(ESV)\n\n        The Collect is a brief prayer which the Church appoints for\n   each Sunday.  It is usually related to the Gospel or Epistle for\n   the Sunday.  In the historic series of readings, some of the\n   collects have been in use for almost fifteen centuries.  Because\n   the love of God is never ending, and He does not change, our\n   liturgical prayers do not need to change.\n\n        Sunday's Gospel lesson was Saint John's account of the\n   feeding of the 5,000 men, plus women and children.  There in the\n   wilderness, Jesus used five loaves of bread and two fish to\n   satisfy the physical needs of the crowds.  He answered the\n   prayer, ``give us this day our daily bread,'' even before the\n   crowds were aware they had no provisions.\n\n        After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea\n        of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.  And a large\n        crowd was following him, because they saw the signs\n        that he was doing on the sick.  Jesus went up on the\n        mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.\n\n\n        Last Sunday the Church prayed:\n        Almighty God, our heavenly Father, Your mercies are new\n        every morning; and though we deserve only punishment,\n        You receive us as Your children and provide for all our\n        needs of body and soul.  Grant that we may heartily\n        acknowledge Your merciful goodness, give thanks for all\n        Your benefits, and serve You in willing obedience;\n        through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and\n        reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and\n        forever.\n\n\n        This prayer, which we will discuss this week, is both for\n   physical and spiritual blessings.\n\n        May our Lord grant that we acknowledge His love and mercy,\n   that He knows and cares for us, body and soul.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 16, 2026 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4579"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4580,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4579\/revisions\/4580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
