For Seventh Sunday after Trinity the Collect was derived from the Gelasian Sacramentary plus Archbishop Cranmer’s paraphrase of James 2:17a. The epistle reading is another lesson in Christian virtues and the wages of son from the pen of the Apostle Paul (Romans 6:19-23). The Gospel lesson, Mark 8:1-9, is the first of only two citations from St. Mark’s Gospel in Trinitytide, the second happening on the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity. It is St. Mark’s account of the miraculous feeding of the 4,000, otherwise known as the miracle of the loaves and fishes. These reading are discussed and illustrated in Episode Four in our video series, Trinitytide: The Teaching Season. The Podcast Homily for Trinity 7 The audio-only version in MP3 format is linked from the Podcast Archive page. A related homily for Trinity 7, based on the Morning Prayer Psalm reading for the day, Psalms 133, 134 and 138, is linked from the Podcast Homilies-Morning Prayer page.
As noted in previous posts regarding Trinitytide, the events discussed are focused on the teachings of Jesus Christ, reflected in the heavy reliance upon the Gospel of Luke, from which there are 12 readings. For Trinity 7, the reading from the Gospel of Mark is owed to the fact that it is unique to St. Mark’s account.
As always, thank you for your interest and support. Glory be to God for all things! Amen!
