FIRST SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY
Faith Trusts in Christ for Life Eternal
June 7, 2026
AS WE GATHER: When the beggar Lazarus died, he was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. For he was truly Abraham’s seed. Like Abraham, he believed in the Lord, and the Lord “counted it to him as righteousness” (Gen. 15:6). The name Lazarus means “God is my help.” The unnamed rich man, on the other hand, did not love and trust in God. For he evidently cared little for the beggar at his gate. And “he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). He who loved and trusted in possessions and prestige died and was in torments in Hades (Luke 16:19-31). Repentance and faith are worked only through Moses and the prophets—that is, the Word of God, for it points us to Christ. Only through His death and resurrection are we brought the comfort of life everlasting.
PSALM 33 (Chanted responsively) v. 12-22 antiphon: v. 20
Our soul waits | for the LORD;*
he is our help | and our shield.
Blessed is the nation whose God | is the LORD,*
the people whom he has chosen as his |
heritage!
The LORD looks down from | heaven;*
he sees all the chil- | dren of man;
from where he sits enthroned he | looks out*
on all the inhabitants | of the earth,
he who fashions the hearts | of them all*
and observes | all their deeds.
The king is not saved by his great | army;*
a warrior is not delivered by his | great
strength.
The war horse is a false hope for sal- |vation,*
and by its great might it cannot | rescue.
Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who | fear him,*
on those who hope in his | steadfast love,
that he may deliver their | soul from death*
and keep them alive in | famine.
Our soul waits | for the LORD;*
he is our help | and our shield.
For our heart is | glad in him,*
because we trust in his | holy name.
Let your steadfast love, O LORD, be up- | on us,*
even as we | hope in you.
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son
and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- | ginning,
is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
Our soul waits | for the LORD;*
he is our help | and our shield.
*COLLECT OF THE DAY:
Pastor: O God,
People: the strength of all who trust in You, mercifully accept our prayers; and because through the weakness of our mortal nature we can do no good thing, grant us Your grace to keep Your commandments that we may please You in both will and deed; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
