The readings for Trinity 16, including comments on the changes to the original Collect by Archbishop Cranmer, the Gospel reading (Luke 7:11-17) (The Raising of the Son of the Widow of Nain), and St. Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians (Ephesians 3:13-21) were discussed and illustrated in my Father Ron’s Blog posting for September 12, A.D. 2024 and are also discussed in Episode Seven in the video series, Trinitytide: the Teaching Season, found on the Video Archive page with a podcast version found on the Podcast Homilies page.

This week I have been very busy trying to update the maintenance of my yard, somewhat neglected owing to joint discomfort and procrastination, before the first frost arrives. I have not had time to continues the series of posts on the broad topic of Liturgical Worship. I will once again emphasize that “worship” is the operative word; that is, compared to other descriptive words including praise, joy and song in the list of priorities. Next time, I will focus on more of the repeated uses of Old and New Testament verses in the Holy Communion liturgy in the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.

As always, thank you for your interest and support. Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
