The Readings for this Sunday
From the Hebrew scriptures we hear the story of the food which God miraculously provided for the prophet Elijah and the widow of Zarephath and her family. There is famine throughout the land, which Elijah has prophesied because of the sinfulness of King Ahab. The story shows that God is present to care for his prophet and also for this woman who, though a foreigner, has shared with Elijah what little she has. The word of the Lord is powerful to fulfill its promise even beyond the borders of Israel.
A hymn to the Lord, who forms the world and rules in justice, who heals and cares for the orphan and widow.
This reading tells how Christ, the eternal high priest, has entered into the heavenly sanctuary to present the ultimate and perfect sacrifice of himself for sins. It is the author’s theme that Jesus has superseded the need for all other priestly offerings such as were made annually on the Day of Atonement. These were never more than foreshadowings of what Christ was to accomplish. The earthly temple, which was but a copy of the true sanctuary in heaven, is no longer of significance. As the end of the ages draws near, our brother Jesus, who died like we must, appears before God on our behalf and will appear once more to save those who wait for him.
In the gospel lesson Jesus warns against religious officials who love honors and flattery, and he then points out a poor widow who makes an offering of what little she possesses. Together the two stories stress a theme found often in the gospels: those who think themselves religious are in great danger of living a life of hypocrisy, while genuine trust in God may be found among the least obvious. The religious officials take advantage of people like widows, and wealthy persons make a show of giving large sums of money, but the woman herself is an example of the greatest generosity. Her gift of all she has points forward to Jesus’ self-offering.

Collect for Sunday
O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Thanksgiving Prayer for Heroic Service
O Judge of the nations, we remember before you with grateful hearts the men and women of our country who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy. Grant that we may not rest until all the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines. This we ask in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen

A Prayer for a Bishop Search
O God, we ask you to bring us your next faithful servant to minister to the people of Southern California and Yuma, Arizona as we work to bring healing and peace through a commitment to justice, a desire to grow deeper relationships with Christ and one another, and a foundation of respecting the dignity of all. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord,

Your gift to St. Hugh's makes a difference. It allows us to be the fulfillment of this prayer. It allows us to be open so that "
all who seek you [God] here may find you, and be filled with your joy and peace."
It is always the right time. Donate to the mission and ministry of St. Hugh's. Your gifts--of time, talent, and treasure--make it possible to be present in Idyllwild so that we can both invite and then "enable questioning, open-minded people to discover for themselves, the significance of Jesus Christ."
