God, who in generous mercy sent the Holy Spirit
upon your Church in the burning fire of your love:
grant that your people may be fervent
in the fellowship of the gospel
that, always abiding in you,
they may be found steadfast in faith and active in service;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen

Post Communion Prayer for the Fifteenth Sunday of Trinity

Keep, O Lord, your Church, with your perpetual mercy;
and, because without you our human frailty cannot but fall,
keep us ever by your help from all things hurtful,
and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

The Readings: Jer. 32. 1-3a, 6-15 &/or 1 Tim. 6. 6-19

Gospel: Luke 16. 19-31
‘There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and who feasted
sumptuously every day. And at his gate lay a poor man named Lazarus, covered
with sores, who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s
table; even the dogs would come and lick his sores. The poor man died and was
carried away by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was
buried. In Hades, where he was being tormented, he looked up and saw Abraham
far away with Lazarus by his side. He called out, “Father Abraham, have mercy on
me, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; for I
am in agony in these flames.” But Abraham said, “Child, remember that during
your lifetime you received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things;
but now he is comforted here, and you are in agony. Besides all this, between you
and us a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who might want to pass from
here to you cannot do so, and no one can cross from there to us.” He said,
“Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house - for I have five
brothers—that he may warn them, so that they will not also come into this place
of torment.” Abraham replied, “They have Moses and the prophets; they should
listen to them.” He said, “No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from
the dead, they will repent.” He said to him, “If they do not listen to Moses and the
prophets, neither will they be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.”’
