Amen.

Scripture Readings for Trinity Sunday

Old Testament:
Psalm 23, 99
Isaiah 6:1-8

New Testament:

The Epistle:
The Book of Revelation 4:1-11
AFTER this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes before and behind. And the first was like a lion, and the second like a calf, and the third had a face as a man, and the fourth was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come. And when those living creatures give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are, and were created.

The Gospel:
St. John 3:1-15
THERE was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

On Trinity Sunday we celebrate the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, one God in three Persons. We were made in their image high above all things. So let us look up! Let us look to our Holy God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as we long to be in heaven. Let us bring forth the light of the Trinity into our darkened world.

Jesus is the Name high above every name, and He illuminates our path with the light of His Truth by the Holy Spirit, consuming the darkness that once ruled over our souls and held us in bo***ge to sin and death. God is transforming us into a "peculiar people," a "holy race," a radical people that walk the earth on "mission" as holy Ambassadors whose hearts are just as aflame with the fire of the Holy Ghost as the disciples were in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost. We are a people who are willing to lay down our lives and take great risks in order to make God's kingdom known in the world! We also consider how many Christian brothers and sisters around the world, since the Book of Acts, have taken courageous risks in order to carry the saving message of Jesus Christ into all the world. In fact, countless numbers of Saints have been martyred for taking the gospel of Jesus Christ to those who have never known Him, all in the hope of growing Christ's one Holy Apostolic and Catholic (universal) Church. This, of course, is totally counter-cultural to a sinful, hopeless, and dying world around us. But it boldly proclaims to the broader culture that we are citizens of a very different kingdom, one that is not only counter-cultural, but which is also Divine and eternal. God's kingdom endures for ever! And so we, His people, are each called to a life of manifesting and demonstrating His kingdom on the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit.

We therefore confess our sins and come humbly before the Holy Altar of Christ's body and blood, the Sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, that brings together in one place both heaven and earth to celebrate Christ. We receive His grace and His Divine nature through the mystery of His real presence at the Eucharistic Altar We then humbly, yet boldly, go out as His holy army of apostles (sent ones) into the darkness of this present age to declare Him as Savior and King! We pray in earnestness for Him to use us according to His Divine will for the great harvest of souls in these very perilous times. And so we cry out for Jesus to help us crucify our own self-importance, our own agendas, our own will, in order that He might increase and be incarnated through us. We want to be just like Him! It is for this purpose and calling that we gather together every Sunday in the bonds of love and discipleship to celebrate our life as a radical faith community that is committed to being devoted followers of Jesus Christ and His teachings! We want to: "Glorify God and Serve People." So, if you are a true seeker of Jesus Christ, or if you are seriously exploring your spiritual journey, then come and experience the supernatural, mystical, loving, and trans-figurative experience that can only be found in the Risen One, Jesus Christ.

St. Michael's celebrates the Holy Mass this Sunday at 10:10am (sung). We also hold our Discipleship Class at 9:00am. Wednesdays at 6:30pm we have Catechism Class, and Evening Prayer at 7:30pm. St. Michael's is located in Broken Arrow, OK at 8837 S Garnett Rd. We would be delighted to see you and help you to discover your Divine path into the great Mercies of Jesus Christ!

10:10am - Holy Communion

Wednesday, May 27
Catechesis 6:30pm, followed by Evening Prayer at 7:30pm

Liturgical Season: Whitsuntide (Pentecost)
Liturgical Color: Red - On the Day of Pentecost, and throughout Whitsuntide, Red represents the cloven tongues of fire that fell on all the disciples in the Upper Room when the Holy Spirit and power was poured out on them as promised by the Lord. It also represents the fire in their hearts as the came out from the Upper Room and began to share the Gospel.

The Collect for this Sunday - Pentecost, commonly called Whitsunday:

O GOD, who as at this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful people, by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit; Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

Scripture Readings for Pentecost, commonly called Whitsunday

Old Testament:
Joel 2:21-32
Psalm 145

New Testament:

The Epistle:
The Book of Acts 2:1-11
WHEN the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

The Gospel:
St. John 14:15-31
JESUS said unto his disciples, If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words; and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe. Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.

COME HOLY SPIRIT!!

AND SUDDENLY THERE CAME A SOUND FROM HEAVEN AS A MIGHTY RUSHING WIND! AND THEY WERE ALL FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST!
___________________________________________________
It was on the day of Pentecost that the disciples were gathered together in one place and in one accord. They were in the Upper Room waiting as they were commanded by the Lord. Now, after all of His teachings and miracles, after His death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, they had a profound confidence in their understanding of who Christ was. Yet they did not know, nor did they understand, what would come next; they only knew that they were obeying the Lord’s command to wait. So they prayed and waited with great anticipation for what would come next. It was now the day of Pentecost, which by Jewish tradition celebrates the giving of the Torah on Mt. Sinai. And just like Moses in the midst of the fire on the Mount when he received the Law on tablets of stone, those who were in the Upper Room saw and felt the fire of heaven fall. They were each filled with the Holy Spirit who wrote God’s Law on the tablets of their hearts! And when they came down out of the Upper Room, they ignited a fire in the earth that reached around the world, and which burns just as powerfully in the hearts of men today as it did back then!

Jesus is the Name high above every name, and He illuminates our path with the light of His Truth by the Holy Spirit, consuming the darkness that once ruled over our souls and held us in bo***ge to sin and death. God is transforming us into a "peculiar people," a "holy race," a radical people that walk the earth on "mission" as holy Ambassadors whose hearts are just as aflame with the fire of the Holy Ghost as the disciples were in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost.

Week of May 10, 2026
Fourth Sunday after Easter - Rogation Sunday

Liturgical Season: Eastertide
Liturgical Color: White - White represents the newness, purity and hope of life found in the Resurrection of our Savior, who washed away all our guilty stains and made us white as snow, giving us eternal life!

The Collect for this Sunday - Fifth Sunday after Easter:

O LORD, from whom all good things do come; Grant to us thy humble servants, that by thy holy inspiration we may think those things that are good, and by thy merciful guiding may perform the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Fifth Sunday after Easter - Rogation Sunday

Old Testament Readings:

Psalm 45, 47
Ezek. 34:25-31

New Testament Readings:

The Epistle: St. James 1:22-27
BE ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

The Gospel:
St. John 16:23b-33
VERILY, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace In the world ye shall have tribulation but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN!
For those who are followers of Jesus Christ, this is the most important season of the liturgical year when we celebrate Christ's resurrection from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the risen and victorious Lamb of God!!! He defeated our last enemy, which is death. No longer does death have victory over us because we have also been resurrected IN Him, raised up into eternal life in Christ! His love, grace, and salvation are beyond amazing!

And so it is through Christ's Resurrection that we are richly participating in something that is completely counter-cultural, something that proclaims to the broader culture around us that we are citizens of a very different Kingdom, one that is not only counter-cultural, but also eternal. God's kingdom will endure for ever!! And so we, His people, are each called to a life of manifesting and demonstrating His kingdom on the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our prayer, as taught to us by Jesus, is: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!" In exchange, we humble ourselves, mortifying our own earthly desires and agendas as we worship and adore our Lord and King, asking Him to forgive all our sins and cleanse us with His sacrificial blood. Amen.

We therefore confess our sins and come humbly before the Holy Altar of Christ's body and blood, the Sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, that brings together in one place both heaven and earth to celebrate Christ. We receive His grace and His Divine nature through the mystery of His real presence at the Eucharistic Altar in the bread and the wine! We then humbly, yet boldly, go out as His holy army of apostles (sent ones) into the darkness of this present age to declare Him as Savior and King! We pray in earnestness for Him to use us according to His Divine will for the great harvest of souls in these very perilous times. And so we cry out for Jesus to help us crucify our own self-importance, our own agendas, our own will, in order that He might increase and be incarnated through us. We want to be just like Him! It is for this purpose and calling that we gather together on Sunday, physically and in Spirit. We do this in the bonds of love and discipleship to celebrate our life as a radical faith community that is committed to being devoted followers of Jesus Christ and His teachings! We want to: "Glorify God and Serve People" - If you are a true seeker of Jesus Christ, or if you are seriously exploring your spiritual journey, then come and experience the supernatural, mystical, loving, and trans-figurative experience that can only be found in the Risen One, Jesus Christ!

The Collect for this Sunday - Fourth Sunday after Easter:

Amen.

Third Sunday after Easter:

Old Testament Readings:

Psalm 116
Job 19:21-27

New Testament Readings:

The Epistle:
St. James 1:17-21
EVERY good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

The Gospel:
St. John 16:5-15
JESUS said unto his disciples, Now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

ALMIGHTY God, who showest to them that are in error the light of thy truth, to the intent that they may return into the way of righteousness; Grant unto all those who are admitted into the fellowship of Christ's Religion, that they may avoid those things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Third Sunday after Easter:

Old Testament Readings:

Psalm 113, 124
1Sam 2:1b-10

New Testament Readings:

The Epistle:
1 St. Peter 2:11-17
DEARLY beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: as free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.

The Gospel:
St. John 16:16-22
JESUS said to his disciples, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father? They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith. Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

ALLELUIA! CHRIST IS RISEN!
For those who are followers of Jesus Christ, this is the most important season of the liturgical year when we celebrate Christ's resurrection from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. Christ is the risen and victorious Lamb of God!!! He defeated our last enemy, which is death. No longer does death have victory over us because we have also been resurrected IN Him, raised up into eternal life in Christ! His love, grace, and salvation are beyond amazing!

And so it is through Christ's Resurrection that we are richly participating in something that is completely counter-cultural, something that proclaims to the broader culture around us that we are citizens of a very different Kingdom, one that is not only counter-cultural, but also eternal. God's kingdom will endure for ever!! And so we, His people, are each called to a life of manifesting and demonstrating His kingdom on the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. Our prayer, as taught to us by Jesus, is: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!" In exchange, we humble ourselves, mortifying our own earthly desires and agendas as we worship and adore our Lord and King, asking Him to forgive all our sins and cleanse us with His sacrificial blood. Amen.

We therefore confess our sins and come humbly before the Holy Altar of Christ's body and blood, the Sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, that brings together in one place both heaven and earth to celebrate Christ. We receive His grace and His Divine nature through the mystery of His real presence at the Eucharistic Altar in the bread and the wine! We then humbly, yet boldly, go out as His holy army of apostles (sent ones) into the darkness of this present age to declare Him as Savior and King! We pray in earnestness for Him to use us according to His Divine will for the great harvest of souls in these very perilous times. And so we cry out for Jesus to help us crucify our own self-importance, our own agendas, our own will, in order that He might increase and be incarnated through us. We want to be just like Him! It is for this purpose and calling that we gather together on Sunday, physically and in Spirit. We do this in the bonds of love and discipleship to celebrate our life as a radical faith community that is committed to being devoted followers of Jesus Christ and His teachings! We want to: "Glorify God and Serve People" - If you are a true seeker of Jesus Christ, or if you are seriously exploring your spiritual journey, then come and experience the supernatural, mystical, loving, and trans-figurative experience that can only be found in the Risen One, Jesus Christ!

St. Michael's celebrates the Holy Mass this Sunday at 10:10am (sung). We also hold our Discipleship Class at 9:00am. Wednesday's we have Catechism Class at 6:00pm, followed by Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer at 7:00pm. St. Michael's is located in Broken Arrow, OK at 8837 S Garnett Rd.
