The second half of Trinitytide begins today. Having considered God’s love for us, our responsibilities of duty, and the sufficiency of God’s grace to fulfil these duties, we now reflect directly on Christian character and virtue - how a Christian must live.

Trinity XIII to XVII deal, respectively, with the internal graces of love, holiness, singleness of heart, patience and humility. These lead to the more external graces needed in the daily work of life.

The Collect for today begins with a declaration that only by God’s help can we offer to him a true and praiseworthy service. We ask God that by his help we may faithfully serve him in this life and hereafter obtain his heavenly promises.

The Epistle and Gospel point to the same truth that it is not the law which saves us, but that our justification (being made right with God) and our growth in holiness, are only possible through faith in Jesus Christ.

Love of God and love of men are brought together in the Collect as we pray for the grace to: “do unto thee true and laudable service”. The only true and laudable (praiseworthy) service is love.

The Good Samaritan. George Frederic Watts. 1849-1904. (Luke 10)
