Psalm 6:5-8; Antiphon, Psalm 62:1—The words from this portion of the Psalms speak specifically concerning the humanity of Jesus. “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.” In the Athanasian Creed we confess our faith in Jesus with these words, “Equal to the Father as touching His Godhead, and inferior to the Father as touching His manhood.” The words from our Introit speak concerning the prediction of our Savior Jesus coming into this world, entering time and space to be our Savior.
We now enter the non- festival season of the Church year commonly referred to as the Pentecost season. For the next twenty-five Sundays we will continue to focus on the words of our Lord as He speaks to us concerning our life and faith.
Lord, defend Your people from those who hate You and would therefore do harm to Your Church. Help the Church to see that the battle is Yours and that You can do all things. Amen
Collect for Psalm 6: Lord God, you love mercy and tenderness you give life and overcome death. Look upon the weakness and grief of your Church restore it to health by your risen Son, so that it may sing a new song in your praise; through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Collect for Psalm 62: Lord God, in the constancy changing world we look to you as our rock of hope. Hear us as we pour out our hearts to you, and give us your grace and secure protection; through Jesus Christ, your Son our Lord.
