Collect for the Day
Almighty God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ is the light of
the world: Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and
Sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ's glory, that he
may be known, worshipped, and obeyed to the ends of the earth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit
lives and reigns, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
THE WORD OF GOD & PROCLAMATION OF THE HOLY GOSPEL
The Lesson ...................................................................... I Samuel 3:1-10(11-20)
Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word
of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were not widespread. At
that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not
see, was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out,
and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the LORD, where the ark of
God was. Then the LORD called, "Samuel! Samuel!" and he said, "Here
I am!" and ran to Eli, and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he
said, "I did not call; lie down again." So he went and lay down. The
LORD called again, "Samuel!" Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said,
"Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, my son; lie
down again." Now Samuel did not yet know the LORD, and the word of
the LORD had not yet been revealed to him. The LORD called Samuel
again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, "Here I am,
for you called me." Then Eli perceived that the LORD was calling the
boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, "Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you
shall say, `Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.'" So Samuel went
and lay down in his place.

Now the LORD came and stood there, calling as before, "Samuel!
Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening."
Psalm 139: 1-5,12-17 ............................................................... Domine, probasti
1 LORD, you have searched me out and known me; *
you know my sitting down and my rising up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
2 You trace my journeys and my resting-places *
and are acquainted with all my ways.
3 Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, *
but you, O LORD, know it altogether.
4 You press upon me behind and before *
and lay your hand upon me.
5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; *
it is so high that I cannot attain to it.
12 For you yourself created my inmost parts; *
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
13 I will thank you because I am marvelously made; *
your works are wonderful, and I know it well.
14 My body was not hidden from you, *
while I was being made in secret
and woven in the depths of the earth.
15 Your eyes beheld my limbs, yet unfinished in the womb;
all of them were written in your book; *
they were fashioned day by day,
when as yet there was none of them.
16 How deep I find your thoughts, O God! *
how great is the sum of them!
17 If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand; *
to count them all, my life span would need to be like yours.

The Epistle ..................................................................... I Corinthians 6:12-20
"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are beneficial. "All things
are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything. "Food is meant
for the stomach and the stomach for food," and God will destroy both one
and the other. The body is meant not for fornication but for the Lord, and
the Lord for the body. And God raised the Lord and will also raise us by
his power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?
Should I therefore take the members of Christ and make them members
of a prostitute? Never! Do you not know that whoever is united to a
prostitute becomes one body with her? For it is said, "The two shall be
one flesh." But anyone united to the Lord becomes one spirit with him.
Shun fornication! Every sin that a person commits is outside the body; but
the fornicator sins against the body itself. Or do you not know that your
body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God,
and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price;
therefore glorify God in your body.
The columbine flower is symbol of innocence. Legend has it that the fallen spurs of the
columbine flower resemble the Virgin Mary's shoes, which were worn on her visits to see
Elizabeth. According to legend, Mary's shoes caused the columbine flower to spring up
beneath her, symbolizing her innocence. The fallen petals also resembled tiny doves, which
are a symbol of the Holy Spirit, and the seven petals of the cultivated columbine flower
represent the Holy Spirit's seven gifts. [para .www.ehow.com]

Sequence Hymn ............................................................................. Manibusan
“Open My Eyes”
The Gospel ................................................................................... John 1:43-51
The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to
him, "Follow me." Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and
Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found him about
whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph
from Nazareth." Nathanael said to him, "Can anything good come out of
Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." When Jesus saw
Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, "Here is truly an Israelite in
whom there is no deceit!" Nathanael asked him, "Where did you get to
know me?" Jesus answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Philip
called you." Nathanael replied, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are
the King of Israel!" Jesus answered, "Do you believe because I told you
that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these."
And he said to him, "Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and
the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man."
