20-33 23Listen as I correct you and tell you

what I think24You completely ignored me and

refused to listen; 25you rejected my advice and paid no attention when I warned you. 26"So when you are struck by some terrible disaster,27or when trouble and distress surround you like a whirlwind, I will laugh and make fun.

Proverbs 1:20-33 28You will ask for my help, but I won't

listen; you will search, but you won't find me.

29No, you would not learn, and you refused to respect the LORD.

30You rejected my advice and paid no attention when I warned you.

Proverbs 1:20-33 31"Now you will eat the fruit of what you

have done, until you are stuffed full with your own schemes.

32Sin and self-satisfaction bring destruction and death to stupid fools.

33But if you listen to me, you will be safe and secure without fear of disaster." 

This is the Word of the Lord.C: Thanks be to God .

psalm 19 cev

R: The Psalm is Psalm 19R: 1The heavens keep telling the

wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done.  

C: 2Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next.  

psalm 19 cev

R: 3They don't speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice.  

C: 4Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world. In the heavens a tent is set up for the sun.  

psalm 19 cev

R: 5It rises like a bridegroom and gets ready like a hero eager to run a race.  

C: 6It travels all the way across the sky. Nothing hides from its heat.

R: 7The Law of the LORD is perfect; it gives us new life. His teachings last forever, and they give wisdom to ordinary people.  

psalm 19 cev

C: 8The LORD'S instruction is right; it makes our hearts glad. His commands shine brightly, and they give us light.

R: 9Worshiping the LORD is sacred; he will always be worshiped. All of his decisions are correct and fair.  

psalm 19 cev

C: 10They are worth more than the finest gold and are sweeter than honey from a honeycomb.

R: 11By your teachings, LORD, I am warned; by obeying them, I am greatly rewarded. 

psalm 19 cev

C: 12None of us know our faults. Forgive me when I sin without knowing it.

SECOND READINGR: The Second Reading is written in

Chapter 3 of James, beginning at Verse 1.

James 3:1-12

Taming the tongue

James 3:1-12

My friends, we should not all try to become teachers. In fact, teachers will be judged more strictly than others.

2All of us do many wrong things. But if you can control your tongue, you are mature and able to control your whole body. 

James 3:1-12 3By putting a bit into the mouth of a

horse, we can turn the horse in different directions. 4It takes strong winds to move a large sailing ship, but the captain uses only a small rudder to make it go in any direction. 5Our tongues are small too, and yet they brag about big things.

James 3:1-12

It takes only a spark to start a forest fire!6The tongue is like a spark. It is an evil

power that dirties the rest of the body and sets a person's entire life on fire with flames that come from hell itself.

James 3:1-12 7All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and

sea creatures can be tamed and have been tamed. 8But our tongues get out of control. They are restless and evil, and always spreading deadly poison. 

James 3:1-12 9-10My dear friends, with our tongues we

speak both praises and curses. We praise our Lord and Father, and we curse people who were created to be like God, and this isn't right.

James 3:1-12 11Can clean water and dirty water both

flow from the same spring? 12Can a fig tree produce olives or a grapevine produce figs? Does fresh water come from a well full of salt water? 

This is the Word of the Lord.C: Thanks be to God.

gospel

M: The Holy Gospel is written in Chapter 8 of the Gospel according to St Mark, beginning at Verse 27.

C: Glory to you, O Lord .

 Mark 8:27-38

Christ must suffer and die

Mark 8:27-3827Jesus and his disciples went to the

villages near the town of Caesarea Philippi. As they were walking along, he asked them, "What do people say about me?" 

28The disciples answered, "Some say you are John the Baptist or maybe Elijah. Others say you are one of the prophets.”

Mark 8:27-3829Then Jesus asked them, "But who do

you say I am?""You are the Messiah!" Peter replied.30Jesus warned the disciples not to tell

anyone about him.

Mark 8:27-3831Jesus began telling his disciples what

would happen to him. He said, "The nation's leaders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law of Moses will make the Son of Man suffer terribly. He will be rejected and killed, but three days later he will rise to life." 32Then Jesus explained clearly what he meant.

Mark 8:27-38

Peter took Jesus aside and told him to stop talking like that. 33But when Jesus turned and saw the disciples, he corrected Peter. He said to him, "Satan, get away from me! You are thinking like everyone else and not like God.”

Mark 8:27-3834Jesus then told the crowd and the

disciples to come closer, and he said: If any of you want to be my followers,

you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross and follow me

Mark 8:27-3835If you want to save your life, you will

destroy it. But if you give up your life for me and for the good news, you will save it.36What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself? 37What could you give to get back your soul?

Mark 8:27-3838Don't be ashamed of me and my

message among these unfaithful and sinful people! If you are, the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

This is the Word of the Lord.C: Praise to you, O Christ.

Prayer after the gospel 

M: Lord Jesus, thank you for suffering and dying for our sakes. Help us to forget ourselves and follow you.

C: Amen.

NICENE CREED

C: We believe in one Lord,Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,true God from true God,begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made.

NICENE CREED

C: For us* and for our salvationhe came down from heaven,was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and

became truly human.For our sake he was crucified

under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.

* This means: us human beings

NICENE CREED

Frances Ridley Havergal, 1836-79, alt.

Take my life, and let it be

1. Take my life, Lord, let me be,

yours to serve you faithfully.

Take my moments and my days,

let them flow in ceaseless praise.

Take my life, and let it be

3. Take my voice, and let me sing

always, only, for my king.

take my lips, and fill them, Lord,

with the message of your word.

Take my life, and let it be

5. Take my will and purpose, too;

they belong, my Lord, to you.

Take my heart; it is your own,

it shall be your royal throne.

Take my life, and let it be

at your feet its treasure-store.

Take myself, and I will be

yours alone, eternally.
