Trinitytide/Ordinary Time
We are now halfway through the Christian year. This week begins the longest season of the liturgical year referred to as Ordinary Time, Trinitytide, Trinity Season, or the Season after Pentecost.
"...from Advent to Trinity Sunday; and from Trinity to Advent. The first half of the church year has set before us the saving life and work of Jesus Christ...at Easter with his glorious resurrection; at the Ascension; at Pentecost with his sending of the Holy Ghost to comfort us...This part of the Christian year concludes on Trinity Sunday when the church gives praise and glory to the whole Trinity, three persons in One God. We are beginning the second half of the Christian year, which prompts us to conform our lives to the truth we have seen in the first half of the year. As Christians, we are not only to know that our salvation is in Jesus Christ, but we ourselves must become like him." -from Common Prayer: Daily Readings on the Lectionary of the Book of Common Prayer

Psalm 116:1-2, 12-19
I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;
he heard my cry for mercy.
Because he turned his ear to me,
I will call on him as long as I live...
Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Worship the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.
Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people,
the sheep of his pasture...
