First Reading: Exodus 1:8-2:10


8Now

a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. 9He said to his people, Look, the Israelite people are more numerous and more powerful than we. 10Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, or they will increase and, in the event of war, join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land. 11Therefore they set taskmasters over them to oppress them with forced labour. They built supply cities, Pithom and Rameses, for Pharaoh. 12But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread, so that the Egyptians came to dread the Israelites. 13The Egyptians became ruthless in imposing tasks on the Israelites, 14and made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and brick and in every kind of field labour. They were ruthless in all the tasks that they imposed on them. 15The king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah, 16When you act as midwives to the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, she shall live. 17But the midwives feared God; they did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but they let the boys live. 18So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this, and allowed the boys to live? 19The midwives said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife comes to them. 20So God dealt well with the midwives; and the people multiplied and became very strong. 21And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families. 22Then Pharaoh commanded all his people, Every boy that is born to the Hebrews you shall throw into the Nile, but you shall let every girl live.

2Now

a man from the house of Levi went and married a Levite woman. 2The woman conceived and bore a son; and when she saw that he was a fine baby, she hid him for three months. 3When she could hide him no longer she got a papyrus basket for him, and plastered it with bitumen and pitch; she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds on the bank of the river. 4His sister stood at a distance, to see what would happen to him. 5 The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her attendants walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid to bring it. 6When she opened it, she saw the child. He was crying, and she took pity on him. This must be one of the Hebrews children, she said. 7Then his sister said to Pharaohs daughter, Shall I go and get you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you? 8Pharaohs daughter said to her, Yes. So the girl went and called the childs

mother. 9Pharaohs daughter said to her, Take this child and nurse it for me, and I will give you your wages. So the woman took the child and nursed it. 10When the child grew up, she brought him to Pharaohs daughter, and she took him as her son. She named him Moses, because, she said, I drew him out of the water. For the word of the Lord: Thanks be to God

Psalm 124 (said antiphonally)


If the Lord had not been on our side, now may Israel say: if the Lord had not been on our side, when our enemies rose against us, 2 Then they would have swallowed us alive: when their anger was kindled against us. 3 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us, andthe torrent gone overus: the raging waters would have gone clean over us. 4 But praised be the Lord: who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. 5 We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler: the snare is broken, and we have gone free. 6 Our help is in the name of theLord: who has made heaven and earth.

Second Reading: Romans 12:1-8


I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of Godwhat is good and acceptable and perfect. 3For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgement, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. 4For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, 5so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. 6We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; 7ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; 8the exhorter, in exhortation; the

giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. For the word of the Lord: Thanks be to God

The Gospel: Matthew 16:13-20


The Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew chapter sixteen, beginning at the thirteenth verse. Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ 13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is? 14And they said, Some say John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets. 15He said to them, But who do you say that I am? 16Simon Peter answered, You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God. 17And Jesus answered him, Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father in heaven. 18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 20Then he sternly ordered the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah. For the Gospel of the Lord: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Please pray for those who are sick and in need Seth Gunther, Adrian Walsh, Ethan Forcier, Jeannette Jolley, Gwenda Stomann, Eileen Matts, Rosemary Homewood, Diana Kelly, Fr. Alex Kornaczcwski, Spencer Field, Lasse Prosser, Kurt, Jean Evans, Ann Rose.

Saints Days this week: 27th Aug Monica, mother of Augustine (d. 387). Pew Reflections for 10th Sunday after Pentecost Like those who first encountered Jesus, we are called to make our own response to his question: who do you say that I am? How we respond helps determine the future of our lives and Gods mission. Perhaps we feel unworthy or unable to take up the responsibility? Yet Jesus makes its clear that our witness and proclamation is not dependent on our own strength. Like Peters public confession, this is an act of grace and we too can thus be assured that nothing can prevail against it.

Pray that we may rest more fully in Gods grace in publicly confessing Jesus Christ Give thanks for the work and witness of the Amity Foundation, based in Nanjing, China, and pray for Amitys President, Bishop Kuang-hsun Ting and General Secretary, Qiu Zhonghui
