All We Do Affects, for Good or Ill, All Other Lives

Posted on by

This sermon was built around the Collect for Labor Day and the readings assigned for Proper 17 in Year B of the Revised Common Lectionary.

Here is that collect:

  1. For Labor Day
    Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another
    that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide
    us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but
    for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for
    our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of
    other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out
    of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns
    with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
    Amen. (BCP p. 261)
