Collect
Jesus, you spoke
as no one ever spoke before or after you;
and you chose Antony by his preaching
to win thousands from selfishness to love;
help us also to overcome our frailty
and use for you every gift we have.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - Faithful teaching
13Hold tightly to the pattern of truth I taught you, especially concerning the faith and love Christ Jesus offers you.a 14Guard well the splendid, God-given ability you received as a gift from the Holy Spirit who lives within you.
2 1O Timothy, my son, be strong with the strength Christ Jesus gives you. 2For you must teach others those things you and many others have heard me speak about. Teach these great truths to trustworthy men who will, in turn, pass them on to others.
3 Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Jesus Christ, just as I do.
. . . . . 2 Timothy 1:13,14; 2:1-3- Literally, “and love that is in Christ Jesus.”

and all, for your love’s sake.
