Psalm: 119:97-104
Epistle: Hebrews 8:1-13
Gospel: Mark 2:13-27
Collect: Gracious Father, you commanded us to love you with all out heart, with all our soul and all our strength, and to love our neighbours as ourselves. So fill us with the power of your Ruach haKodesh, that we truly would love you and our neighbours, and that those around us seeing your love in us, would truly turn to you for salvation, healing and joy. This we ask in the name of Yeshua. Amen.



5 July: Holy Spirit, bring to our remembrance the teachings of HaMoshiach. In these moments of contemplation free us from distraction. Help us to listen. Help us to hear. Grant us God's peace. Guard our hearts and minds in HaMoshiach Yeshua. This we ask in his most blessed name. Amen.

6 July: Heavenly Father, you raised up Jan Huss to translate the Bible and liturgy into the Czech language and to die for his faith. Remind us always that your word should always be accessible to your people, and that prayer should be in the common tongue. And help us to be always ready, as Jan was to live fully unto you, and to be ready to die for our faith. In the name of Yeshua we pray. Amen. (red)

7 July: Steadfast God, hold firmly to that which is fragile in us. Enable us to endure in faith, love, and hope. We pray in the name of Yeshua who receives the cares of our souls. Amen.

8 July: Creator of All, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Awed by your steadfast love, we bow before your majesty. With the angels and all the company of heaven, we offer you our thanks and praise. This we ask through our Lord and Saviour Yeshua haMoshiach, who lives and reins with you and the Ruach haKodesh, one God in glory everlasting. Amen.

9 July: O Wisdom From on High, forgive us for claiming to be wiser than we truly are. Teach us the strength that comes in weakness, the wisdom that comes in foolishness. We pray in the name of the crucified HaMoshiach. Amen.

10 July: I bind unto myself today the power of God to hold and lead, his eye to watch, his might to stay, his ear to hearken to my need, the wisdom of my God to teach, his hand to guide, his shield to ward; the word of God to give me speech, his heavenly host to be my guard. Amen. (St. Patrick's Hymn, Moravian Book of Worship,
