Proper 28 -- Revised

The Collect for Proper 28 reads in part:  Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life.

I gave the presentation on Rules 2 & 3 last night at our football meeting, and I opened with this:

We give thanks for the caretakers of this game who caused these rules to be written for our learning:  Grant us so to hear them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace the proper signals and ever hold fast to the 'All But One' principle.  Amen.

Can't take ourselves too seriously, now can we?

Our rector starts every Bible Study with that Collect. I start all of our DBE meetings with the old Collect from Quinquagesima. (Tells you my age, doesn't it?)

Yes, but can you pronounce it??

Yup. I'm a Rectory Brat, remember? (Emphasis on the latter half of that expression.)

First time comments will be moderated.
