FROM THE BRIGHT CLOUD THE FATHER’S VOICE WAS HEARD: ‘THIS IS MY SON, THE BELOVED. LISTEN TO HIM.
1. There shall be showers of
blessing,” This is the promise of
love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
sent from the savior above.
Refrain:
Showers, showers o blessing, and
showers of blessing we need;
Mercy drops round us are falling,
but for the showers we plead.
2. “There shall be showers of
blessing; - Precious reviving
again; over the hills and the
valleys, sound of abundance
of rain.
3. “There shall be showers of
blessing;” Send them upon
us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a
refreshing; Come, and now
honor Thy word.
4. “There shall be showers of
blessing;” O that today they
might fall, Now as on Jesus
we shall, Now as to God
we’re confessing, Now as
on Jesus we call.
Mercy: Lord have mercy

Genesis 22:1-2,9-13,15-18 ©
God put Abraham to the test.
‘Abraham, Abraham’ he called.
‘Here I am’ he replied. ‘Take your
son,’ God said ‘your only child
Isaac, whom you love, and go
to the land of Moriah. There
you shall offer him as a burnt
offering, on a mountain I will
point out to you.’
  When they arrived at the
place God had pointed out to
him, Abraham built an altar
there, and arranged the wood.
Then he bound his son Isaac
and put him on the altar on top
of the wood. Abraham
stretched out his hand and
seized the knife to kill his son.
  But the angel of the Lord
called to him from heaven.
‘Abraham, Abraham’ he said.
‘I am here’ he replied. ‘Do not
raise your hand against the
boy’ the angel said. ‘Do not
harm him, for now I know you
fear God. You have not refused
me your son, your only son.’
Then looking up, Abraham saw
a ram caught by its horns in a
bush. Abraham took the ram
and offered it as a burnt-
offering in place of his son.
  The angel of the Lord called
Abraham a second time from
heaven. ‘I swear by my own
self – it is the Lord who
speaks – because you have
done this, because you have
not refused me your son, your
only son, I will shower
blessings on you, I will make
your descendants as many as
the stars of heaven and the
grains of sand on the seashore.
Your descendants shall gain
possession of the gates of their
enemies. All the nations of the earth
shall bless themselves by your
descendants, as a reward for your
obedience.’
MED My soul is longing for your
peace, near to you, my God.
1. Lord, you know that my heart
is not proud, and my eyes are
not lifted from the earth.
2. Lofty thoughts have never
filled my mind, far beyond my
sight all ambitious deeds
3. In your peace I have
maintained my soul, I have
kept my heart in your quiet
peace.
4. As a child rests on his mother’s
knee, so I place my soul in
your loving care.
5. Israel, put all your hope in
God, place your trust in him,
now and ever more.
Second reading Romans 8:31-34 ©
With God on our side who can be
against us? Since God did not spare his
own Son, but gave him up to benefit us
all, we may be certain, after such a gift,
that he will not refuse anything he can
give. Could anyone accuse those that
God has chosen? When God acquits,
could anyone condemn? Could Christ
Jesus? No! He not only died for us – he
rose from the dead, and there at God’s
right hand he stands and pleads for us.
GOSPEL: Praise Him, praise Him
Gospel Mark 9:2-10 ©
Jesus took with him Peter and James
and John and led them up a high
mountain where they could be alone by
themselves. There in their presence he
was transfigured: his clothes became
dazzlingly white, whiter than any
earthly bleacher could make them.
Elijah appeared to them with Moses;
and they were talking with Jesus. Then
Peter spoke to Jesus: ‘Rabbi,’ he said
‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let
us make three tents, one for you, one
for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did
not know what to say; they were so
frightened. And a cloud came, covering
them in shadow; and there came a
voice from the cloud, ‘This is my Son,
the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then
suddenly, when they looked round,
they saw no one with them any more
but only Jesus.
  As they came down from the
mountain he warned them to tell no one
what they had seen, until after the Son
of Man had risen from the dead. They
observed the warning faithfully, though
among themselves they discussed what
‘rising from the dead’ could mean.

The Creed
I believe in one God, the Father
almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and
invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the Only Begotten Son of
God, born of the Father before all
ages. God from God, Light from
Light, true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial
with the Father; through him all
things were made. For us men and
for our salvation he came down
from heaven, At the words that
follow, up to and including and
became man, all bow. and by
the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and
became man. For our sake he
was crucified under Pontius
Pilate, He suffered death and
was buried, and rose again on
the third day in accordance
with the Scriptures. He
ascended into heaven and, is
seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again in
glory to judge the living and
the dead and his kingdom will
have no end. I believe in the
Holy spirit, the Lord, the giver
of life, who proceeds from the
the Father and the Son is
adored and glorified, who has
spoken through the prophets. I
believe in one, holy, catholic
and apostolic church. I confess
one Baptism for the
forgiveness of sins and look
forward to the resurrection of
the dead and the life of the
world to come. Amen
