SUMMARY:Holy Saturday (Year A)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nO God\, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that\, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath\, so may we await with him the coming of the third day\, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nFirst Reading\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nJob 14:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nA mortal\, born of woman\, few of days and full of trouble\, comes up like a flower and withers\, flees like a shadow and does not last. Do you fix your eyes on such a one? Do you bring me into judgment with you? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one can. Since their days are determined\, and the number of their months is known to you\, and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass\, look away from them\, and desist\, that they may enjoy\, like laborers\, their days. For there is hope for a tree\, if it is cut down\, that it will sprout again\, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth\, and its stump dies in the ground\, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die\, and are laid low; humans expire\, and where are they? As waters fail from a lake\, and a river wastes away and dries up\, so mortals lie down and do not rise again; until the heavens are no more\, they will not awake or be roused out of their sleep. Oh that you would hide me in Sheol\, that you would conceal me until your wrath is past\, that you would appoint me a set time\, and remember me! If mortals die\, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my release should come. \n\n\n\nLamentations 3:1-9\,19-24 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI am one who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath; he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light; against me alone he turns his hand\, again and again\, all day long. He has made my flesh and my skin waste away\, and broken my bones; he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation; he has made me sit in darkness like the dead of long ago. He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has put heavy chains on me; though I call and cry for help\, he shuts out my prayer; he has blocked my ways with hewn stones\, he has made my paths crooked. The thought of my affliction and my homelessness is wormwood and gall!! My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me. \n\n\n\nBut this I call to mind\, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases\, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion\,” says my soul\, “therefore I will hope in him.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 31:1-4\,15-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 In you\, O Lord\, have I taken refuge;  let me never be put to shame; *       deliver me in your righteousness.2 Incline your ear to me; *       make haste to deliver me.3 Be my strong rock\, a castle to keep me safe\,  for you are my crag and my stronghold; *       for the sake of your Name\, lead me and guide me.4 Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me\, *       for you are my tower of strength.15 My times are in your hand; *       rescue me from the hand of my enemies\,       and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *       and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\n1 Peter 4:1-8 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSince therefore Christ suffered in the flesh\, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin)\, so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God. You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do\, living in licentiousness\, passions\, drunkenness\, revels\, carousing\, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation\, and so they blaspheme. But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead\, so that\, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged\, they might live in the spirit as God does. The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all\, maintain constant love for one another\, for love covers a multitude of sins. \n\n\n\nA reading from the Gospels\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nMatthew 27:57-66 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb.The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, “Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, `After three days I will rise again.’ Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, `He has been raised from the dead\,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them\, “You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.” So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. \n\n\n\nJohn 19:38-42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter these things\, Joseph of Arimathea\, who was a disciple of Jesus\, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews\, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus\, who had at first come to Jesus by night\, also came\, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes\, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths\, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified\, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so\, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation\, and the tomb was nearby\, they laid Jesus there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Good Friday (Year A)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, we pray you graciously to behold this your family\, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed\, and given into the hands of sinners\, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nIsaiah 52:13-53:12 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSee\, my servant shall prosper;   he shall be exalted and lifted up\,   and shall be very high.Just as there were many who were astonished at him   —so marred was his appearance\, beyond human semblance\,   and his form beyond that of mortals—so he shall startle many nations;   kings shall shut their mouths because of him;for that which had not been told them they shall see\,   and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate.Who has believed what we have heard?   And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?For he grew up before him like a young plant\,   and like a root out of dry ground;he had no form or majesty that we should look at him\,   nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.He was despised and rejected by others;   a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity;and as one from whom others hide their faces   he was despised\, and we held him of no account.Surely he has borne our infirmities   and carried our diseases;yet we accounted him stricken\,   struck down by God\, and afflicted.But he was wounded for our transgressions\,   crushed for our iniquities;upon him was the punishment that made us whole\,   and by his bruises we are healed.All we like sheep have gone astray;   we have all turned to our own way\,and the Lord has laid on him   the iniquity of us all.He was oppressed\, and he was afflicted\,   yet he did not open his mouth;like a lamb that is led to the slaughter\,   and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent\,   so he did not open his mouth.By a perversion of justice he was taken away.   Who could have imagined his future?For he was cut off from the land of the living\,   stricken for the transgression of my people.They made his grave with the wicked   and his tomb with the rich\,although he had done no violence\,   and there was no deceit in his mouth.Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain.When you make his life an offering for sin\,   he shall see his offspring\, and shall prolong his days;through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.   Out of his anguish he shall see light;he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge.   The righteous one\, my servant\, shall make many righteous\,   and he shall bear their iniquities.Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great\,   and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;because he poured out himself to death\,   and was numbered with the transgressors;yet he bore the sin of many\,   and made intercession for the transgressors. \n\n\n\nPsalm 22 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, Deus meus \n\n\n\nMy God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me? *   and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?O my God\, I cry in the daytime\, but you do not answer; *   by night as well\, but I find no rest.Yet you are the Holy One\, *   enthroned upon the praises of Israel.Our forefathers put their trust in you; *   they trusted\, and you delivered them.They cried out to you and were delivered; *   they trusted in you and were not put to shame.But as for me\, I am a worm and no man\, *   scorned by all and despised by the people.All who see me laugh me to scorn; *   they curl their lips and wag their heads\, saying\,“He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; *   let him rescue him\, if he delights in him.”Yet you are he who took me out of the womb\, *   and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast.I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; *   you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb.Be not far from me\, for trouble is near\, *   and there is none to help.Many young bulls encircle me; *   strong bulls of Bashan surround me.They open wide their jaws at me\, *   like a ravening and a roaring lion.I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; *   my heart within my breast is melting wax.My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; *   and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.Packs of dogs close me in\, and gangs of evildoers circle around me; *   they pierce my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.They stare and gloat over me; *   they divide my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing.Be not far away\, O Lord; *   you are my strength; hasten to help me.Save me from the sword\, *   my life from the power of the dog.Save me from the lion’s mouth\, *   my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls.I will declare your Name to my brethren; *   in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.Praise the Lord\, you that fear him; *   stand in awe of him\, O offspring of Israel; all you of Jacob’s line\, give glory.For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; *   but when they cry to him he hears them.My praise is of him in the great assembly; *   I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.The poor shall eat and be satisfied\, and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *   “May your heart live for ever!”All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord\, *   and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.For kingship belongs to the Lord; *   he rules over the nations.To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; *   all who go down to the dust fall before him.My soul shall live for him; my descendants shall serve him; *they shall be known as the Lord’s for ever.They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *   the saving deeds that he has done. \n\n\n\nHebrews 10:16-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\n‘This is the covenant that I will make with them   after those days\, says the Lord:I will put my laws in their hearts\,   and I will write them on their minds’\,he also adds\,‘I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.’Where there is forgiveness of these\, there is no longer any offering for sin.Therefore\, my friends\, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus\, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is\, through his flesh)\, and since we have a great priest over the house of God\, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith\, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering\, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds\, not neglecting to meet together\, as is the habit of some\, but encouraging one another\, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. \n\n\n\nJohn 18:1-19:42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter Jesus had spoken these words\, he went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden\, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas\, who betrayed him\, also knew the place\, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees\, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus\, knowing all that was to happen to him\, came forward and asked them\, ‘For whom are you looking?’ They answered\, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus replied\, ‘I am he.’ Judas\, who betrayed him\, was standing with them. When Jesus said to them\, ‘I am he’\, they stepped back and fell to the ground. Again he asked them\, ‘For whom are you looking?’ And they said\, ‘Jesus of Nazareth.’ Jesus answered\, ‘I told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me\, let these men go.’ This was to fulfil the word that he had spoken\, ‘I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.’ Then Simon Peter\, who had a sword\, drew it\, struck the high priest’s slave\, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter\, ‘Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?’So the soldiers\, their officer\, and the Jewish police arrested Jesus and bound him. First they took him to Annas\, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas\, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one person die for the people.Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest\, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest\, but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple\, who was known to the high priest\, went out\, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate\, and brought Peter in. The woman said to Peter\, ‘You are not also one of this man’s disciples\, are you?’ He said\, ‘I am not.’ Now the slaves and the police had made a charcoal fire because it was cold\, and they were standing round it and warming themselves. Peter also was standing with them and warming himself.Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. Jesus answered\, ‘I have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple\, where all the Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.’ When he had said this\, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face\, saying\, ‘Is that how you answer the high priest?’ Jesus answered\, ‘If I have spoken wrongly\, testify to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly\, why do you strike me?’ Then Annas sent him bound to Caiaphas the high priest.Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They asked him\, ‘You are not also one of his disciples\, are you?’ He denied it and said\, ‘I am not.’ One of the slaves of the high priest\, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off\, asked\, ‘Did I not see you in the garden with him?’ Again Peter denied it\, and at that moment the cock crowed.Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate’s headquarters. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters\, so as to avoid ritual defilement and to be able to eat the Passover. So Pilate went out to them and said\, ‘What accusation do you bring against this man?’ They answered\, ‘If this man were not a criminal\, we would not have handed him over to you.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Take him yourselves and judge him according to your law.’ The Jews replied\, ‘We are not permitted to put anyone to death.’ (This was to fulfil what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)Then Pilate entered the headquarters again\, summoned Jesus\, and asked him\, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered\, ‘Do you ask this on your own\, or did others tell you about me?’ Pilate replied\, ‘I am not a Jew\, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?’ Jesus answered\, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world\, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is\, my kingdom is not from here.’ Pilate asked him\, ‘So you are a king?’ Jesus answered\, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born\, and for this I came into the world\, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.’ Pilate asked him\, ‘What is truth?’After he had said this\, he went out to the Jews again and told them\, ‘I find no case against him. But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?’ They shouted in reply\, ‘Not this man\, but Barabbas!’ Now Barabbas was a bandit.Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head\, and they dressed him in a purple robe. They kept coming up to him\, saying\, ‘Hail\, King of the Jews!’ and striking him on the face. Pilate went out again and said to them\, ‘Look\, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.’ So Jesus came out\, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them\, ‘Here is the man!’ When the chief priests and the police saw him\, they shouted\, ‘Crucify him! Crucify him!’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Take him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.’ The Jews answered him\, ‘We have a law\, and according to that law he ought to die because he has claimed to be the Son of God.’Now when Pilate heard this\, he was more afraid than ever. He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus\, ‘Where are you from?’ But Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore said to him\, ‘Do you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you\, and power to crucify you?’ Jesus answered him\, ‘You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.’ From then on Pilate tried to release him\, but the Jews cried out\, ‘If you release this man\, you are no friend of the emperor. Everyone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor.’When Pilate heard these words\, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called The Stone Pavement\, or in Hebrew Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews\, ‘Here is your King!’ They cried out\, ‘Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!’ Pilate asked them\, ‘Shall I crucify your King?’ The chief priests answered\, ‘We have no king but the emperor.’ Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself\, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull\, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him\, and with him two others\, one on either side\, with Jesus between them. Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read\, ‘Jesus of Nazareth\, the King of the Jews.’ Many of the Jews read this inscription\, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew\, in Latin\, and in Greek. Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate\, ‘Do not write\, “The King of the Jews”\, but\, “This man said\, I am King of the Jews.” ’ Pilate answered\, ‘What I have written I have written.’ When the soldiers had crucified Jesus\, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts\, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless\, woven in one piece from the top. So they said to one another\, ‘Let us not tear it\, but cast lots for it to see who will get it.’ This was to fulfil what the scripture says\,‘They divided my clothes among themselves\,   and for my clothing they cast lots.’And that is what the soldiers did.Meanwhile\, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother\, and his mother’s sister\, Mary the wife of Clopas\, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her\, he said to his mother\, ‘Woman\, here is your son.’ Then he said to the disciple\, ‘Here is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.After this\, when Jesus knew that all was now finished\, he said (in order to fulfil the scripture)\, ‘I am thirsty.’ A jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine\, he said\, ‘It is finished.’ Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.Since it was the day of Preparation\, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath\, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead\, they did not break his legs. Instead\, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear\, and at once blood and water came out. (He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true\, and he knows that he tells the truth.) These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled\, ‘None of his bones shall be broken.’ And again another passage of scripture says\, ‘They will look on the one whom they have pierced.’After these things\, Joseph of Arimathea\, who was a disciple of Jesus\, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews\, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus\, who had at first come to Jesus by night\, also came\, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes\, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths\, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified\, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so\, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation\, and the tomb was nearby\, they laid Jesus there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty Father\, whose dear Son\, on the night before he suffered\, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord\, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nExodus 12:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family\, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb\, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it. Your lamb shall be without blemish\, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water\, but roasted over the fire\, with its head\, legs\, and inner organs. You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded\, your sandals on your feet\, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night\, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt\, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgements: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood\, I will pass over you\, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. \n\n\n\nPsalm 116 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDilexi\, quoniam \n\n\n\nI love the Lord\, because he has heard the voice of my supplication\, *   because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.How shall I repay the Lord *   for all the good things he has done for me?I will lift up the cup of salvation *   and call upon the Name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *   in the presence of all his people.Precious in the sight of the Lord *   is the death of his servants.O Lord\, I am your servant; *   I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *   and call upon the Name of the Lord.I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *   in the presence of all his people\,In the courts of the Lord ‘s house\, *   in the midst of you\, O Jerusalem. \n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-32 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nFor I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you\, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread\, and when he had given thanks\, he broke it and said\, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way he took the cup also\, after supper\, saying\, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this\, as often as you drink it\, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup\, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.Whoever\, therefore\, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be answerable for the body and blood of the Lord. Examine yourselves\, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For all who eat and drink without discerning the body\, eat and drink judgement against themselves. For this reason many of you are weak and ill\, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves\, we would not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord\, we are disciplined so that we may not be condemned along with the world. \n\n\n\nJohn 13:1-17\,31-35 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow before the festival of the Passover\, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world\, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus\, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands\, and that he had come from God and was going to God\, got up from the table\, took off his outer robe\, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter\, who said to him\, ‘Lord\, are you going to wash my feet?’ Jesus answered\, ‘You do not know now what I am doing\, but later you will understand.’ Peter said to him\, ‘You will never wash my feet.’ Jesus answered\, ‘Unless I wash you\, you have no share with me.’ Simon Peter said to him\, ‘Lord\, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!’ Jesus said to him\, ‘One who has bathed does not need to wash\, except for the feet\, but is entirely clean. And you are clean\, though not all of you.’ For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said\, ‘Not all of you are clean.’After he had washed their feet\, had put on his robe\, and had returned to the table\, he said to them\, ‘Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right\, for that is what I am. So if I\, your Lord and Teacher\, have washed your feet\, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example\, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly\, I tell you\, servants are not greater than their master\, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things\, you are blessed if you do them.When he had gone out\, Jesus said\, ‘Now the Son of Man has been glorified\, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him\, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children\, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you\, “Where I am going\, you cannot come.” I give you a new commandment\, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you\, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples\, if you have love for one another.’ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Wednesday in Holy Week (Year A) [Spy Wednesday]
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nLord God\, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time\, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nIsaiah 50:4-9a (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord God has given me   the tongue of a teacher\,that I may know how to sustain   the weary with a word.Morning by morning he wakens—   wakens my ear   to listen as those who are taught.The Lord God has opened my ear\,   and I was not rebellious\,   I did not turn backwards.I gave my back to those who struck me\,   and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;I did not hide my face   from insult and spitting. \n\n\n\nThe Lord God helps me;   therefore I have not been disgraced;therefore I have set my face like flint\,   and I know that I shall not be put to shame;   he who vindicates me is near.Who will contend with me?   Let us stand up together.Who are my adversaries?   Let them confront me.It is the Lord God who helps me;   who will declare me guilty?All of them will wear out like a garment;   the moth will eat them up. \n\n\n\nPsalm 70 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, in adjutorium1 Be pleased\, O God\, to deliver me; *     O Lord\, make haste to help me.2 Let those who seek my life be ashamedand altogether dismayed; *     let those who take pleasure in my misfortune     draw back and be disgraced.3 Let those who say to me “Aha!” and gloat over me turn back\, *     because they are ashamed.4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; *     let those who love your salvation say for ever\,     “Great is the Lord!”5 But as for me\, I am poor and needy; *     come to me speedily\, O God.6 You are my helper and my deliverer; *     O Lord\, do not tarry. \n\n\n\nHebrews 12:1-3 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nTherefore\, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses\, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely\, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us\, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith\, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross\, disregarding its shame\, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. \n\n\n\nConsider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners\, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. \n\n\n\n John 13:21-32 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit\, and declared\, ‘Very truly\, I tell you\, one of you will betray me.’ The disciples looked at one another\, uncertain of whom he was speaking. One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining next to him; Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So while reclining next to Jesus\, he asked him\, ‘Lord\, who is it?’ Jesus answered\, ‘It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.’ So when he had dipped the piece of bread\, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. After he received the piece of bread\, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him\, ‘Do quickly what you are going to do.’ Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that\, because Judas had the common purse\, Jesus was telling him\, ‘Buy what we need for the festival’; or\, that he should give something to the poor. So\, after receiving the piece of bread\, he immediately went out. And it was night. \n\n\n\nWhen he had gone out\, Jesus said\, ‘Now the Son of Man has been glorified\, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him\, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

If anyone says anything to you\, just say this\, “The Lord needs them.” And he will send them immediately.*’ This took place to fulfil what had been spoken through the prophet\, saying\, \n\n\n\n‘Tell the daughter of Zion\,Look\, your king is coming to you\,   humble\, and mounted on a donkey\,   and on a colt\, the foal of a donkey.’ \n\n\n\nThe disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; they brought the donkey and the colt\, and put their cloaks on them\, and he sat on them. A very large crowd* spread their cloaks on the road\, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. The crowds that went ahead of him and that followed were shouting\, \n\n\n\n‘Hosanna to the Son of David!   Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!Hosanna in the highest heaven!’ \n\n\n\nWhen he entered Jerusalem\, the whole city was in turmoil\, asking\, ‘Who is this?’ The crowds were saying\, ‘This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.’ \n\n\n\nLiturgy of the Word\n\n\n\nIsaiah 50:4-9 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord God has given me   the tongue of a teacher\,that I may know how to sustain   the weary with a word.Morning by morning he wakens—   wakens my ear   to listen as those who are taught.The Lord God has opened my ear\,   and I was not rebellious\,   I did not turn backwards.I gave my back to those who struck me\,   and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard;I did not hide my face   from insult and spitting.The Lord God helps me;   therefore I have not been disgraced;therefore I have set my face like flint\,   and I know that I shall not be put to shame;   he who vindicates me is near.Who will contend with me?   Let us stand up together.Who are my adversaries?   Let them confront me.It is the Lord God who helps me;   who will declare me guilty?All of them will wear out like a garment;   the moth will eat them up. \n\n\n\nPsalm 31:9-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\nMiserere mei Domine quoniam \n\n\n\nHave mercy on me\, O Lord\, for I am in trouble; *   my eye is consumed with sorrow\, and also my throat and my belly.For my life is wasted with grief\, and my years with sighing; *   my strength fails me because of affliction\, and my bones are consumed.I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my neighbors\, a dismay to those of my acquaintance; *   when they see me in the street they avoid me.I am forgotten like a dead man\, out of mind; *   I am as useless as a broken pot.For I have heard the whispering of the crowd; fear is all around; *   they put their heads together against me; they plot to take my life.But as for me\, I have trusted in you\, O Lord. *   I have said\, “You are my God.My times are in your hand; *   rescue me from the hand of my enemies\, and from those who persecute me.Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *   and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\nPhilippians 2:5-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nLet the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus\,who\, though he was in the form of God\,   did not regard equality with God   as something to be exploited\,but emptied himself\,   taking the form of a slave\,   being born in human likeness.And being found in human form\,   he humbled himself   and became obedient to the point of death—   even death on a cross.Therefore God also highly exalted him   and gave him the name   that is above every name\,so that at the name of Jesus   every knee should bend\,   in heaven and on earth and under the earth\,and every tongue should confess   that Jesus Christ is Lord\,   to the glory of God the Father. \n\n\n\nMatthew [26:36-27:10] 27:11-54[55-66] (NRSV)\n\n\n\n[Then one of the twelve\, who was called Judas Iscariot\, went to the chief priests and said\, ‘What will you give me if I betray him to you?’ They paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. \n\n\n\nOn the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus\, saying\, ‘Where do you want us to make the preparations for you to eat the Passover?’ He said\, ‘Go into the city to a certain man\, and say to him\, “The Teacher says\, My time is near; I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.” ’ So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them\, and they prepared the Passover meal. \n\n\n\n[When it was evening\, he took his place with the twelve; and while they were eating\, he said\, ‘Truly I tell you\, one of you will betray me.’ And they became greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another\, ‘Surely not I\, Lord?’ He answered\, ‘The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him\, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.’ Judas\, who betrayed him\, said\, ‘Surely not I\, Rabbi?’ He replied\, ‘You have said so.’ \n\n\n\n[While they were eating\, Jesus took a loaf of bread\, and after blessing it he broke it\, gave it to the disciples\, and said\, ‘Take\, eat; this is my body.’ Then he took a cup\, and after giving thanks he gave it to them\, saying\, ‘Drink from it\, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant\, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you\, I will never again drink of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.’ \n\n\n\n[When they had sung the hymn\, they went out to the Mount of Olives. \n\n\n\n[Then Jesus said to them\, ‘You will all become deserters because of me this night; for it is written\,“I will strike the shepherd\,   and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.”But after I am raised up\, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.’ Peter said to him\, ‘Though all become deserters because of you\, I will never desert you.’ Jesus said to him\, ‘Truly I tell you\, this very night\, before the cock crows\, you will deny me three times.’ Peter said to him\, ‘Even though I must die with you\, I will not deny you.’ And so said all the disciples. \n\n\n\n[Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples\, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray.’ He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee\, and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them\, ‘I am deeply grieved\, even to death; remain here\, and stay awake with me.’ And going a little farther\, he threw himself on the ground and prayed\, ‘My Father\, if it is possible\, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want.’ Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter\, ‘So\, could you not stay awake with me one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing\, but the flesh is weak.’ Again he went away for the second time and prayed\, ‘My Father\, if this cannot pass unless I drink it\, your will be done.’ Again he came and found them sleeping\, for their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again\, he went away and prayed for the third time\, saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and said to them\, ‘Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See\, the hour is at hand\, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up\, let us be going. See\, my betrayer is at hand.’ \n\n\n\n[While he was still speaking\, Judas\, one of the twelve\, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs\, from the chief priests and the elders of the people. Now the betrayer had given them a sign\, saying\, ‘The one I will kiss is the man; arrest him.’ At once he came up to Jesus and said\, ‘Greetings\, Rabbi!’ and kissed him. Jesus said to him\, ‘Friend\, do what you are here to do.’ Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him. Suddenly\, one of those with Jesus put his hand on his sword\, drew it\, and struck the slave of the high priest\, cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him\, ‘Put your sword back into its place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father\, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled\, which say it must happen in this way?’ At that hour Jesus said to the crowds\, ‘Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I sat in the temple teaching\, and you did not arrest me. But all this has taken place\, so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.’ Then all the disciples deserted him and fled. \n\n\n\n[Those who had arrested Jesus took him to Caiaphas the high priest\, in whose house the scribes and the elders had gathered. But Peter was following him at a distance\, as far as the courtyard of the high priest; and going inside\, he sat with the guards in order to see how this would end. Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for false testimony against Jesus so that they might put him to death\, but they found none\, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward and said\, ‘This fellow said\, “I am able to destroy the temple of God and to build it in three days.” ’ The high priest stood up and said\, ‘Have you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?’ But Jesus was silent. Then the high priest said to him\, ‘I put you under oath before the living God\, tell us if you are the Messiah\, the Son of God.’ Jesus said to him\, ‘You have said so. But I tell you\,From now on you will see the Son of Man   seated at the right hand of Power   and coming on the clouds of heaven.’Then the high priest tore his clothes and said\, ‘He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your verdict?’ They answered\, ‘He deserves death.’ Then they spat in his face and struck him; and some slapped him\, saying\, ‘Prophesy to us\, you Messiah! Who is it that struck you?’ \n\n\n\n[Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. A servant-girl came to him and said\, ‘You also were with Jesus the Galilean.’ But he denied it before all of them\, saying\, ‘I do not know what you are talking about.’ When he went out to the porch\, another servant-girl saw him\, and she said to the bystanders\, ‘This man was with Jesus of Nazareth.’ Again he denied it with an oath\, ‘I do not know the man.’ After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter\, ‘Certainly you are also one of them\, for your accent betrays you.’ Then he began to curse\, and he swore an oath\, ‘I do not know the man!’ At that moment the cock crowed. Then Peter remembered what Jesus had said: ‘Before the cock crows\, you will deny me three times.’ And he went out and wept bitterly. \n\n\n\n[When morning came\, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus in order to bring about his death. They bound him\, led him away\, and handed him over to Pilate the governor. \n\n\n\n[When Judas\, his betrayer\, saw that Jesus was condemned\, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders. He said\, ‘I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.’ But they said\, ‘What is that to us? See to it yourself.’ Throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple\, he departed; and he went and hanged himself. But the chief priests\, taking the pieces of silver\, said\, ‘It is not lawful to put them into the treasury\, since they are blood money.’ After conferring together\, they used them to buy the potter’s field as a place to bury foreigners. For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. Then was fulfilled what had been spoken through the prophet Jeremiah\, ‘And they took the thirty pieces of silver\, the price of the one on whom a price had been set\, on whom some of the people of Israel had set a price\, and they gave them for the potter’s field\, as the Lord commanded me.’] \n\n\n\nNow Jesus stood before the governor; and the governor asked him\, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus said\, ‘You say so.’ But when he was accused by the chief priests and elders\, he did not answer. Then Pilate said to him\, ‘Do you not hear how many accusations they make against you?’ But he gave him no answer\, not even to a single charge\, so that the governor was greatly amazed. \n\n\n\nNow at the festival the governor was accustomed to release a prisoner for the crowd\, anyone whom they wanted. At that time they had a notorious prisoner\, called Jesus Barabbas. So after they had gathered\, Pilate said to them\, ‘Whom do you want me to release for you\, Jesus Barabbas or Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ For he realized that it was out of jealousy that they had handed him over. While he was sitting on the judgement seat\, his wife sent word to him\, ‘Have nothing to do with that innocent man\, for today I have suffered a great deal because of a dream about him.’ Now the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus killed. The governor again said to them\, ‘Which of the two do you want me to release for you?’ And they said\, ‘Barabbas.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘Then what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?’ All of them said\, ‘Let him be crucified!’ Then he asked\, ‘Why\, what evil has he done?’ But they shouted all the more\, ‘Let him be crucified!’ \n\n\n\nSo when Pilate saw that he could do nothing\, but rather that a riot was beginning\, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd\, saying\, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.’ Then the people as a whole answered\, ‘His blood be on us and on our children!’ So he released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus\, he handed him over to be crucified. \n\n\n\nThen the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the governor’s headquarters\, and they gathered the whole cohort around him. They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him\, and after twisting some thorns into a crown\, they put it on his head. They put a reed in his right hand and knelt before him and mocked him\, saying\, ‘Hail\, King of the Jews!’ They spat on him\, and took the reed and struck him on the head. After mocking him\, they stripped him of the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. \n\n\n\nAs they went out\, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross. And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull)\, they offered him wine to drink\, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it\, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him\, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots; then they sat down there and kept watch over him. Over his head they put the charge against him\, which read\, ‘This is Jesus\, the King of the Jews.’ \n\n\n\nThen two bandits were crucified with him\, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by derided him\, shaking their heads and saying\, ‘You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days\, save yourself! If you are the Son of God\, come down from the cross.’ In the same way the chief priests also\, along with the scribes and elders\, were mocking him\, saying\, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now\, and we will believe in him. He trusts in God; let God deliver him now\, if he wants to; for he said\, “I am God’s Son.” ’ The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way. \n\n\n\nFrom noon on\, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice\, ‘Eli\, Eli\, lema sabachthani?’ that is\, ‘My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of the bystanders heard it\, they said\, ‘This man is calling for Elijah.’ At once one of them ran and got a sponge\, filled it with sour wine\, put it on a stick\, and gave it to him to drink. But the others said\, ‘Wait\, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him.’ Then Jesus cried again with a loud voice and breathed his last. At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two\, from top to bottom. The earth shook\, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened\, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After his resurrection they came out of the tombs and entered the holy city and appeared to many. Now when the centurion and those with him\, who were keeping watch over Jesus\, saw the earthquake and what took place\, they were terrified and said\, ‘Truly this man was God’s Son!’ \n\n\n\n[Many women were also there\, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Among them were Mary Magdalene\, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph\, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee. \n\n\n\n[When it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb. \n\n\n\n[The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, ‘Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, “After three days I will rise again.” Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, “He has been raised from the dead”\, and the last deception would be worse than the first.’ Pilate said to them\, ‘You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.’ So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone.] \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley\, and they were very dry. He said to me\, “Mortal\, can these bones live?” I answered\, “O Lord God\, you know.” Then he said to me\, “Prophesy to these bones\, and say to them: O dry bones\, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you\, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you\, and will cause flesh to come upon you\, and cover you with skin\, and put breath in you\, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the Lord.” So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied\, suddenly there was a noise\, a rattling\, and the bones came together\, bone to its bone. I looked\, and there were sinews on them\, and flesh had come upon them\, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me\, “Prophesy to the breath\, prophesy\, mortal\, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds\, O breath\, and breathe upon these slain\, that they may live.” I prophesied as he commanded me\, and the breath came into them\, and they lived\, and stood on their feet\, a vast multitude. Then he said to me\, “Mortal\, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say\, ‘Our bones are dried up\, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.’ Therefore prophesy\, and say to them\, Thus says the Lord God: I am going to open your graves\, and bring you up from your graves\, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord\, when I open your graves\, and bring you up from your graves\, O my people. I will put my spirit within you\, and you shall live\, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I\, the Lord\, have spoken and will act\,” says the Lord. \n\n\n\nPsalm 130 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDe profundis \n\n\n\nOut of the depths have I called to you\, O Lord;Lord\, hear my voice; *   let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.If you\, Lord\, were to note what is done amiss\, *   O Lord\, who could stand?For there is forgiveness with you; *   therefore you shall be feared.I wait for the Lord; my soul waits for him; *   in his word is my hope.My soul waits for the Lord\,more than watchmen for the morning\, *   more than watchmen for the morning.O Israel\, wait for the Lord\, *   for with the Lord there is mercy;With him there is plenteous redemption\, *   and he shall redeem Israel from all their sins. \n\n\n\nRomans 8:6-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nTo set the mind on the flesh is death\, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law—indeed it cannot\, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit\, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you\, though the body is dead because of sin\, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you\, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you. \n\n\n\nJohn 11:1-45 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow a certain man was ill\, Lazarus of Bethany\, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent a message to Jesus\, “Lord\, he whom you love is ill.” But when Jesus heard it\, he said\, “This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God’s glory\, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.” Accordingly\, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus\, after having heard that Lazarus was ill\, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Then after this he said to the disciples\, “Let us go to Judea again.” The disciples said to him\, “Rabbi\, the Jews were just now trying to stone you\, and are you going there again?” Jesus answered\, “Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble\, because they see the light of this world. But those who walk at night stumble\, because the light is not in them.” After saying this\, he told them\, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep\, but I am going there to awaken him.” The disciples said to him\, “Lord\, if he has fallen asleep\, he will be all right.” Jesus\, however\, had been speaking about his death\, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep. Then Jesus told them plainly\, “Lazarus is dead. For your sake I am glad I was not there\, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.” Thomas\, who was called the Twin\, said to his fellow disciples\, “Let us also go\, that we may die with him.” When Jesus arrived\, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem\, some two miles away\, and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming\, she went and met him\, while Mary stayed at home. Martha said to Jesus\, “Lord\, if you had been here\, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.” Jesus said to her\, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him\, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her\, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me\, even though they die\, will live\, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?” She said to him\, “Yes\, Lord\, I believe that you are the Messiah\, the Son of God\, the one coming into the world.” When she had said this\, she went back and called her sister Mary\, and told her privately\, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.” And when she heard it\, she got up quickly and went to him. Now Jesus had not yet come to the village\, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. The Jews who were with her in the house\, consoling her\, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him\, she knelt at his feet and said to him\, “Lord\, if you had been here\, my brother would not have died.” When Jesus saw her weeping\, and the Jews who came with her also weeping\, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said\, “Where have you laid him?” They said to him\, “Lord\, come and see.” Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said\, “See how he loved him!” But some of them said\, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?” Then Jesus\, again greatly disturbed\, came to the tomb. It was a cave\, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said\, “Take away the stone.” Martha\, the sister of the dead man\, said to him\, “Lord\, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her\, “Did I not tell you that if you believed\, you would see the glory of God?” So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upward and said\, “Father\, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me\, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here\, so that they may believe that you sent me.” When he had said this\, he cried with a loud voice\, “Lazarus\, come out!” The dead man came out\, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth\, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them\, “Unbind him\, and let him go.” Many of the Jews therefore\, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did\, believed in him. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

I have rejected him from being king over Israel. Fill your horn with oil and set out; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite\, for I have provided for myself a king among his sons.” Samuel said\, “How can I go? If Saul hears of it\, he will kill me.” And the Lord said\, “Take a heifer with you\, and say\, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ Invite Jesse to the sacrifice\, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you.” Samuel did what the Lord commanded\, and came to Bethlehem. The elders of the city came to meet him trembling\, and said\, “Do you come peaceably?” He said\, “Peaceably; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord; sanctify yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” And he sanctified Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice. When they came\, he looked on Eliab and thought\, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is now before the Lord.” But the Lord said to Samuel\, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature\, because I have rejected him; for the Lord does not see as mortals see; they look on the outward appearance\, but the Lord looks on the heart.” Then Jesse called Abinadab\, and made him pass before Samuel. He said\, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said\, “Neither has the Lord chosen this one.” Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel\, and Samuel said to Jesse\, “The Lord has not chosen any of these.” Samuel said to Jesse\, “Are all your sons here?” And he said\, “There remains yet the youngest\, but he is keeping the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse\, “Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” He sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy\, and had beautiful eyes\, and was handsome. The Lord said\, “Rise and anoint him; for this is the one.” Then Samuel took the horn of oil\, and anointed him in the presence of his brothers; and the spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. Samuel then set out and went to Ramah. \n\n\n\nPsalm 23 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDominus regit me \n\n\n\nThe Lord is my shepherd; *   I shall not be in want.He makes me lie down in green pastures *   and leads me beside still waters.He revives my soul *   and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake.Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death\,I shall fear no evil; *   for you are with me;   your rod and your staff\, they comfort me.You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; *   you have anointed my head with oil\,   and my cup is running over.Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life\, *   and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. \n\n\n\nEphesians 5:8-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nOnce you were darkness\, but now in the Lord you are light. Live as children of light—for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness\, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly; but everything exposed by the light becomes visible\, for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says\, “Sleeper\, awake! Rise from the dead\, and Christ will shine on you.” \n\n\n\nJohn 9:1-41 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAs Jesus walked along\, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him\, “Rabbi\, who sinned\, this man or his parents\, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered\, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. As long as I am in the world\, I am the light of the world.” When he had said this\, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva and spread the mud on the man’s eyes\, saying to him\, “Go\, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). Then he went and washed and came back able to see. The neighbors and those who had seen him before as a beggar began to ask\, “Is this not the man who used to sit and beg?” Some were saying\, “It is he.” Others were saying\, “No\, but it is someone like him.” He kept saying\, “I am the man.” But they kept asking him\, “Then how were your eyes opened?” He answered\, “The man called Jesus made mud\, spread it on my eyes\, and said to me\, ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ Then I went and washed and received my sight.” They said to him\, “Where is he?” He said\, “I do not know.” They brought to the Pharisees the man who had formerly been blind. Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Then the Pharisees also began to ask him how he had received his sight. He said to them\, “He put mud on my eyes. Then I washed\, and now I see.” Some of the Pharisees said\, “This man is not from God\, for he does not observe the sabbath.” But others said\, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?” And they were divided. So they said again to the blind man\, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said\, “He is a prophet.” The Jews did not believe that he had been blind and had received his sight until they called the parents of the man who had received his sight and asked them\, “Is this your son\, who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?” His parents answered\, “We know that this is our son\, and that he was born blind; but we do not know how it is that now he sees\, nor do we know who opened his eyes. Ask him; he is of age. He will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus to be the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue. Therefore his parents said\, “He is of age; ask him.” So for the second time they called the man who had been blind\, and they said to him\, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.” He answered\, “I do not know whether he is a sinner. One thing I do know\, that though I was blind\, now I see.” They said to him\, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?” He answered them\, “I have told you already\, and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become his disciples?” Then they reviled him\, saying\, “You are his disciple\, but we are disciples of Moses. We know that God has spoken to Moses\, but as for this man\, we do not know where he comes from.” The man answered\, “Here is an astonishing thing! You do not know where he comes from\, and yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does not listen to sinners\, but he does listen to one who worships him and obeys his will. Never since the world began has it been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God\, he could do nothing.” They answered him\, “You were born entirely in sins\, and are you trying to teach us?” And they drove him out. Jesus heard that they had driven him out\, and when he found him\, he said\, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered\, “And who is he\, sir? Tell me\, so that I may believe in him.” Jesus said to him\, “You have seen him\, and the one speaking with you is he.” He said\, “Lord\, I believe.” And he worshiped him. Jesus said\, “I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see\, and those who do see may become blind.” Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him\, “Surely we are not blind\, are we?” Jesus said to them\, “If you were blind\, you would not have sin. But now that you say\, ‘We see\,’ your sin remains.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

They camped at Rephidim\, but there was no water for the people to drink. The people quarreled with Moses\, and said\, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them\, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?” But the people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said\, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt\, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?” So Moses cried out to the Lord\, “What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.” The Lord said to Moses\, “Go on ahead of the people\, and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile\, and go. I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock\, and water will come out of it\, so that the people may drink.” Moses did so\, in the sight of the elders of Israel. He called the place Massah and Meribah\, because the Israelites quarreled and tested the Lord\, saying\, “Is the Lord among us or not?” \n\n\n\nPsalm 95 (BCP)\n\n\n\nVenite\, exultemus \n\n\n\nCome\, let us sing to the Lord; *   let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *   and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.For the Lord is a great God\, *   and a great King above all gods.In his hand are the caverns of the earth\, *   and the heights of the hills are his also.The sea is his\, for he made it\, *   and his hands have molded the dry land.Come\, let us bow down\, and bend the knee\, *   and kneel before the Lord our Maker.For he is our God\,and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *   Oh\, that today you would hearken to his voice!Harden not your hearts\,as your forebears did in the wilderness\, *   at Meribah\, and on that day at Massah\,   when they tempted me.They put me to the test\, *   though they had seen my works.Forty years long I detested that generation and said\, *    “This people are wayward in their hearts;   they do not know my ways.”So I swore in my wrath\, *    “They shall not enter into my rest.” \n\n\n\nRomans 5:1-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSince we are justified by faith\, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ\, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that\, but we also boast in our sufferings\, knowing that suffering produces endurance\, and endurance produces character\, and character produces hope\, and hope does not disappoint us\, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were still weak\, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed\, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die. But God proves his love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. Much more surely then\, now that we have been justified by his blood\, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies\, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son\, much more surely\, having been reconciled\, will we be saved by his life. But more than that\, we even boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ\, through whom we have now received reconciliation. \n\n\n\nJohn 4:5-42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJesus came to a Samaritan city called Sychar\, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there\, and Jesus\, tired out by his journey\, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water\, and Jesus said to her\, “Give me a drink.” (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him\, “How is it that you\, a Jew\, ask a drink of me\, a woman of Samaria?” (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her\, “If you knew the gift of God\, and who it is that is saying to you\, ‘Give me a drink\,’ you would have asked him\, and he would have given you living water.” The woman said to him\, “Sir\, you have no bucket\, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob\, who gave us the well\, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?” Jesus said to her\, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again\, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.” The woman said to him\, “Sir\, give me this water\, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.” Jesus said to her\, “Go\, call your husband\, and come back.” The woman answered him\, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her\, “You are right in saying\, ‘I have no husband’; for you have had five husbands\, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!” The woman said to him\, “Sir\, I see that you are a prophet. Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain\, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.” Jesus said to her\, “Woman\, believe me\, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know\, for salvation is from the Jews. But the hour is coming\, and is now here\, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth\, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit\, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” The woman said to him\, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes\, he will proclaim all things to us.” Jesus said to her\, “I am he\, the one who is speaking to you.” Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman\, but no one said\, “What do you want?” or\, “Why are you speaking with her?” Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people\, “Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah\, can he?” They left the city and were on their way to him. Meanwhile the disciples were urging him\, “Rabbi\, eat something.” But he said to them\, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.” So the disciples said to one another\, “Surely no one has brought him something to eat?” Jesus said to them\, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. Do you not say\, ‘Four months more\, then comes the harvest’? But I tell you\, look around you\, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life\, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. For here the saying holds true\, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored\, and you have entered into their labor.” Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman’s testimony\, “He told me everything I have ever done.” So when the Samaritans came to him\, they asked him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days. And many more believed because of his word. They said to the woman\, “It is no longer because of what you said that we believe\, for we have heard for ourselves\, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:2nd Sunday in Lent (Year A)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nO God\, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways\, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word\, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns\, one God\, for ever and ever.

I will make of you a great nation\, and I will bless you\, and make your name great\, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you\, and the one who curses you I will curse; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram went\, as the Lord had told him. \n\n\n\nPsalm 121 (BCP)\n\n\n\nLevavi oculos \n\n\n\nI lift up my eyes to the hills; *   from where is my help to come?My help comes from the Lord\, *   the maker of heaven and earth.He will not let your foot be moved *   and he who watches over you will not fall asleep.Behold\, he who keeps watch over Israel *   shall neither slumber nor sleep;The Lord himself watches over you; *   the Lord is your shade at your right hand\,So that the sun shall not strike you by day\, *   nor the moon by night.The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; *   it is he who shall keep you safe.The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in\, *   from this time forth for evermore. \n\n\n\nRomans 4:1-5\, 13-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhat then are we to say was gained by Abraham\, our ancestor according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works\, he has something to boast about\, but not before God. For what does the scripture say? “Abraham believed God\, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” Now to one who works\, wages are not reckoned as a gift but as something due. But to one who without works trusts him who justifies the ungodly\, such faith is reckoned as righteousness. For the promise that he would inherit the world did not come to Abraham or to his descendants through the law but through the righteousness of faith. If it is the adherents of the law who are to be the heirs\, faith is null and the promise is void. For the law brings wrath; but where there is no law\, neither is there violation. For this reason it depends on faith\, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his descendants\, not only to the adherents of the law but also to those who share the faith of Abraham (for he is the father of all of us\, as it is written\, “I have made you the father of many nations”)—in the presence of the God in whom he believed\, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. \n\n\n\nJohn 3:1-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow there was a Pharisee named Nicodemus\, a leader of the Jews. He came to Jesus by night and said to him\, “Rabbi\, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God; for no one can do these signs that you do apart from the presence of God.” Jesus answered him\, “Very truly\, I tell you\, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus said to him\, “How can anyone be born after having grown old? Can one enter a second time into the mother’s womb and be born?” Jesus answered\, “Very truly\, I tell you\, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit. What is born of the flesh is flesh\, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be astonished that I said to you\, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it chooses\, and you hear the sound of it\, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus said to him\, “How can these things be?” Jesus answered him\, “Are you a teacher of Israel\, and yet you do not understand these things? Very truly\, I tell you\, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe\, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven\, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness\, so must the Son of Man be lifted up\, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son\, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed\, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world\, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

And the Lord God commanded the man\, “You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat\, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die.” Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman\, “Did God say\, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden’?” The woman said to the serpent\, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden; but God said\, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden\, nor shall you touch it\, or you shall die.’” But the serpent said to the woman\, “You will not die; for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened\, and you will be like God\, knowing good and evil.” So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food\, and that it was a delight to the eyes\, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise\, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband\, who was with her\, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened\, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made loincloths for themselves. \n\n\n\nPsalm 32 (BCP)\n\n\n\nBeati quorum \n\n\n\nHappy are they whose transgressions are forgiven\, *   and whose sin is put away!Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt\, *   and in whose spirit there is no guile!While I held my tongue\, my bones withered away\, *   because of my groaning all day long.For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; *   my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.Then I acknowledged my sin to you\, *   and did not conceal my guilt.I said\, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” *   Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; *   when the great waters overflow\, they shall not reach them.You are my hiding-place;   you preserve me from trouble; *you surround me with shouts of deliverance.“I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go; *   I will guide you with my eye.Do not be like horse or mule\, which have no understanding; *   who must be fitted with bit and bridle\,   or else they will not stay near you.”Great are the tribulations of the wicked; *   but mercy embraces those who trust in the Lord.Be glad\, you righteous\, and rejoice in the Lord; *   shout for joy\, all who are true of heart. \n\n\n\nRomans 5:12-19 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJust as sin came into the world through one man\, and death came through sin\, and so death spread to all because all have sinned—sin was indeed in the world before the law\, but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Yet death exercised dominion from Adam to Moses\, even over those whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam\, who is a type of the one who was to come. But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass\, much more surely have the grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man\, Jesus Christ\, abounded for the many. And the free gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation\, but the free gift following many trespasses brings justification. If\, because of the one man’s trespass\, death exercised dominion through that one\, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one man\, Jesus Christ. Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all\, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners\, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. \n\n\n\nMatthew 4:1-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter Jesus was baptized\, he was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights\, and afterwards he was famished. The tempter came and said to him\, “If you are the Son of God\, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered\, “It is written\, ‘One does not live by bread alone\, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple\, saying to him\, “If you are the Son of God\, throw yourself down; for it is written\, ‘He will command his angels concerning you\,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up\, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him\, “Again it is written\, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again\, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him\, “All these I will give you\, if you will fall down and worship me.” Jesus said to him\, “Away with you\, Satan! for it is written\, ‘Worship the Lord your God\, and serve only him.’” Then the devil left him\, and suddenly angels came and waited on him. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday (Year A)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty and everlasting God\, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts\, that we\, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness\, may obtain of you\, the God of all mercy\, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nJoel 2:1-2\, 12-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nBlow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble\, for the day of the Lord is coming\, it is near—a day of darkness and gloom\, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness spread upon the mountains a great and powerful army comes; their like has never been from of old\, nor will be again after them in ages to come. Yet even now\, says the Lord\, return to me with all your heart\, with fasting\, with weeping\, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord\, your God\, for he is gracious and merciful\, slow to anger\, and abounding in steadfast love\, and relents from punishing. Who knows whether he will not turn and relent\, and leave a blessing behind him\, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord\, your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the children\, even infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room\, and the bride her canopy. Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests\, the ministers of the Lord\, weep. Let them say\, “Spare your people\, O Lord\, and do not make your heritage a mockery\, a byword among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples\, ‘Where is their God?’” \n\n\n\nPsalm 103 (BCP)\n\n\n\nBenedic\, anima mea \n\n\n\n1            Bless the Lord\, O my soul\, *and all that is within me\, bless his holy Name. \n\n\n\n2            Bless the Lord\, O my soul\, *and forget not all his benefits. \n\n\n\n3            He forgives all your sins *and heals all your infirmities; \n\n\n\n4            He redeems your life from the grave *and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness; \n\n\n\n5            He satisfies you with good things\, *and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. \n\n\n\n6            The Lord executes righteousness *and judgment for all who are oppressed. \n\n\n\n7            He made his ways known to Moses *and his works to the children of Israel. \n\n\n\n8            The Lord is full of compassion and mercy\, *slow to anger and of great kindness. \n\n\n\n9            He will not always accuse us\, *nor will he keep his anger for ever. \n\n\n\n10          He has not dealt with us according to our sins\, *nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. \n\n\n\n11          For as the heavens are high above the earth\, *so is his mercy great upon those who fear him. \n\n\n\n12          As far as the east is from the west\, *so far has he removed our sins from us. \n\n\n\n13          As a father cares for his children\, *so does the Lord care for those who fear him. \n\n\n\n14          For he himself knows whereof we are made; *he remembers that we are but dust. \n\n\n\n15          Our days are like the grass; *we flourish like a flower of the field; \n\n\n\n16          When the wind goes over it\, it is gone\, *and its place shall know it no more. \n\n\n\n17          But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him\, *and his righteousness on children’s children;  \n\n\n\n18          On those who keep his covenant *and remember his commandments and do them.  \n\n\n\n19          The Lord has set his throne in heaven\, *and his kingship has dominion over all.  \n\n\n\n20          Bless the Lord\, you angels of his\,you mighty ones who do his bidding\, *and hearken to the voice of his word.  \n\n\n\n21          Bless the Lord\, all you his hosts\, *you ministers of his who do his will.  \n\n\n\n22          Bless the Lord\, all you works of his\, in all places of his dominion; *bless the Lord\, O my soul. \n\n\n\n2 Corinthians 5:20b—6:10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWe entreat you on behalf of Christ\, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin\, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. As we work together with him\, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says\, “At an acceptable time I have listened to you\, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.” See\, now is the acceptable time; see\, now is the day of salvation! We are putting no obstacle in anyone’s way\, so that no fault may be found with our ministry\, but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance\, in afflictions\, hardships\, calamities\, beatings\, imprisonments\, riots\, labors\, sleepless nights\, hunger; by purity\, knowledge\, patience\, kindness\, holiness of spirit\, genuine love\, truthful speech\, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor\, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors\, and yet are true; as unknown\, and yet are well known; as dying\, and see—we are alive; as punished\, and yet not killed; as sorrowful\, yet always rejoicing; as poor\, yet making many rich; as having nothing\, and yet possessing everything. \n\n\n\nMatthew 6:1-6\, 16-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJesus said\, “Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you give alms\, do not sound a trumpet before you\, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets\, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But when you give alms\, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing\, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you pray\, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners\, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray\, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you fast\, do not look dismal\, like the hypocrites\, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But when you fast\, put oil on your head and wash your face\, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth\, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven\, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is\, there your heart will be also.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:The Great Vigil of Easter (Year ABC)
DESCRIPTION:Lessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nThe Service of Lessons\n\n\n\nAt least two of the following Lessons are read\, of which one is always the Lesson from Exodus.  \n\n\n\nGenesis 1:1—2:4a (NRSV)\n\n\n\nIn the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth\, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep\, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said\, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day\, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning\, the first day. And God said\, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters\, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning\, the second day. And God said\, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place\, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. God called the dry land Earth\, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. Then God said\, “Let the earth put forth vegetation: plants yielding seed\, and fruit trees of every kind on earth that bear fruit with the seed in it.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation: plants yielding seed of every kind\, and trees of every kind bearing fruit with the seed in it. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning\, the third day. And God said\, “Let there be lights in the dome of the sky to separate the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years\, and let them be lights in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars. God set them in the dome of the sky to give light upon the earth\, to rule over the day and over the night\, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning\, the fourth day. And God said\, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures\, and let birds fly above the earth across the dome of the sky.” So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves\, of every kind\, with which the waters swarm\, and every winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them\, saying\, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas\, and let birds multiply on the earth.” And there was evening and there was morning\, the fifth day. And God said\, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures of every kind: cattle and creeping things and wild animals of the earth of every kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals of the earth of every kind\, and the cattle of every kind\, and everything that creeps upon the ground of every kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said\, “Let us make humankind in our image\, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea\, and over the birds of the air\, and over the cattle\, and over all the wild animals of the earth\, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created humankind in his image\, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them\, and God said to them\, “Be fruitful and multiply\, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” God said\, “See\, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth\, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth\, and to every bird of the air\, and to everything that creeps on the earth\, everything that has the breath of life\, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. God saw everything that he had made\, and indeed\, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning\, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished\, and all their multitude. And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done\, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it\, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created. \n\n\n\nGenesis 7:1-5\, 11-18; 8:6-18; 9:8-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord said to Noah\, “Go into the ark\, you and all your household\, for I have seen that you alone are righteous before me in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals\, the male and its mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean\, the male and its mate; and seven pairs of the birds of the air also\, male and female\, to keep their kind alive on the face of all the earth. For in seven days I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground.” And Noah did all that the Lord had commanded him. In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life\, in the second month\, on the seventeenth day of the month\, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth\, and the windows of the heavens were opened. The rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. On the very same day Noah with his sons\, Shem and Ham and Japheth\, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons entered the ark\, they and every wild animal of every kind\, and all domestic animals of every kind\, and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth\, and every bird of every kind—every bird\, every winged creature. They went into the ark with Noah\, two and two of all flesh in which there was the breath of life. And those that entered\, male and female of all flesh\, went in as God had commanded him; and the Lord shut him in. The flood continued forty days on the earth; and the waters increased\, and bore up the ark\, and it rose high above the earth. The waters swelled and increased greatly on the earth; and the ark floated on the face of the waters. At the end of forty days Noah opened the window of the ark that he had made and sent out the raven; and it went to and fro until the waters were dried up from the earth. Then he sent out the dove from him\, to see if the waters had subsided from the face of the ground; but the dove found no place to set its foot\, and it returned to him to the ark\, for the waters were still on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took it and brought it into the ark with him. He waited another seven days\, and again he sent out the dove from the ark; and the dove came back to him in the evening\, and there in its beak was a freshly plucked olive leaf; so Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the earth. Then he waited another seven days\, and sent out the dove; and it did not return to him any more. In the six hundred first year\, in the first month\, the first day of the month\, the waters were dried up from the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark\, and looked\, and saw that the face of the ground was drying. In the second month\, on the twenty-seventh day of the month\, the earth was dry. Then God said to Noah\, “Go out of the ark\, you and your wife\, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh—birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth—so that they may abound on the earth\, and be fruitful and multiply on the earth.” So Noah went out with his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives. Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him\, “As for me\, I am establishing my covenant with you and your descendants after you\, and with every living creature that is with you\, the birds\, the domestic animals\, and every animal of the earth with you\, as many as came out of the ark. I establish my covenant with you\, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood\, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” God said\, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you\, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the clouds\, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth.” \n\n\n\nGenesis 22:1-18 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nGod tested Abraham. He said to him\, “Abraham!” And he said\, “Here I am.” He said\, “Take your son\, your only son Isaac\, whom you love\, and go to the land of Moriah\, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning\, saddled his donkey\, and took two of his young men with him\, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering\, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. Then Abraham said to his young men\, “Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship\, and then we will come back to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac\, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac said to his father Abraham\, “Father!” And he said\, “Here I am\, my son.” He said\, “The fire and the wood are here\, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said\, “God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering\, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. When they came to the place that God had shown him\, Abraham built an altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac\, and laid him on the altar\, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven\, and said\, “Abraham\, Abraham!” And he said\, “Here I am.” He said\, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God\, since you have not withheld your son\, your only son\, from me.” And Abraham looked up and saw a ram\, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place “The Lord will provide”; as it is said to this day\, “On the mount of the Lord it shall be provided.” The angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven\, and said\, “By myself I have sworn\, says the Lord: Because you have done this\, and have not withheld your son\, your only son\, I will indeed bless you\, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies\, and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves\, because you have obeyed my voice.” \n\n\n\nExodus 14:10-31; 15:20-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAs Pharaoh drew near\, the Israelites looked back\, and there were the Egyptians advancing on them. In great fear the Israelites cried out to the Lord. They said to Moses\, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? What have you done to us\, bringing us out of Egypt? Is this not the very thing we told you in Egypt\, ‘Let us alone and let us serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.” But Moses said to the people\, “Do not be afraid\, stand firm\, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you\, and you have only to keep still.” Then the Lord said to Moses\, “Why do you cry out to me? Tell the Israelites to go forward. But you lift up your staff\, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it\, that the Israelites may go into the sea on dry ground. Then I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and so I will gain glory for myself over Pharaoh and all his army\, his chariots\, and his chariot drivers. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord\, when I have gained glory for myself over Pharaoh\, his chariots\, and his chariot drivers.” The angel of God who was going before the Israelite army moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud moved from in front of them and took its place behind them. It came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel. And so the cloud was there with the darkness\, and it lit up the night; one did not come near the other all night. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. The Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night\, and turned the sea into dry land; and the waters were divided. The Israelites went into the sea on dry ground\, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. The Egyptians pursued\, and went into the sea after them\, all of Pharaoh’s horses\, chariots\, and chariot drivers. At the morning watch the Lord in the pillar of fire and cloud looked down upon the Egyptian army\, and threw the Egyptian army into panic. He clogged their chariot wheels so that they turned with difficulty. The Egyptians said\, “Let us flee from the Israelites\, for the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.” Then the Lord said to Moses\, “Stretch out your hand over the sea\, so that the water may come back upon the Egyptians\, upon their chariots and chariot drivers.” So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea\, and at dawn the sea returned to its normal depth. As the Egyptians fled before it\, the Lord tossed the Egyptians into the sea. The waters returned and covered the chariots and the chariot drivers\, the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea; not one of them remained. But the Israelites walked on dry ground through the sea\, the waters forming a wall for them on their right and on their left. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. Israel saw the great work that the Lord did against the Egyptians. So the people feared the Lord and believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses. Then the prophet Miriam\, Aaron’s sister\, took a tambourine in her hand; and all the women went out after her with tambourines and with dancing. And Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord\, for he has triumphed gloriously; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea.” \n\n\n\nIsaiah 55:1-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nHo\, everyone who thirsts\, come to the waters; and you that have no money\, come\, buy and eat! Come\, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread\, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me\, and eat what is good\, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear\, and come to me; listen\, so that you may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant\, my steadfast\, sure love for David. See\, I made him a witness to the peoples\, a leader and commander for the peoples. See\, you shall call nations that you do not know\, and nations that do not know you shall run to you\, because of the Lord your God\, the Holy One of Israel\, for he has glorified you. Seek the Lord while he may be found\, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way\, and the unrighteous their thoughts; let them return to the Lord\, that he may have mercy on them\, and to our God\, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts\, nor are your ways my ways\, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth\, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven\, and do not return there until they have watered the earth\, making it bring forth and sprout\, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater\, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty\, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose\, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. \n\n\n\nBaruch 3:9-15\, 32—4:4 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nHear the commandments of life\, O Israel; give ear\, and learn wisdom! Why is it\, O Israel\, why is it that you are in the land of your enemies\, that you are growing old in a foreign country\, that you are defiled with the dead\, that you are counted among those in Hades? You have forsaken the fountain of wisdom. If you had walked in the way of God\, you would be living in peace forever. Learn where there is wisdom\, where there is strength\, where there is understanding\, so that you may at the same time discern where there is length of days\, and life\, where there is light for the eyes\, and peace. Who has found her place? And who has entered her storehouses? But the one who knows all things knows her\, he found her by his understanding. The one who prepared the earth for all time filled it with four-footed creatures; the one who sends forth the light\, and it goes; he called it\, and it obeyed him\, trembling; the stars shone in their watches\, and were glad; he called them\, and they said\, “Here we are!” They shone with gladness for him who made them. This is our God; no other can be compared to him. He found the whole way to knowledge\, and gave her to his servant Jacob and to Israel\, whom he loved. Afterward she appeared on earth and lived with humankind. She is the book of the commandments of God\, the law that endures forever. All who hold her fast will live\, and those who forsake her will die. Turn\, O Jacob\, and take her; walk toward the shining of her light. Do not give your glory to another\, or your advantages to an alien people. Happy are we\, O Israel\, for we know what is pleasing to God. \n\n\n\nProverbs 8:1-8\, 19-21; 9:4b-6 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nDoes not wisdom call\, and does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights\, beside the way\, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town\, at the entrance of the portals she cries out: “To you\, O people\, I call\, and my cry is to all that live. O simple ones\, learn prudence; acquire intelligence\, you who lack it. Hear\, for I will speak noble things\, and from my lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth; wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. My fruit is better than gold\, even fine gold\, and my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness\, along the paths of justice\, endowing with wealth those who love me\, and filling their treasuries.” To those without sense she says\, “Come\, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity\, and live\, and walk in the way of insight.” \n\n\n\nEzekiel 36:24-28 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI will take you from the nations\, and gather you from all the countries\, and bring you into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water upon you\, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses\, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A new heart I will give you\, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my spirit within you\, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to observe my ordinances. Then you shall live in the land that I gave to your ancestors; and you shall be my people\, and I will be your God. \n\n\n\nZephaniah 3:14-20 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSing aloud\, O daughter Zion; shout\, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart\, O daughter Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you\, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel\, the Lord\, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more. On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear\, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. The Lord\, your God\, is in your midst\, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness\, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing as on a day of festival. I will remove disaster from you\, so that you will not bear reproach for it. I will deal with all your oppressors at that time. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast\, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. At that time I will bring you home\, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth\, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes\, says the Lord. \n\n\n\nAt the Eucharist\n\n\n\nCollect of the Day\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, who for our redemption gave your only- begotten Son to the death of the cross\, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin\, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nor this \n\n\n\nO God\, who made this most holy night to shine with the glory of the Lord’s resurrection: Stir up in your Church that Spirit of adoption which is given to us in Baptism\, that we\, being renewed both in body and mind\, may worship you in sincerity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you\, in the unity of the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nRomans 6:3-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nDo you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death\, so that\, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father\, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his\, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed\, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ\, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ\, being raised from the dead\, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died\, he died to sin\, once for all; but the life he lives\, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. \n\n\n\nPsalm 114 (BCP)\n\n\n\nIn exitu Israel \n\n\n\n1 Hallelujah!  When Israel came out of Egypt\, *       the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech\,2 Judah became God’s sanctuary *       and Israel his dominion.3 The sea beheld it and fled; *       Jordan turned and went back.4 The mountains skipped like rams\, *       and the little hills like young sheep.5 What ailed you\, O sea\, that you fled? *       O Jordan\, that you turned back?6 You mountains\, that you skipped like rams? *       you little hills like young sheep?7 Tremble\, O earth\, at the presence of the Lord\, *       at the presence of the God of Jacob\,8 Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water *      and flint-stone into a flowing spring. \n\n\n\nLuke 24:1-12 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nOn the first day of the week\, at early dawn\, they came to the tomb\, taking the spices that they had prepared. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb\, but when they went in\, they did not find the body. While they were perplexed about this\, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground\, but the men said to them\, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here\, but has risen. Remember how he told you\, while he was still in Galilee\, that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners\, and be crucified\, and on the third day rise again.” Then they remembered his words\, and returning from the tomb\, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene\, Joanna\, Mary the mother of James\, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. But these words seemed to them an idle tale\, and they did not believe them. But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in\, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home\, amazed at what had happened. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Holy Saturday (Year ABC)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nO God\, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that\, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath\, so may we await with him the coming of the third day\, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nFirst Reading\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nJob 14:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nA mortal\, born of woman\, few of days and full of trouble\, comes up like a flower and withers\, flees like a shadow and does not last. Do you fix your eyes on such a one? Do you bring me into judgment with you? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one can. Since their days are determined\, and the number of their months is known to you\, and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass\, look away from them\, and desist\, that they may enjoy\, like laborers\, their days. For there is hope for a tree\, if it is cut down\, that it will sprout again\, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth\, and its stump dies in the ground\, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die\, and are laid low; humans expire\, and where are they? As waters fail from a lake\, and a river wastes away and dries up\, so mortals lie down and do not rise again; until the heavens are no more\, they will not awake or be roused out of their sleep. Oh that you would hide me in Sheol\, that you would conceal me until your wrath is past\, that you would appoint me a set time\, and remember me! If mortals die\, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my release should come. \n\n\n\nLamentations 3:1-9\,19-24 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI am one who has seen affliction under the rod of God’s wrath; he has driven and brought me into darkness without any light; against me alone he turns his hand\, again and again\, all day long. He has made my flesh and my skin waste away\, and broken my bones; he has besieged and enveloped me with bitterness and tribulation; he has made me sit in darkness like the dead of long ago. He has walled me about so that I cannot escape; he has put heavy chains on me; though I call and cry for help\, he shuts out my prayer; he has blocked my ways with hewn stones\, he has made my paths crooked. The thought of my affliction and my homelessness is wormwood and gall!! My soul continually thinks of it and is bowed down within me. \n\n\n\nBut this I call to mind\, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases\, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion\,” says my soul\, “therefore I will hope in him.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 31:1-4\,15-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 In you\, O Lord\, have I taken refuge;  let me never be put to shame; *       deliver me in your righteousness.2 Incline your ear to me; *       make haste to deliver me.3 Be my strong rock\, a castle to keep me safe\,  for you are my crag and my stronghold; *       for the sake of your Name\, lead me and guide me.4 Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me\, *       for you are my tower of strength.15 My times are in your hand; *       rescue me from the hand of my enemies\,       and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *       and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\n1 Peter 4:1-8 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSince therefore Christ suffered in the flesh\, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin)\, so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God. You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do\, living in licentiousness\, passions\, drunkenness\, revels\, carousing\, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation\, and so they blaspheme. But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead\, so that\, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged\, they might live in the spirit as God does. The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all\, maintain constant love for one another\, for love covers a multitude of sins. \n\n\n\nA reading from the Gospels\n\n\n\nOne of the following. \n\n\n\nMatthew 27:57-66 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb.The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, “Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, `After three days I will rise again.’ Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, `He has been raised from the dead\,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them\, “You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.” So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. \n\n\n\nJohn 19:38-42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter these things\, Joseph of Arimathea\, who was a disciple of Jesus\, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews\, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus\, who had at first come to Jesus by night\, also came\, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes\, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths\, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified\, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so\, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation\, and the tomb was nearby\, they laid Jesus there. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Good Friday (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, we pray you graciously to behold this your family\, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed\, and given into the hands of sinners\, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nIsaiah 52:13—53:12 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSee\, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up\, and shall be very high. Just as there were many who were astonished at him—so marred was his appearance\, beyond human semblance\, and his form beyond that of mortals—so he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see\, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate. Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant\, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him\, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised\, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken\, struck down by God\, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions\, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole\, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way\, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed\, and he was afflicted\, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter\, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent\, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living\, stricken for the transgression of my people. They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich\, although he had done no violence\, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain. When you make his life an offering for sin\, he shall see his offspring\, and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the Lord shall prosper. Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one\, my servant\, shall make many righteous\, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great\, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out himself to death\, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many\, and made intercession for the transgressors. \n\n\n\nPsalm 22 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, Deus meus \n\n\n\n1 My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me? *and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?  \n\n\n\n2 O my God\, I cry in the daytime\, but you do not answer; *by night as well\, but I find no rest.  \n\n\n\n3 Yet you are the Holy One\, *enthroned upon the praises of Israel.  \n\n\n\n4 Our forefathers put their trust in you; *they trusted\, and you delivered them.  \n\n\n\n5 They cried out to you and were delivered; *they trusted in you and were not put to shame.  \n\n\n\n6 But as for me\, I am a worm and no man\, *scorned by all and despised by the people.  \n\n\n\n7 All who see me laugh me to scorn; *they curl their lips and wag their heads\, saying\,  \n\n\n\n8 “He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; *let him rescue him\, if he delights in him.”  \n\n\n\n9 Yet you are he who took me out of the womb\, *and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast.  \n\n\n\n10 I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; *you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb.  \n\n\n\n11 Be not far from me\, for trouble is near\, *and there is none to help.  \n\n\n\n12 Many young bulls encircle me; *strong bulls of Bashan surround me.  \n\n\n\n13 They open wide their jaws at me\, *like a ravening and a roaring lion.  \n\n\n\n14 I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; *my heart within my breast is melting wax.  \n\n\n\n15 My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; *and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.  \n\n\n\n16 Packs of dogs close me in\, and gangs of evildoers circle around me; *they pierce my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.  \n\n\n\n17 They stare and gloat over me; *they divide my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing.  \n\n\n\n18 Be not far away\, O Lord; *you are my strength; hasten to help me.  \n\n\n\n19 Save me from the sword\, *my life from the power of the dog.  \n\n\n\n20 Save me from the lion’s mouth\, *my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls.  \n\n\n\n21 I will declare your Name to my brethren; *in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.  \n\n\n\n22 Praise the Lord\, you that fear him; *stand in awe of him\, O offspring of Israel; all you of Jacob’s line\, give glory.  \n\n\n\n23 For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; *but when they cry to him he hears them.  \n\n\n\n24 My praise is of him in the great assembly; *I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.  \n\n\n\n25 The poor shall eat and be satisfied\, and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *“May your heart live for ever!”  \n\n\n\n26 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord\, *and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.  \n\n\n\n27 For kingship belongs to the Lord; *he rules over the nations.  \n\n\n\n28 To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; *all who go down to the dust fall before him.  \n\n\n\n29 My soul shall live for him; my descendants shall serve him; *they shall be known as the Lord’s for ever.  \n\n\n\n30 They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *the saving deeds that he has done. \n\n\n\nHebrews 10:16-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\n“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days\, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts\, and I will write them on their minds\,” he also adds\, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these\, there is no longer any offering for sin. Therefore\, my friends\, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus\, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is\, through his flesh)\, and since we have a great priest over the house of God\, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith\, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering\, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds\, not neglecting to meet together\, as is the habit of some\, but encouraging one another\, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. \n\n\n\nJohn 18:1—19:42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNarratorJesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden\, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas\, who betrayed him\, also knew the place\, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees\, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus\, knowing all that was to happen to him\, came forward and asked them\,JesusWhom are you looking for? NarratorThey answered\,SoldierJesus of Nazareth.NarratorJesus replied\,JesusI am he.NarratorJudas\, who betrayed him\, was standing with them. When Jesus said to them\, “I am he\,” they stepped back and fell to the ground. Again Jesus asked them\,JesusWhom are you looking for?NarratorAnd they said\,SoldierJesus of Nazareth.NarratorJesus answered\,JesusI told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me\, let these men go.NarratorThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken\,JesusI did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.NarratorThen Simon Peter\, who had a sword\, drew it\, struck the high priest’s slave\, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter\,JesusPut your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?NarratorSo the soldiers\, their officer\, and the Jewish police arrested Jesus and bound him. First they took him to Annas\, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas\, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one person die for the people.GuardYou are not also one of this man’s disciples\, are you?NarratorPeter said\,PeterI am not.NarratorNow the slaves and the police had made a charcoal fire because it was cold\, and they were standing around it and warming themselves. Peter also was standing with them and warming himself.JesusI have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple\, where all the Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.NarratorWhen he had said this\, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face\, saying\,PoliceIs that how you answer the high priest?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusIf I have spoken wrongly\, testify to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly\, why do you strike me?NarratorThen Annas sent Jesus bound to Caiaphas the high priest.GuardYou are not also one of Jesus’ disciples\, are you?NarratorPeter denied it and said\,PeterI am not.NarratorOne of the slaves of the high priest\, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off\, asked\,SlaveDid I not see you in the garden with Jesus?NarratorAgain Peter denied it\, and at that moment the cock crowed.PilateWhat accusation do you bring against this man?NarratorThey answered\,Elder 1If this man were not a criminal\, we would not have handed him over to you.NarratorPilate said to them\,PilateTake him yourselves and judge him according to your law.NarratorThe Jews replied\,Elder 2We are not permitted to put anyone to death.Narrator(This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)PilateAre you the King of the Jews? NarratorJesus answered\,JesusDo you ask this on your own\, or did others tell you about me?NarratorPilate replied\,PilateI am not a Jew\, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusMy kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world\, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is\, my kingdom is not from here.NarratorPilate asked him\,PilateSo you are a king?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusYou say that I am a king. For this I was born\, and for this I came into the world\, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.NarratorPilate asked him\,PilateWhat is truth?NarratorAfter Pilate had said this\, he went out to the Jews again and told them\,PilateI find no case against him. But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?NarratorThey shouted in reply\,PriestNot this man\, but Barabbas! NarratorNow Barabbas was a bandit.SoldierHail\, King of the Jews!Narratorand striking him on the face.PilateLook\, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.NarratorSo Jesus came out\, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them\,PilateHere is the man!NarratorWhen the chief priests and the police saw Jesus\, they shouted\,PriestCrucify him!PoliceCrucify him!NarratorPilate said to them\,PilateTake him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.NarratorThe Jews answered him\,PoliceWe have a law\, and according to that law he ought to diePriestbecause he has claimed to be the Son of God.NarratorNow when Pilate heard this\, he was more afraid than ever. He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus\,PilateWhere are you from?NarratorBut Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore said to him\,PilateDo you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you\, and power to crucify you?NarratorJesus answered him\,JesusYou would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.NarratorFrom then on Pilate tried to release Jesus\, but the Jews cried out\,PriestIf you release this man\, you are no friend of the emperor.PoliceEveryone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor.NarratorWhen Pilate heard these words\, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called The Stone Pavement\, or in Hebrew Gabbatha.PilateHere is your King!NarratorThey cried out\,PriestAway with him!PoliceAway with him!PriestCrucify him!NarratorPilate asked them\,PilateShall I crucify your King?NarratorThe chief priests answered\,PriestWe have no king but the emperor.Narrator  Then Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.All stand.So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself\, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull\, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him\, and with him two others\, one on either side\, with Jesus between them.PriestDo not write\, “The King of the Jews\,” but\, “This man said\, I am King of the Jews.”NarratorPilate answered\,PilateWhat I have written I have written.NarratorWhen the soldiers had crucified Jesus\, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts\, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless\, woven in one piece from the top. So they said to one another\,SoldierLet us not tear it\, but cast lots for it to see who will get it.NarratorThis was to fulfill what the scripture says\, “They divided my clothes among themselves\, and for my clothing they cast lots.” And that is what the soldiers did.JesusWoman\, here is your son.NarratorThen he said to the disciple\,JesusHere is your mother.NarratorAnd from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.JesusI am thirsty.NarratorA jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine\, he said\,JesusIt is finished.Narrator    Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.Silence may be kept.Since it was the day of Preparation\, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath\, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty Father\, whose dear Son\, on the night before he suffered\, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord\, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nExodus 12:1-4(5-10)11-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family\, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb\, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it.[Your lamb shall be without blemish\, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water\, but roasted over the fire\, with its head\, legs\, and inner organs. You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.]This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded\, your sandals on your feet\, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night\, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt\, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood\, I will pass over you\, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. \n\n\n\nPsalm 116:1\, 10-17 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDilexi\, quoniam \n\n\n\n1            I love the Lord\, because he has heard the voice of my supplication\, *because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. \n\n\n\n10          How shall I repay the Lord*for all the good things he has done for me? \n\n\n\n11          I will lift up the cup of salvation *and call upon the Name of the Lord.  \n\n\n\n12          I will fulfill my vows to the Lord*in the presence of all his people.  \n\n\n\n13          Precious in the sight of the Lord*is the death of his servants.  \n\n\n\n14          O Lord\, I am your servant; *I am your servant and the child of your handmaid;you have freed me from my bonds.  \n\n\n\n15          I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *and call upon the Name of the Lord.  \n\n\n\n16          I will fulfill my vows to the Lord*in the presence of all his people\,  \n\n\n\n17          In the courts of the Lord’s house\, *in the midst of you\, O Jerusalem.Hallelujah! \n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI received from the Lord what I also handed on to you\, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread\, and when he had given thanks\, he broke it and said\, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way he took the cup also\, after supper\, saying\, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this\, as often as you drink it\, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup\, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. \n\n\n\nJohn 13:1-17\, 31b-35 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow before the festival of the Passover\, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world\, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus\, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands\, and that he had come from God and was going to God\, got up from the table\, took off his outer robe\, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter\, who said to him\, “Lord\, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered\, “You do not know now what I am doing\, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him\, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered\, “Unless I wash you\, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him\, “Lord\, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him\, “One who has bathed does not need to wash\, except for the feet\, but is entirely clean. And you are clean\, though not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said\, “Not all of you are clean.” After he had washed their feet\, had put on his robe\, and had returned to the table\, he said to them\, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right\, for that is what I am. So if I\, your Lord and Teacher\, have washed your feet\, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example\, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly\, I tell you\, servants are not greater than their master\, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things\, you are blessed if you do them. Now the Son of Man has been glorified\, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him\, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children\, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you\, ‘Where I am going\, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment\, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you\, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples\, if you have love for one another.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Wednesday of Holy Week: Spy Wednesday (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nLord God\, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept joyfully the sufferings of the present time\, confident of the glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nIsaiah 50:4-9a (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher\, that I may know how to sustain the weary with a word. Morning by morning he wakens— wakens my ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God has opened my ear\, and I was not rebellious\, I did not turn backward. I gave my back to those who struck me\, and my cheeks to those who pulled out the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and spitting. The Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like flint\, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with me? Let us stand up together. Who are my adversaries? Let them confront me. is the Lord God who helps me; who will declare me guilty? \n\n\n\nPsalm 70 (BCP)\n\n\n\n1 Be pleased\, O God\, to deliver me; *       O Lord\, make haste to help me.2 Let those who seek my life be ashamed  and altogether dismayed; *       let those who take pleasure in my misfortune       draw back and be disgraced.3 Let those who say to me “Aha!” and gloat over me turn back\, *       because they are ashamed.4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; *       let those who love your salvation say for ever\,      “Great is the Lord!”5 But as for me\, I am poor and needy; *       come to me speedily\, O God.6 You are my helper and my deliverer; *       O Lord\, do not tarry. \n\n\n\nHebrews 12:1-3 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nTherefore\, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses\, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely\, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us\, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith\, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross\, disregarding its shame\, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners\, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. \n\n\n\nJohn 13:21-32 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit\, and declared\, “Very truly\, I tell you\, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another\, uncertain of whom he was speaking. One of his disciples—the one whom Jesus loved—was reclining next to him; Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So while reclining next to Jesus\, he asked him\, “Lord\, who is it?” Jesus answered\, “It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread\, he gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot. After he received the piece of bread\, Satan entered into him. Jesus said to him\, “Do quickly what you are going to do.” Now no one at the table knew why he said this to him. Some thought that\, because Judas had the common purse\, Jesus was telling him\, “Buy what we need for the festival”; or\, that he should give something to the poor. So\, after receiving the piece of bread\, he immediately went out. And it was night. \n\n\n\nWhen he had gone out\, Jesus said\, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified\, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him\, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

And being found in human form\, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name\, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend\, in heaven and on earth and under the earth\, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord\, to the glory of God the Father. \n\n\n\nLuke 22:14—23:56 or 23:1-49 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNarratorWhen the hour came\, Jesus took his place at the table\, and the apostles with him. He said to them\, JesusI have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I tell you\, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. NarratorThen he took a cup\, and after giving thanks he said\, JesusTake this and divide it among yourselves; for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. NarratorThen he took a loaf of bread\, and when he had given thanks\, he broke it and gave it to them\, saying\, JesusThis is my body\, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. NarratorAnd he did the same with the cup after supper\, saying\, JesusThis cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood. But see\, the one who betrays me is with me\, and his hand is on the table. For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined\, but woe to that one by whom he is betrayed! NarratorThen the apostles began to ask one another\, which one of them it could be who would do this.  A dispute also arose among the apostles as to which one of them was to be regarded as the greatest. But Jesus said to them\,JesusThe kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those in authority over them are called benefactors. But not so with you; rather the greatest among you must become like the youngest\, and the leader like one who serves. For who is greater\, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.  You are those who have stood by me in my trials; and I confer on you\, just as my Father has conferred on me\, a kingdom\, so that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom\, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Simon\, Simon\, listen! Satan has demanded to sift all of you like wheat\, but I have prayed for you that your own faith may not fail; and you\, when once you have turned back\, strengthen your brothers.NarratorAnd Peter said to Jesus\, PeterLord\, I am ready to go with you to prison and to death! NarratorJesus said\, JesusI tell you\, Peter\, the cock will not crow this day\, until you have denied three times that you know me. NarratorJesus said to his apostles\, JesusWhen I sent you out without a purse\, bag\, or sandals\, did you lack anything? NarratorThey said\, DiscipleNo\, not a thing. NarratorJesus said to them\, JesusBut now\, the one who has a purse must take it\, and likewise a bag. And the one who has no sword must sell his cloak and buy one. For I tell you\, this scripture must be fulfilled in me\, “And he was counted among the lawless”; and indeed what is written about me is being fulfilled. NarratorThey said\, DiscipleLord\, look\, here are two swords. NarratorHe replied\, JesusIt is enough. NarratorJesus came out and went\, as was his custom\, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. When he reached the place\, he said to them\, JesusPray that you may not come into the time of trial. NarratorThen he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw\, knelt down\, and prayed\, JesusFather\, if you are willing\, remove this cup from me; yet\, not my will but yours be done. NarratorThen an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. In his anguish he prayed more earnestly\, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.  When he got up from prayer\, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief\, and he said to them\,JesusWhy are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial. NarratorWhile Jesus was still speaking\, suddenly a crowd came\, and the one called Judas\, one of the twelve\, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him; but Jesus said to him\, JesusJudas\, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man? NarratorWhen those who were around Jesus saw what was coming\, they asked\, DiscipleLord\, should we strike with the sword? NarratorThen one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus said\, JesusNo more of this! NarratorAnd he touched the slave’s ear and healed him.  Then Jesus said to the chief priests\, the officers of the temple police\, and the elders who had come for him\,JesusHave you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a bandit? When I was with you day after day in the temple\, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour\, and the power of darkness! NarratorThen the crowd seized Jesus and led him away.  The crowd brought Jesus into the high priest’s house. But Peter was following at a distance. When they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat down together\, Peter sat among them. Then a servant-girl\, seeing Peter in the firelight\, stared at him and said\,Servant 1This man also was with him. NarratorBut Peter denied it\, saying\, PeterWoman\, I do not know him. NarratorA little later someone else\, on seeing Peter\, said\, Servant 2You also are one of them. NarratorBut Peter said\, PeterMan\, I am not! NarratorThen about an hour later still another kept insisting\, Servant 3Surely this man also was with the prisoner; for he is a Galilean. NarratorBut Peter said\, PeterMan\, I do not know what you are talking about! NarratorAt that moment\, while Peter was still speaking\, the cock crowed. The Lord turned and looked at Peter. Then Peter remembered the word of the Lord\, how Jesus had said to him\, JesusBefore the cock crows today\, you will deny me three times. NarratorAnd Peter went out and wept bitterly.  Now the men who were holding Jesus began to mock him and beat him; they also blindfolded him and kept asking him\,Soldier 1Prophesy! Soldier 2Who is it that struck you? NarratorThey kept heaping many other insults on Jesus.  When day came\, the assembly of the elders of the people\, both chief priests and scribes\, gathered together\, and they brought Jesus to their council. They said\,Elder 1If you are the Messiah\, tell us. NarratorJesus replied\, JesusIf I tell you\, you will not believe; and if I question you\, you will not answer. But from now on the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God. NarratorAll of them asked\, Elder 2Are you\, then\, the Son of God? NarratorJesus said to them\, JesusYou say that I am. NarratorThen they said\, Elder 3What further testimony do we need? Elder 2We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!  [Luke 23:1-49]NarratorThen the assembly rose as a body and brought Jesus before Pilate. They began to accuse Jesus saying\, Elder 1We found this man perverting our nation\, Elder 2forbidding us to pay taxes to the emperor\, Elder 3and saying that he himself is the Messiah\, a king. NarratorThen Pilate asked Jesus\, PilateAre you the king of the Jews? NarratorJesus answered\, JesusYou say so. NarratorThen Pilate said to the chief priests and the crowds\, PilateI find no basis for an accusation against this man. NarratorBut they were insistent and said\, Elder 1He stirs up the people Elder 2by teaching throughout all Judea\, Elder 3from Galilee where he began even to this place. NarratorWhen Pilate heard this\, he asked whether the man was a Galilean. And when he learned that Jesus was under Herod’s jurisdiction\, Pilate sent Jesus off to Herod\, who was himself in Jerusalem at that time.  When Herod saw Jesus\, he was very glad\, for he had been wanting to see him for a long time\, because he had heard about Jesus and was hoping to see him perform some sign. Herod questioned him at some length\, but Jesus gave him no answer. The chief priests and the scribes stood by\, vehemently accusing him. Even Herod with his soldiers treated Jesus with contempt and mocked him; then Herod put an elegant robe on Jesus\, and sent him back to Pilate. That same day Herod and Pilate became friends with each other; before this they had been enemies. Pilate then called together the chief priests\, the leaders\, and the people\, and said to them\,PilateYou brought me this man as one who was perverting the people; and here I have examined him in your presence and have not found this man guilty of any of your charges against him. Neither has Herod\, for he sent him back to us. Indeed\, this man has done nothing to deserve death. I will therefore have him flogged and release him. NarratorThen the elders all shouted out together\, Elder 2Away with this fellow! Elder 3Release Barabbas for us! Narrator(Barabbas was a man who had been put in prison for an insurrection that had taken place in the city\, and for murder.)  Pilate\, wanting to release Jesus\, addressed them again; but they kept shouting\,Elder 1Crucify\, crucify him! NarratorA third time Pilate said to them\, PilateWhy\, what evil has he done? I have found in him no ground for the sentence of death; I will therefore have him flogged and then release him. NarratorBut the Elders kept urgently demanding with loud shouts that Jesus should be crucified; and their voices prevailed. So Pilate gave his verdict that their demand should be granted. Pilate released the man they asked for\, the one who had been put in prison for insurrection and murder\, and he handed Jesus over as they wished.  As they led Jesus away\, they seized a man\, Simon of Cyrene\, who was coming from the country\, and they laid the cross on him\, and made him carry it behind Jesus. A great number of the people followed him\, and among them were women who were beating their breasts and wailing for him. But Jesus turned to them and said\,JesusDaughters of Jerusalem\, do not weep for me\, but weep for yourselves and for your children. For the days are surely coming when they will say\, “Blessed are the barren\, and the wombs that never bore\, and the breasts that never nursed\,” Then they will begin to say to the mountains\, “Fall on us”; and to the hills\, “Cover us.” For if they do this when the wood is green\, what will happen when it is dry? NarratorTwo others also\, who were criminals\, were led away to be put to death with Jesus.  All stand. When they came to the place that is called The Skull\, they crucified Jesus there with the criminals\, one on his right and one on his left. Then Jesus said\,JesusFather\, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing. NarratorAnd they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood by\, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him\, saying\, Elder 1He saved others; Elder 2let him save himself Elder 3if he is the Messiah of God\, his chosen one! NarratorThe soldiers also mocked him\, coming up and offering him sour wine\, and saying\, Soldier 1If you are the King of the Jews\, Soldier 2save yourself! NarratorThere was also an inscription over Jesus that read\, “This is the King of the Jews.”  One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding Jesus and saying\,Criminal 1Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us! NarratorBut the other rebuked him saying\, Criminal 2Do you not fear God\, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly\, for we are getting what we deserve for our deeds\, but this man has done nothing wrong. NarratorThen he said\, Criminal 2Jesus\, remember me when you come into your kingdom. NarratorJesus replied\, JesusTruly I tell you\, today you will be with me in Paradise. NarratorIt was now about noon\, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon\, while the sun’s light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Then Jesus\, crying with a loud voice\, said\, JesusFather\, into your hands I commend my spirit. NarratorHaving said this\, he breathed his last.  Silence may be kept. When the centurion saw what had taken place\, he praised God and said\,CenturionCertainly this man was innocent. NarratorAnd when all the crowds who had gathered there for this spectacle saw what had taken place\, they returned home\, beating their breasts. But all Jesus’ acquaintances\, including the women who had followed him from Galilee\, stood at a distance\, watching these things. NarratorNow there was a good and righteous man named Joseph\, who\, though a member of the council\, had not agreed to their plan and action. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea\, and he was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Joseph took the body down\, wrapped it in a linen cloth\, and laid it in a rock-hewn tomb where no one had ever been laid.  It was the day of Preparation\, and the sabbath was beginning. The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed\, and they saw the tomb and how his body was laid. Then they returned\, and prepared spices and ointments. On the sabbath they rested according to the commandment.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:5th Sunday in Lent (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that\, among the swift and varied changes of the world\, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever.

I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth\, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild animals will honor me\, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness\, rivers in the desert\, to give drink to my chosen people\, the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 126 (BCP)\n\n\n\nIn convertendo \n\n\n\n1            When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion\, *then were we like those who dream.  \n\n\n\n2            Then was our mouth filled with laughter\, *and our tongue with shouts of joy.  \n\n\n\n3            Then they said among the nations\, *“The Lord has done great things for them.”  \n\n\n\n4            The Lord has done great things for us\, *and we are glad indeed.  \n\n\n\n5            Restore our fortunes\, O Lord\, *like the watercourses of the Negev.  \n\n\n\n6            Those who sowed with tears *will reap with songs of joy.  \n\n\n\n7            Those who go out weeping\, carrying the seed\, *will come again with joy\, shouldering their sheaves. \n\n\n\nPhilippians 3:4b-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nIf anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh\, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day\, a member of the people of Israel\, of the tribe of Benjamin\, a Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law\, a Pharisee; as to zeal\, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law\, blameless. Yet whatever gains I had\, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that\, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things\, and I regard them as rubbish\, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him\, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law\, but one that comes through faith in Christ\, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his sufferings by becoming like him in his death\, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own\, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved\, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead\, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. \n\n\n\nJohn 12:1-8 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSix days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany\, the home of Lazarus\, whom he had raised from the dead. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served\, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. Mary took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard\, anointed Jesus’ feet\, and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot\, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him)\, said\, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” (He said this not because he cared about the poor\, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) Jesus said\, “Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you\, but you do not always have me.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:4th Sunday in Lent (Lætare Sunday\, Mothering Sunday\, Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nGracious Father\, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread\, that he may live in us\, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever.

While the Israelites were camped in Gilgal they kept the passover in the evening on the fourteenth day of the month in the plains of Jericho. On the day after the passover\, on that very day\, they ate the produce of the land\, unleavened cakes and parched grain. The manna ceased on the day they ate the produce of the land\, and the Israelites no longer had manna; they ate the crops of the land of Canaan that year. \n\n\n\nPsalm 32\n\n\n\nBeati quorum \n\n\n\n1            Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven\, *and whose sin is put away!  \n\n\n\n2            Happy are they to whom the Lord imputes no guilt\, *and in whose spirit there is no guile!  \n\n\n\n3            While I held my tongue\, my bones withered away\, *because of my groaning all day long.  \n\n\n\n4            For your hand was heavy upon me day and night; *my moisture was dried up as in the heat of summer.  \n\n\n\n5            Then I acknowledged my sin to you\, *and did not conceal my guilt.  \n\n\n\n6            I said\, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” *Then you forgave me the guilt of my sin.  \n\n\n\n7            Therefore all the faithful will make their prayers to you in time of trouble; *when the great waters overflow\, they shall not reach them.  \n\n\n\n8            You are my hiding-place; you preserve me from trouble; *you surround me with shouts of deliverance.  \n\n\n\n9            “I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go; *I will guide you with my eye.  \n\n\n\n10          Do not be like horse or mule\, which have no understanding; *who must be fitted with bit and bridle\,cor else they will not stay near you.”  \n\n\n\n11          Great are the tribulations of the wicked; *but mercy embraces those who trust in the Lord.  \n\n\n\n12          Be glad\, you righteous\, and rejoice in the Lord; *shout for joy\, all who are true of heart. \n\n\n\n2 Corinthians 5:16-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nFrom now on\, we regard no one from a human point of view; even though we once knew Christ from a human point of view\, we know him no longer in that way. So if anyone is in Christ\, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see\, everything has become new! All this is from God\, who reconciled us to himself through Christ\, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation; that is\, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself\, not counting their trespasses against them\, and entrusting the message of reconciliation to us. So we are ambassadors for Christ\, since God is making his appeal through us; we entreat you on behalf of Christ\, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin\, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. \n\n\n\nLuke 15:1-3\, 11b-32 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying\, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable: “There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father\, ‘Father\, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.’ So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country\, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything\, a severe famine took place throughout that country\, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country\, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said\, ‘How many of my father’s hired hands have bread enough and to spare\, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father\, and I will say to him\, “Father\, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands.’” So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off\, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him\, ‘Father\, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his slaves\, ‘Quickly\, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it\, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!’ And they began to celebrate. Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house\, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied\, ‘Your brother has come\, and your father has killed the fatted calf\, because he has got him back safe and sound.’ Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father\, ‘Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you\, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back\, who has devoured your property with prostitutes\, you killed the fatted calf for him!’ Then the father said to him\, ‘Son\, you are always with me\, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice\, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.’” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:3rd Sunday in Lent (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls\, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body\, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever.

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked\, and the bush was blazing\, yet it was not consumed. Then Moses said\, “I must turn aside and look at this great sight\, and see why the bush is not burned up.” When the Lord saw that he had turned aside to see\, God called to him out of the bush\, “Moses\, Moses!” And he said\, “Here I am.” Then he said\, “Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet\, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” He said further\, “I am the God of your father\, the God of Abraham\, the God of Isaac\, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face\, for he was afraid to look at God. Then the Lord said\, “I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed\, I know their sufferings\, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians\, and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land\, a land flowing with milk and honey\, to the country of the Canaanites\, the Hittites\, the Amorites\, the Perizzites\, the Hivites\, and the Jebusites. The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come\, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people\, the Israelites\, out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God\, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh\, and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” He said\, “I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt\, you shall worship God on this mountain.” But Moses said to God\, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them\, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you\,’ and they ask me\, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” God said to Moses\, “I am who I am.” He said further\, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites\, ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses\, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites\, ‘The Lord\, the God of your ancestors\, the God of Abraham\, the God of Isaac\, and the God of Jacob\, has sent me to you’: This is my name forever\, and this my title for all generations.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 63:1-8 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, Deus meus \n\n\n\n1            O God\, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; *     my soul thirsts for you\, my flesh faints for you\, as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.  \n\n\n\n2            Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place\, *     that I might behold your power and your glory. \n\n\n\n3            For your loving-kindness is better than life itself; *     my lips shall give you praise.  \n\n\n\n4            So will I bless you as long as I live *     and lift up my hands in your Name.  \n\n\n\n5            My soul is content\, as with marrow and fatness\, *     and my mouth praises you with joyful lips\,  \n\n\n\n6            When I remember you upon my bed\, *     and meditate on you in the night watches.  \n\n\n\n7            For you have been my helper\, *     and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice. \n\n\n\n8            My soul clings to you; *     your right hand holds me fast. \n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 10:1-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI do not want you to be unaware\, brothers and sisters\, that our ancestors were all under the cloud\, and all passed through the sea\, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea\, and all ate the same spiritual food\, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them\, and the rock was Christ. Nevertheless\, God was not pleased with most of them\, and they were struck down in the wilderness. Now these things occurred as examples for us\, so that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not become idolaters as some of them did; as it is written\, “The people sat down to eat and drink\, and they rose up to play.” We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did\, and twenty-three thousand fell in a single day. We must not put Christ to the test\, as some of them did\, and were destroyed by serpents. And do not complain as some of them did\, and were destroyed by the destroyer. These things happened to them to serve as an example\, and they were written down to instruct us\, on whom the ends of the ages have come. So if you think you are standing\, watch out that you do not fall. No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful\, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength\, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it. \n\n\n\nLuke 13:1-9 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAt that very time there were some present who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. He asked them\, “Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way they were worse sinners than all other Galileans? No\, I tell you; but unless you repent\, you will all perish as they did. Or those eighteen who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them—do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem? No\, I tell you; but unless you repent\, you will all perish just as they did.” Then he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and found none. So he said to the gardener\, ‘See here! For three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree\, and still I find none. Cut it down! Why should it be wasting the soil?’ He replied\, ‘Sir\, let it alone for one more year\, until I dig around it and put manure on it. If it bears fruit next year\, well and good; but if not\, you can cut it down.’” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:2nd Sunday in Lent (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nO God\, whose glory it is always to have mercy: Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways\, and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word\, Jesus Christ your Son; who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns\, one God\, for ever and ever.

Then he said to him\, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans\, to give you this land to possess.” But he said\, “O Lord God\, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” He said to him\, “Bring me a heifer three years old\, a female goat three years old\, a ram three years old\, a turtledove\, and a young pigeon.” He brought him all these and cut them in two\, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses\, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down\, a deep sleep fell upon Abram\, and a deep and terrifying darkness descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark\, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram\, saying\, “To your descendants I give this land\, from the river of Egypt to the great river\, the river Euphrates.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 27 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDominus illuminatio \n\n\n\n1            The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? *     the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid?  \n\n\n\n2            When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh\, *     it was they\, my foes and my adversaries\, who stumbled and fell. \n\n\n\n3            Though an army should encamp against me\, *     yet my heart shall not be afraid; \n\n\n\n4            And though war should rise up against me\, *     yet will I put my trust in him. \n\n\n\n5            One thing have I asked of the Lord; one thing I seek; *     that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life; \n\n\n\n6            To behold the fair beauty of the Lord*     and to seek him in his temple. \n\n\n\n7            For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shelter; *     he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high upon a rock. \n\n\n\n8            Even now he lifts up my head *     above my enemies round about me. \n\n\n\n9            Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds of great gladness; *     I will sing and make music to the Lord. \n\n\n\n10          Hearken to my voice\, O Lord\, when I call; *     have mercy on me and answer me. \n\n\n\n11          You speak in my heart and say\, “Seek my face.” *     Your face\, Lord\, will I seek. \n\n\n\n12          Hide not your face from me\, *     nor turn away your servant in displeasure. \n\n\n\n13          You have been my helper; cast me not away; *     do not forsake me\, O God of my salvation. \n\n\n\n14          Though my father and my mother forsake me\, *     the Lord will sustain me. \n\n\n\n15          Show me your way\, O Lord; *     lead me on a level path\, because of my enemies. \n\n\n\n16          Deliver me not into the hand of my adversaries\, *     for false witnesses have risen up against me\, and also those who speak malice. \n\n\n\n17          What if I had not believed that I should see the goodness of the Lord*     in the land of the living! \n\n\n\n18          O tarry and await the Lord’s pleasure; be strong\, and he shall comfort your heart; *     wait patiently for the Lord. \n\n\n\nPhilippians 3:17—4:1 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nBrothers and sisters\, join in imitating me\, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them\, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven\, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior\, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory\, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore\, my brothers and sisters\, whom I love and long for\, my joy and crown\, stand firm in the Lord in this way\, my beloved. \n\n\n\nLuke 13:31-35 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSome Pharisees came and said to Jesus\, “Get away from here\, for Herod wants to kill you.” He said to them\, “Go and tell that fox for me\, ‘Listen\, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow\, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today\, tomorrow\, and the next day I must be on my way\, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem.’ Jerusalem\, Jerusalem\, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings\, and you were not willing! See\, your house is left to you. And I tell you\, you will not see me until the time comes when you say\, ‘Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:1st Sunday in Lent (Year C)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, whose blessed Son was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan: Come quickly to help us who are assaulted by many temptations; and\, as you know the weaknesses of each of us\, let each one find you mighty to save; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nAnglican Cycle of Prayer\n\n\n\nThe See of Canterbury and selection of the next Archbishop of Canterbury \n\n\n\nThe Anglican Church of Canada/l’Église anglicane du Canada \n\n\n\nEpiscopal Church\n\n\n\nThe Most Rev.

You shall go to the priest who is in office at that time\, and say to him\, “Today I declare to the Lord your God that I have come into the land that the Lord swore to our ancestors to give us.” When the priest takes the basket from your hand and sets it down before the altar of the Lord your God\, you shall make this response before the Lord your God: “A wandering Aramean was my ancestor; he went down into Egypt and lived there as an alien\, few in number\, and there he became a great nation\, mighty and populous. When the Egyptians treated us harshly and afflicted us\, by imposing hard labor on us\, we cried to the Lord\, the God of our ancestors; the Lord heard our voice and saw our affliction\, our toil\, and our oppression. The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm\, with a terrifying display of power\, and with signs and wonders; and he brought us into this place and gave us this land\, a land flowing with milk and honey. So now I bring the first of the fruit of the ground that you\, O Lord\, have given me.” You shall set it down before the Lord your God and bow down before the Lord your God. Then you\, together with the Levites and the aliens who reside among you\, shall celebrate with all the bounty that the Lord your God has given to you and to your house. \n\n\n\nPsalm 91:1-2\, 9-16 (BCP)\n\n\n\nQui habitat \n\n\n\n1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High\, *     abides under the shadow of the Almighty. \n\n\n\n2 He shall say to the Lord\, “You are my refuge and my stronghold\, *     my God in whom I put my trust.”  \n\n\n\n9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge\, *     and the Most High your habitation\,  \n\n\n\n10 There shall no evil happen to you\, *     neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.  \n\n\n\n11 For he shall give his angels charge over you\, *     to keep you in all your ways.  \n\n\n\n12 They shall bear you in their hands\, *     lest you dash your foot against a stone.  \n\n\n\n13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; *     you shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet.  \n\n\n\n14 Because he is bound to me in love\, therefore will I deliver him; *     I will protect him\, because he knows my Name.  \n\n\n\n15 He shall call upon me\, and I will answer him; *     I am with him in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him to honor.  \n\n\n\n16 With long life will I satisfy him\, *     and show him my salvation. \n\n\n\nRomans 10:8b-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\n“The word is near you\, on your lips and in your heart” (that is\, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead\, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified\, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says\, “No one who believes in him will be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For\, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” \n\n\n\nLuke 4:1-13 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nAfter his baptism\, Jesus\, full of the Holy Spirit\, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness\, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing at all during those days\, and when they were over\, he was famished. The devil said to him\, “If you are the Son of God\, command this stone to become a loaf of bread.” Jesus answered him\, “It is written\, ‘One does not live by bread alone.’” Then the devil led him up and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And the devil said to him\, “To you I will give their glory and all this authority; for it has been given over to me\, and I give it to anyone I please. If you\, then\, will worship me\, it will all be yours.” Jesus answered him\, “It is written\, ‘Worship the Lord your God\, and serve only him.’” Then the devil took him to Jerusalem\, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple\, saying to him\, “If you are the Son of God\, throw yourself down from here\, for it is written\, ‘He will command his angels concerning you\, to protect you\,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up\, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus answered him\, “It is said\, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” When the devil had finished every test\, he departed from him until an opportune time. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Ash Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty and everlasting God\, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts\, that we\, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness\, may obtain of you\, the God of all mercy\, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nJoel 2:1-2\, 12-17 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nBlow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble\, for the day of the Lord is coming\, it is near—a day of darkness and gloom\, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness spread upon the mountains a great and powerful army comes; their like has never been from of old\, nor will be again after them in ages to come. Yet even now\, says the Lord\, return to me with all your heart\, with fasting\, with weeping\, and with mourning; rend your hearts and not your clothing. Return to the Lord\, your God\, for he is gracious and merciful\, slow to anger\, and abounding in steadfast love\, and relents from punishing. Who knows whether he will not turn and relent\, and leave a blessing behind him\, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord\, your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion; sanctify a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the children\, even infants at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room\, and the bride her canopy. Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests\, the ministers of the Lord\, weep. Let them say\, “Spare your people\, O Lord\, and do not make your heritage a mockery\, a byword among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples\, ‘Where is their God?’” \n\n\n\nPsalm 103 (BCP)\n\n\n\nBenedic\, anima mea \n\n\n\n1 Bless the Lord\, O my soul\, *     and all that is within me\, bless his holy Name. \n\n\n\n2 Bless the Lord\, O my soul\, *     and forget not all his benefits. \n\n\n\n3 He forgives all your sins *     and heals all your infirmities; \n\n\n\n4 He redeems your life from the grave *     and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness; \n\n\n\n5 He satisfies you with good things\, *     and your youth is renewed like an eagle’s. \n\n\n\n6 The Lord executes righteousness *     and judgment for all who are oppressed. \n\n\n\n7 He made his ways known to Moses *     and his works to the children of Israel. \n\n\n\n8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy\, *     slow to anger and of great kindness. \n\n\n\n9 He will not always accuse us\, *     nor will he keep his anger for ever. \n\n\n\n10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins\, *     nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. \n\n\n\n11 For as the heavens are high above the earth\, *     so is his mercy great upon those who fear him. \n\n\n\n12 As far as the east is from the west\, *     so far has he removed our sins from us. \n\n\n\n13 As a father cares for his children\, *     so does the Lord care for those who fear him. \n\n\n\n14 For he himself knows whereof we are made; *     he remembers that we are but dust. \n\n\n\n15 Our days are like the grass; *     we flourish like a flower of the field; \n\n\n\n16 When the wind goes over it\, it is gone\, *     and its place shall know it no more. \n\n\n\n17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever on those who fear him\, *     and his righteousness on children’s children;  \n\n\n\n18 On those who keep his covenant *     and remember his commandments and do them.  \n\n\n\n19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven\, *     and his kingship has dominion over all.  \n\n\n\n20 Bless the Lord\, you angels of his\, you mighty ones who do his bidding\, *     and hearken to the voice of his word.  \n\n\n\n21 Bless the Lord\, all you his hosts\, *     you ministers of his who do his will.  \n\n\n\n22 Bless the Lord\, all you works of his\, in all places of his dominion; *     bless the Lord\, O my soul. \n\n\n\n2 Corinthians 5:20b—6:10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWe entreat you on behalf of Christ\, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin\, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. As we work together with him\, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. For he says\, “At an acceptable time I have listened to you\, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.” See\, now is the acceptable time; see\, now is the day of salvation! We are putting no obstacle in anyone’s way\, so that no fault may be found with our ministry\, but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance\, in afflictions\, hardships\, calamities\, beatings\, imprisonments\, riots\, labors\, sleepless nights\, hunger; by purity\, knowledge\, patience\, kindness\, holiness of spirit\, genuine love\, truthful speech\, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; in honor and dishonor\, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors\, and yet are true; as unknown\, and yet are well known; as dying\, and see—we are alive; as punished\, and yet not killed; as sorrowful\, yet always rejoicing; as poor\, yet making many rich; as having nothing\, and yet possessing everything. \n\n\n\nMatthew 6:1-6\, 16-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJesus said\, “Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you give alms\, do not sound a trumpet before you\, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets\, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But when you give alms\, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing\, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you pray\, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners\, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But whenever you pray\, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. And whenever you fast\, do not look dismal\, like the hypocrites\, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you\, they have received their reward. But when you fast\, put oil on your head and wash your face\, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you. Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth\, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven\, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is\, there your heart will be also.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Holy Saturday (Year B)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nO God\, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that\, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and rested on this holy Sabbath\, so may we await with him the coming of the third day\, and rise with him to newness of life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nJob 14:1-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nA mortal\, born of woman\, few of days and full of trouble\, comes up like a flower and withers\, flees like a shadow and does not last. Do you fix your eyes on such a one? Do you bring me into judgment with you? Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one can. Since their days are determined\, and the number of their months is known to you\, and you have appointed the bounds that they cannot pass\, look away from them\, and desist\, that they may enjoy\, like laborers\, their days. For there is hope for a tree\, if it is cut down\, that it will sprout again\, and that its shoots will not cease. Though its root grows old in the earth\, and its stump dies in the ground\, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant. But mortals die\, and are laid low; humans expire\, and where are they? As waters fail from a lake\, and a river wastes away and dries up\, so mortals lie down and do not rise again; until the heavens are no more\, they will not awake or be roused out of their sleep. Oh that you would hide me in Sheol\, that you would conceal me until your wrath is past\, that you would appoint me a set time\, and remember me! If mortals die\, will they live again? All the days of my service I would wait until my release should come. \n\n\n\nPsalm 31:1-4\,15-16\n\n\n\nExaltabo te\, Domine \n\n\n\n1 In you\, O Lord\, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; *       deliver me in your righteousness.2 Incline your ear to me; *       make haste to deliver me.3 Be my strong rock\, a castle to keep me safe\, for you are my crag and my stronghold; *       for the sake of your Name\, lead me and guide me.4 Take me out of the net that they have secretly set for me\, *       for you are my tower of strength.15 My times are in your hand; *       rescue me from the hand of my enemies\, and from those who persecute me.16 Make your face to shine upon your servant\, *       and in your loving-kindness save me.” \n\n\n\n1 Peter 4:1-8 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSince therefore Christ suffered in the flesh\, arm yourselves also with the same intention (for whoever has suffered in the flesh has finished with sin)\, so as to live for the rest of your earthly life no longer by human desires but by the will of God. You have already spent enough time in doing what the Gentiles like to do\, living in licentiousness\, passions\, drunkenness\, revels\, carousing\, and lawless idolatry. They are surprised that you no longer join them in the same excesses of dissipation\, and so they blaspheme. But they will have to give an accounting to him who stands ready to judge the living and the dead. For this is the reason the gospel was proclaimed even to the dead\, so that\, though they had been judged in the flesh as everyone is judged\, they might live in the spirit as God does. The end of all things is near; therefore be serious and discipline yourselves for the sake of your prayers. Above all\, maintain constant love for one another\, for love covers a multitude of sins. \n\n\n\nMatthew 27:57-66 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nWhen it was evening\, there came a rich man from Arimathea\, named Joseph\, who was also a disciple of Jesus. He went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus; then Pilate ordered it to be given to him. So Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb\, which he had hewn in the rock. He then rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there\, sitting opposite the tomb.The next day\, that is\, after the day of Preparation\, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered before Pilate and said\, “Sir\, we remember what that impostor said while he was still alive\, `After three days I will rise again.’ Therefore command the tomb to be made secure until the third day; otherwise his disciples may go and steal him away\, and tell the people\, `He has been raised from the dead\,’ and the last deception would be worse than the first.” Pilate said to them\, “You have a guard of soldiers; go\, make it as secure as you can.” So they went with the guard and made the tomb secure by sealing the stone. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Good Friday (Year B)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, we pray you graciously to behold this your family\, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed\, and given into the hands of sinners\, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nIsaiah 52:13—53:12 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nSee\, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up\, and shall be very high. Just as there were many who were astonished at him—so marred was his appearance\, beyond human semblance\, and his form beyond that of mortals—so he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see\, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate. Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant\, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him\, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised\, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken\, struck down by God\, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions\, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole\, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way\, and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed\, and he was afflicted\, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter\, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent\, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living\, stricken for the transgression of my people. They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich\, although he had done no violence\, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain. When you make his life an offering for sin\, he shall see his offspring\, and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the Lord shall prosper. Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one\, my servant\, shall make many righteous\, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great\, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out himself to death\, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many\, and made intercession for the transgressors. \n\n\n\nPsalm 22 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, Deus meus \n\n\n\n1 My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me? *    and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?2 O my God\, I cry in the daytime\, but you do not answer; *    by night as well\, but I find no rest.3 Yet you are the Holy One\, *    enthroned upon the praises of Israel.4 Our forefathers put their trust in you; *    they trusted\, and you delivered them.5 They cried out to you and were delivered; *    they trusted in you and were not put to shame.6 But as for me\, I am a worm and no man\, *    scorned by all and despised by the people.7 All who see me laugh me to scorn; *    they curl their lips and wag their heads\, saying\,8 “He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; *    let him rescue him\, if he delights in him.”9 Yet you are he who took me out of the womb\, *    and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast.10 I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; *    you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb.11 Be not far from me\, for trouble is near\, *    and there is none to help.12 Many young bulls encircle me; *    strong bulls of Bashan surround me.13 They open wide their jaws at me\, *    like a ravening and a roaring lion.14 I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; *    my heart within my breast is melting wax.15 My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; *    and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.16 Packs of dogs close me in\, and gangs of evildoers circle around me; *    they pierce my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones.17 They stare and gloat over me; *    they divide my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing.18 Be not far away\, O Lord; *    you are my strength; hasten to help me.19 Save me from the sword\, *    my life from the power of the dog.20 Save me from the lion’s mouth\, *    my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls.21 I will declare your Name to my brethren; *    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you.22 Praise the Lord\, you that fear him; *    stand in awe of him\, O offspring of Israel; all you of Jacob’s line\, give glory.23 For he does not despise nor abhor the poor in their poverty; neither does he hide his face from them; *    but when they cry to him he hears them.24 My praise is of him in the great assembly; *    I will perform my vows in the presence of those who worship him.25 The poor shall eat and be satisfied\, and those who seek the Lord shall praise him: *     “May your heart live for ever!”26 All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord\, *    and all the families of the nations shall bow before him.27 For kingship belongs to the Lord; *    he rules over the nations.28 To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down in worship; *    all who go down to the dust fall before him.29 My soul shall live for him; my descendants shall serve him; *    they shall be known as the Lord’s for ever.30 They shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *    the saving deeds that he has done. \n\n\n\nHebrews 10:16-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\n“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days\, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts\, and I will write them on their minds\,” he also adds\, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these\, there is no longer any offering for sin. Therefore\, my friends\, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus\, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is\, through his flesh)\, and since we have a great priest over the house of God\, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith\, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering\, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds\, not neglecting to meet together\, as is the habit of some\, but encouraging one another\, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. \n\n\n\nJohn 18:1—19:42 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNarratorJesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to a place where there was a garden\, which he and his disciples entered. Now Judas\, who betrayed him\, also knew the place\, because Jesus often met there with his disciples. So Judas brought a detachment of soldiers together with police from the chief priests and the Pharisees\, and they came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus\, knowing all that was to happen to him\, came forward and asked them\,JesusWhom are you looking for?NarratorThey answered\,SoldierJesus of Nazareth.NarratorJesus replied\,JesusI am he.NarratorJudas\, who betrayed him\, was standing with them. When Jesus said to them\, “I am he\,” they stepped back and fell to the ground. Again Jesus asked them\,JesusWhom are you looking for?NarratorAnd they said\,SoldierJesus of Nazareth.NarratorJesus answered\,JesusI told you that I am he. So if you are looking for me\, let these men go.NarratorThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken\,JesusI did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.NarratorThen Simon Peter\, who had a sword\, drew it\, struck the high priest’s slave\, and cut off his right ear. The slave’s name was Malchus. Jesus said to Peter\,JesusPut your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?NarratorSo the soldiers\, their officer\, and the Jewish police arrested Jesus and bound him. First they took him to Annas\, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas\, the high priest that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the Jews that it was better to have one person die for the people.Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest\, he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest\, but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple\, who was known to the high priest\, went out\, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate\, and brought Peter in.The woman said to Peter\,GuardYou are not also one of this man’s disciples\, are you?NarratorPeter said\,PeterI am not.NarratorNow the slaves and the police had made a charcoal fire because it was cold\, and they were standing around it and warming themselves. Peter also was standing with them and warming himself.Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. Jesus answered\,JesusI have spoken openly to the world; I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple\, where all the Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret. Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said to them; they know what I said.NarratorWhen he had said this\, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face\, saying\,PoliceIs that how you answer the high priest?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusIf I have spoken wrongly\, testify to the wrong. But if I have spoken rightly\, why do you strike me?NarratorThen Annas sent Jesus bound to Caiaphas the high priest.Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Those who were standing near the fire asked him\,GuardYou are not also one of Jesus’ disciples\, are you?NarratorPeter denied it and said\,PeterI am not.NarratorOne of the slaves of the high priest\, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off\, asked\,SlaveDid I not see you in the garden with Jesus?Narrator Again Peter denied it\, and at that moment the cock crowed.Then they took Jesus from Caiaphas to Pilate’s headquarters. It was early in the morning. They themselves did not enter the headquarters\, so as to avoid ritual defilement and to be able to eat the Passover. So Pilate went out to them and said\,PilateWhat accusation do you bring against this man?NarratorThey answered\,Elder 1If this man were not a criminal\, we would not have handed him over to you.NarratorPilate said to them\,PilateTake him yourselves and judge him according to your law.NarratorThe Jews replied\,Elder 2We are not permitted to put anyone to death.Narrator(This was to fulfill what Jesus had said when he indicated the kind of death he was to die.)Then Pilate entered the headquarters again\, summoned Jesus\, and asked him\,PilateAre you the King of the Jews?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusDo you ask this on your own\, or did others tell you about me?NarratorPilate replied\,PilateI am not a Jew\, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusMy kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world\, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is\, my kingdom is not from here.NarratorPilate asked him\,PilateSo you are a king?NarratorJesus answered\,JesusYou say that I am a king. For this I was born\, and for this I came into the world\, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.NarratorPilate asked him\,PilateWhat is truth?NarratorAfter Pilate had said this\, he went out to the Jews again and told them\,PilateI find no case against him. But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover. Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?NarratorThey shouted in reply\,PriestNot this man\, but Barabbas!NarratorNow Barabbas was a bandit.Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged. And the soldiers wove a crown of thorns and put it on his head\, and they dressed him in a purple robe. They kept coming up to him\, saying\,SoldierHail\, King of the Jews!Narratorand striking him on the face.Pilate went out again and said to the Jews\,PilateLook\, I am bringing him out to you to let you know that I find no case against him.NarratorSo Jesus came out\, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them\,PilateHere is the man!NarratorWhen the chief priests and the police saw Jesus\, they shouted\,PriestCrucify him!PoliceCrucify him!NarratorPilate said to them\,PilateTake him yourselves and crucify him; I find no case against him.NarratorThe Jews answered him\,PoliceWe have a law\, and according to that law he ought to diePriestbecause he has claimed to be the Son of God.NarratorNow when Pilate heard this\, he was more afraid than ever. He entered his headquarters again and asked Jesus\,PilateWhere are you from?NarratorBut Jesus gave him no answer. Pilate therefore said to him\,PilateDo you refuse to speak to me? Do you not know that I have power to release you\, and power to crucify you?NarratorJesus answered him\,JesusYou would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.NarratorFrom then on Pilate tried to release Jesus\, but the Jews cried out\,PriestIf you release this man\, you are no friend of the emperor.PoliceEveryone who claims to be a king sets himself against the emperor.NarratorWhen Pilate heard these words\, he brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called The Stone Pavement\, or in Hebrew Gabbatha.Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. Pilate said to the Jews\,PilateHere is your King!NarratorThey cried out\,PriestAway with him!PoliceAway with him!PriestCrucify him!NarratorPilate asked them\,PilateShall I crucify your King?NarratorThe chief priests answered\,PriestWe have no king but the emperor.NarratorThen Pilate handed Jesus over to them to be crucified.¶ All stand.So they took Jesus; and carrying the cross by himself\, he went out to what is called The Place of the Skull\, which in Hebrew is called Golgotha. There they crucified him\, and with him two others\, one on either side\, with Jesus between them.Pilate also had an inscription written and put on the cross. It read\, “Jesus of Nazareth\, the King of the Jews.” Many of the Jews read this inscription\, because the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew\, in Latin\, and in Greek.Then the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate\,PriestDo not write\, “The King of the Jews\,” but\, “This man said\, I am King of the Jews.”NarratorPilate answered\,PilateWhat I have written I have written.NarratorWhen the soldiers had crucified Jesus\, they took his clothes and divided them into four parts\, one for each soldier. They also took his tunic; now the tunic was seamless\, woven in one piece from the top. So they said to one another\,SoldierLet us not tear it\, but cast lots for it to see who will get it.NarratorThis was to fulfill what the scripture says\, “They divided my clothes among themselves\, and for my clothing they cast lots.” And that is what the soldiers did.Meanwhile\, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother\, and his mother’s sister\, Mary the wife of Clopas\, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her\, he said to his mother\,JesusWoman\, here is your son.NarratorThen he said to the disciple\,JesusHere is your mother.NarratorAnd from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.After this\, when Jesus knew that all was now finished\, he said (in order to fulfill the scripture)\,JesusI am thirsty.NarratorA jar full of sour wine was standing there. So they put a sponge full of the wine on a branch of hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the wine\, he said\,JesusIt is finished.NarratorThen he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.¶ Silence may be kept.Since it was the day of Preparation\, the Jews did not want the bodies left on the cross during the sabbath\, especially because that sabbath was a day of great solemnity. So they asked Pilate to have the legs of the crucified men broken and the bodies removed.Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who had been crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead\, they did not break his legs. Instead\, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear\, and at once blood and water came out.(He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true\, and he knows that he tells the truth.)These things occurred so that the scripture might be fulfilled\, “None of his bones shall be broken.” And again another passage of scripture says\, “They will look on the one whom they have pierced.”After these things\, Joseph of Arimathea\, who was a disciple of Jesus\, though a secret one because of his fear of the Jews\, asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission; so he came and removed his body. Nicodemus\, who had at first come to Jesus by night\, also came\, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes\, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with the spices in linen cloths\, according to the burial custom of the Jews. Now there was a garden in the place where he was crucified\, and in the garden there was a new tomb in which no one had ever been laid. And so\, because it was the Jewish day of Preparation\, and the tomb was nearby\, they laid Jesus there.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:Maundy Thursday (Year B)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty Father\, whose dear Son\, on the night before he suffered\, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord\, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever. Amen. \n\n\n\nLessons\n\n\n\nLessons appointed for use for this day from the Revised Common Lectionary (Episcopal version). \n\n\n\nExodus 12:1-4(5-10)11-14 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family\, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb\, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it.[Your lamb shall be without blemish\, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water\, but roasted over the fire\, with its head\, legs\, and inner organs. You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.]This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded\, your sandals on your feet\, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night\, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt\, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood\, I will pass over you\, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. \n\n\n\nPsalm 116:1\, 10-17 (BCP)\n\n\n\nDilexi\, quoniam \n\n\n\n1 I love the Lord\, because he has heard the voice of my supplication\, *    because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.10 How shall I repay the Lord *    for all the good things he has done for me?11 I will lift up the cup of salvation *    and call upon the Name of the Lord.12 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *    in the presence of all his people.13 Precious in the sight of the Lord *    is the death of his servants.14 O Lord\, I am your servant; *    I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.15 I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *    and call upon the Name of the Lord.16 I will fulfill my vows to the Lord *    in the presence of all his people\,17 In the courts of the Lord’s house\, *    in the midst of you\, O Jerusalem.     [Hallelujah!] \n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 11:23-26 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nI received from the Lord what I also handed on to you\, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread\, and when he had given thanks\, he broke it and said\, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way he took the cup also\, after supper\, saying\, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this\, as often as you drink it\, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup\, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. \n\n\n\nJohn 13:1-17\, 31b-35 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow before the festival of the Passover\, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world\, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus\, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands\, and that he had come from God and was going to God\, got up from the table\, took off his outer robe\, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter\, who said to him\, “Lord\, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered\, “You do not know now what I am doing\, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him\, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered\, “Unless I wash you\, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him\, “Lord\, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him\, “One who has bathed does not need to wash\, except for the feet\, but is entirely clean. And you are clean\, though not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said\, “Not all of you are clean.” After he had washed their feet\, had put on his robe\, and had returned to the table\, he said to them\, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right\, for that is what I am. So if I\, your Lord and Teacher\, have washed your feet\, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example\, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly\, I tell you\, servants are not greater than their master\, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things\, you are blessed if you do them. Now the Son of Man has been glorified\, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him\, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children\, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you\, ‘Where I am going\, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment\, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you\, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples\, if you have love for one another.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday (Year B)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty and everliving God\, in your tender love for the human race you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon him our nature\, and to suffer death upon the cross\, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering\, and also share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever.

If anyone says to you\, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this\, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’” They went away and found a colt tied near a door\, outside in the street. As they were untying it\, some of the bystanders said to them\, “What are you doing\, untying the colt?” They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it. Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road\, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting\, “Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David! Hosanna in the highest heaven!” Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple. \n\n\n\nPsalm 118:1-2\, 19-29 (BCP)\n\n\n\nConfitemini Domino \n\n\n\n1 Give thanks to the Lord\, for he is good; *    his mercy endures for ever.2 Let Israel now proclaim\, *    “His mercy endures for ever.”19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; *    I will enter them; I will offer thanks to the Lord.20 “This is the gate of the Lord; *    he who is righteous may enter.”21 I will give thanks to you\, for you answered me *    and have become my salvation.22 The same stone which the builders rejected *    has become the chief cornerstone.23 This is the Lord’s doing\, *    and it is marvelous in our eyes.24 On this day the Lord has acted; *    we will rejoice and be glad in it.25 Hosannah\, Lord\, hosannah! *    Lord\, send us now success.26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; *    we bless you from the house of the Lord.27 God is the Lord; he has shined upon us; *    form a procession with branches up to the horns of the altar.28 “You are my God\, and I will thank you; *    you are my God\, and I will exalt you.”29 Give thanks to the Lord\, for he is good; *    his mercy endures for ever. \n\n\n\nThe Liturgy of the Word\n\n\n\nIsaiah 45:21-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nDeclare and present your case;   let them take counsel together!Who told this long ago?   Who declared it of old?Was it not I\, the Lord?   There is no other god besides me\,a righteous God and a Saviour;   there is no one besides me. \n\n\n\nTurn to me and be saved\,   all the ends of the earth!   For I am God\, and there is no other.By myself I have sworn\,   from my mouth has gone forth in righteousness   a word that shall not return:‘To me every knee shall bow\,   every tongue shall swear.’ \n\n\n\nOnly in the Lord\, it shall be said of me\,   are righteousness and strength;all who were incensed against him   shall come to him and be ashamed.In the Lord all the offspring of Israel   shall triumph and glory. \n\n\n\nPsalm 22:1-21 [or 1-11] (BCP)\n\n\n\nDeus\, Deus meus \n\n\n\n 1 My God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me? *     and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress? \n\n\n\n 2 O my God\, I cry in the daytime\, but you do not answer; *     by night as well\, but I find no rest. \n\n\n\n 3 Yet you are the Holy One\, *     enthroned upon the praises of Israel. \n\n\n\n 4 Our forefathers put their trust in you; *    they trusted\, and you delivered them. \n\n\n\n 5 They cried out to you and were delivered; *    they trusted in you and were not put to shame. \n\n\n\n 6 But as for me\, I am a worm and no man\, *     scorned by all and despised by the people. \n\n\n\n 7 All who see me laugh me to scorn; *    they curl their lips and wag their heads\, saying\, \n\n\n\n 8 “He trusted in the LORD; let him deliver him; *    let him rescue him\, if he delights in him.” \n\n\n\n 9 Yet you are he who took me out of the womb\, *    and kept me safe upon my mother’s breast. \n\n\n\n10 I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; *    you were my God when I was still in my mother’s womb. \n\n\n\n11 Be not far from me\, for trouble is near\, *    and there is none to help. \n\n\n\n12 Many young bulls encircle me; *    strong bulls of Bashan surround me. \n\n\n\n13 They open wide their jaws at me\, *     like a ravening and a roaring lion. \n\n\n\n14 I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; *    my heart within my breast is melting wax. \n\n\n\n15 My mouth is dried out like a pot-sherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; *    and you have laid me in the dust of the grave. \n\n\n\n16 Packs of dogs close me in\, and gangs of evildoers circle around me; *    they pierce my hands and my feet; I can count all my bones. \n\n\n\n17 They stare and gloat over me; *    they divide my garments among them; they cast lots for my clothing. \n\n\n\n18 Be not far away\, O LORD; *    you are my strength; hasten to help me. \n\n\n\n19 Save me from the sword\, *    my life from the power of the dog. \n\n\n\n20 Save me from the lion’s mouth\, *    my wretched body from the horns of wild bulls. \n\n\n\n21 I will declare your Name to my brethren; *    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you. \n\n\n\nPhilippians 2:5-11 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nLet the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus\, who\, though he was in the form of God\, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited\, but emptied himself\, taking the form of a slave\, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form\, he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name\, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend\, in heaven and on earth and under the earth\, and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord\, to the glory of God the Father. \n\n\n\nMark 14:32—15:47 (NRSV) [or 15:1-39(40-47)]\n\n\n\nNarratorThey went to a place called Gethsemane; and Jesus said to his disciples\,JesusSit here while I pray.NarratorJesus took with him Peter and James and John\, and began to be distressed and agitated. And he said to the three disciples\,JesusI am deeply grieved\, even to death; remain here\, and keep awake.NarratorAnd going a little farther\, Jesus threw himself on the ground and prayed that\, if it were possible\, the hour might pass from him. He said\,JesusAbba\, Father\, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet\, not what I want\, but what you want.NarratorJesus came and found the disciples sleeping; and he said to Peter\,JesusSimon\, are you asleep? Could you not keep awake one hour? Keep awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing\, but the flesh is weak.NarratorAnd again Jesus went away and prayed\, saying the same words. And once more he came and found the disciples sleeping\, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to say to him.Jesus came a third time and said to them\,JesusAre you still sleeping and taking your rest? Enough! The hour has come; the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up\, let us be going. See\, my betrayer is at hand.NarratorImmediately\, while Jesus was still speaking\, Judas\, one of the twelve\, arrived; and with him there was a crowd with swords and clubs\, from the chief priests\, the scribes\, and the elders. Now the betrayer had given the crowd a sign\, saying\,JudasThe one I will kiss is the man; arrest him and lead him away under guard.NarratorSo when Judas came\, he went up to Jesus at once and said\,JudasRabbi!Narratorand kissed him. Then the crowd laid hands on Jesus and arrested him. But one of those who stood near drew his sword and struck the slave of the high priest\, cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to them\,JesusHave you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching\, and you did not arrest me. But let the scriptures be fulfilled.NarratorAll of Jesus’ followers deserted him and fled. A certain young man was following Jesus\, wearing nothing but a linen cloth. The crowd caught hold of him\, but he left the linen cloth and ran off naked.They took Jesus to the high priest; and all the chief priests\, the elders\, and the scribes were assembled. Peter had followed Jesus at a distance\, right into the courtyard of the high priest; and he was sitting with the guards\, warming himself at the fire.Now the chief priests and the whole council were looking for testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none. For many gave false testimony against him\, and their testimony did not agree. Some stood up and gave false testimony against Jesus\, saying\,WitnessWe heard him say\, “I will destroy this temple that is made with hands\, and in three days I will build another\, not made with hands.”NarratorBut even on this point their testimony did not agree. Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus\,High PriestHave you no answer? What is it that they testify against you?NarratorBut Jesus was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest asked him\,High PriestAre you the Messiah\, the Son of the Blessed One?NarratorJesus said\,JesusI am; and “you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power\,” and “coming with the clouds of heaven.”NarratorThen the high priest tore his clothes and said\,High PriestWhy do we still need witnesses? You have heard his blasphemy! What is your decision?NarratorThe whole council condemned Jesus as deserving death. Some began to spit on him\, to blindfold him\, and to strike him\, saying to him\,CouncilProphesy!NarratorThe guards also took Jesus over and beat him.While Peter was below in the courtyard\, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself\, she stared at him and said\,ServantYou also were with Jesus\, the man from Nazareth.NarratorBut Peter denied it\, saying\,PeterI do not know or understand what you are talking about.NarratorAnd Peter went out into the forecourt. Then the cock crowed. And the servant-girl\, on seeing him\, began again to say to the bystanders\,ServantThis man is one of them.NarratorBut again Peter denied it. Then after a little while the bystanders again said to Peter\,Bystander 1Certainly you are one of them; for you are a Galilean.NarratorBut Peter began to curse\, and he swore an oath\,PeterI do not know this man you are talking about.NarratorAt that moment the cock crowed for the second time. Then Peter remembered that Jesus had said to him\,JesusBefore the cock crows twice\, you will deny me three times.NarratorAnd Peter broke down and wept.[Mark 15:1-39\, (40-47)]As soon as it was morning\, the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council. They bound Jesus\, led him away\, and handed him over to Pilate. Pilate asked him\,PilateAre you the King of the Jews?NarratorJesus answered him\,JesusYou say so.NarratorThen the chief priests accused Jesus of many things. Pilate asked him again\,PilateHave you no answer? See how many charges they bring against you.NarratorBut Jesus made no further reply\, so that Pilate was amazed.Now at the festival Pilate used to release a prisoner for them\, anyone for whom they asked. Now a man called Barabbas was in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the insurrection. So the crowd came and began to ask Pilate to do for them according to his custom. Then Pilate answered them\,PilateDo you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?NarratorFor he realized that it was out of jealousy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas for them instead.Pilate spoke to them again\,PilateThen what do you wish me to do with the man you call the King of the Jews?NarratorThe crowd shouted back\,CrowdCrucify him!NarratorPilate asked them\,PilateWhy\, what evil has he done?NarratorBut they shouted all the more\,CrowdCrucify him!NarratorSo Pilate\, wishing to satisfy the crowd\, released Barabbas for them; and after flogging Jesus\, Pilate handed him over to be crucified.Then the soldiers led Jesus into the courtyard of the palace (that is\, the governor’s headquarters); and they called together the whole cohort. And they clothed Jesus in a purple cloak; and after twisting some thorns into a crown\, they put it on him. And they began saluting him saying\,SoldierHail\, King of the Jews!NarratorThey struck his head with a reed\, spat upon him\, and knelt down in homage to him. After mocking him\, they stripped him of the purple cloak and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.The soldiers compelled a passer-by\, who was coming in from the country\, to carry Jesus’ cross; it was Simon of Cyrene\, the father of Alexander and Rufus. Then the soldiers brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull).¶ All stand.And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh; but he did not take it. And the soldiers crucified Jesus\, and divided his clothes among them\, casting lots to decide what each should take.It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified Jesus. The inscription of the charge against him read\, “The King of the Jews\,” And with Jesus they crucified two bandits\, one on his right and one on his left.Those who passed by derided Jesus\, shaking their heads and saying\,Passer-byAha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days\, save yourself\, and come down from the cross!NarratorIn the same way the chief priests\, along with the scribes\, were also mocking Jesus among themselves and saying\,Chief PriestHe saved others; he cannot save himself.ScribeLet the Messiah\, the King of Israel\, come down from the cross now\, so that we may see and believe.NarratorThose who were crucified with Jesus also taunted him.When it was noon\, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. At three o’clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice\,JesusEloi\, Eloi\, lema sabachthani?Narratorwhich means\,JesusMy God\, my God\, why have you forsaken me?NarratorWhen some of the bystanders heard it\, they said\,Bystander 1Listen\, he is calling for Elijah.NarratorAnd someone ran\, filled a sponge with sour wine\, put it on a stick\, and gave it to Jesus to drink\, saying\,Bystander 2Wait\, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.NarratorThen Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last.¶ Silence may be kept.And the curtain of the temple was torn in two\, from top to bottom.Now when the centurion\, who stood facing him\, saw that in this way Jesus breathed his last\, he said\,CenturionTruly this man was God’s Son!NarratorThere were also women looking on from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene\, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses\, and Salome. These used to follow Jesus and provided for him when he was in Galilee; and there were many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.When evening had come\, and since it was the day of Preparation\, that is\, the day before the sabbath\, Joseph of Arimathea\, a respected member of the council\, who was also himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God\, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.Then Pilate wondered if Jesus were already dead; and summoning the centurion\, he asked him whether Jesus had been dead for some time. When Pilate learned from the centurion that Jesus was dead\, he granted the body to Joseph.Then Joseph bought a linen cloth\, and taking down the body\, wrapped it in the linen cloth\, and laid it in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock. Joseph then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb.Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where the body was laid.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

No longer shall they teach one another\, or say to each other\, ‘Know the Lord\,’ for they shall all know me\, from the least of them to the greatest\,” says the Lord; “for I will forgive their iniquity\, and remember their sin no more.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 51:1-13 (BCP)\n\n\n\nMiserere mei\, Deus \n\n\n\n1 Have mercy on me\, O God\, according to your loving-kindness; *    in your great compassion blot out my offenses.2 Wash me through and through from my wickedness *    and cleanse me from my sin.3 For I know my transgressions\, *    and my sin is ever before me.4 Against you only have I sinned *    and done what is evil in your sight.5 And so you are justified when you speak *    and upright in your judgment.6 Indeed\, I have been wicked from my birth\, *    a sinner from my mother’s womb.7 For behold\, you look for truth deep within me\, *    and will make me understand wisdom secretly.8 Purge me from my sin\, and I shall be pure; *    wash me\, and I shall be clean indeed.9 Make me hear of joy and gladness\, *    that the body you have broken may rejoice.10 Hide your face from my sins *    and blot out all my iniquities.11 Create in me a clean heart\, O God\, *    and renew a right spirit within me.12 Cast me not away from your presence *    and take not your holy Spirit from me.13 Give me the joy of your saving help again *    and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit. \n\n\n\nHebrews 5:5-10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nChrist did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest\, but was appointed by the one who said to him\, “You are my Son\, today I have begotten you”; as he says also in another place\, “You are a priest forever\, according to the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of his flesh\, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications\, with loud cries and tears\, to the one who was able to save him from death\, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son\, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect\, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him\, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. \n\n\n\nJohn 12:20-33 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nNow among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip\, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee\, and said to him\, “Sir\, we wish to see Jesus.” Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them\, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly\, I tell you\, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies\, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies\, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it\, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me\, and where I am\, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me\, the Father will honor. Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father\, save me from this hour’? No\, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father\, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven\, “I have glorified it\, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said\, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered\, “This voice has come for your sake\, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I\, when I am lifted up from the earth\, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:The Fourth Sunday in Lent—Lætare Sunday (Year B)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nGracious Father\, whose blessed Son Jesus Christ came down from heaven to be the true bread which gives life to the world: Evermore give us this bread\, that he may live in us\, and we in him; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, now and for ever.

The people spoke against God and against Moses\, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water\, and we detest this miserable food.” Then the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people\, and they bit the people\, so that many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said\, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord to take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses\, “Make a poisonous serpent\, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live.” So Moses made a serpent of bronze\, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone\, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live. \n\n\n\nPsalm 107:1-3\,17-22 (BCP)\n\n\n\nConfitemini Domino \n\n\n\n1 Give thanks to the Lord\, for he is good\, *    and his mercy endures for ever.2 Let all those whom the Lord has redeemed proclaim *    that he redeemed them from the hand of the foe.3 He gathered them out of the lands; *    from the east and from the west\, from the north and from the south.17 Some were fools and took to rebellious ways; *    they were afflicted because of their sins.18 They abhorred all manner of food *    and drew near to death’s door.19 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble\, *    and he delivered them from their distress.20 He sent forth his word and healed them *    and saved them from the grave.21 Let them give thanks to the Lord for his mercy *    and the wonders he does for his children.22 Let them offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving *    and tell of his acts with shouts of joy. \n\n\n\nEphesians 2:1-10 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nYou were dead through the trespasses and sins in which you once lived\, following the course of this world\, following the ruler of the power of the air\, the spirit that is now at work among those who are disobedient. All of us once lived among them in the passions of our flesh\, following the desires of flesh and senses\, and we were by nature children of wrath\, like everyone else. But God\, who is rich in mercy\, out of the great love with which he loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses\, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus\, so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith\, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not the result of works\, so that no one may boast. For we are what he has made us\, created in Christ Jesus for good works\, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life. \n\n\n\nJohn 3:14-21 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nJesus said\, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness\, so must the Son of Man be lifted up\, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son\, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. Indeed\, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world\, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already\, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment\, that the light has come into the world\, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For all who do evil hate the light and do not come to the light\, so that their deeds may not be exposed. But those who do what is true come to the light\, so that it may be clearly seen that their deeds have been done in God.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.

SUMMARY:The Third Sunday in Lent (Year B)
DESCRIPTION:Prayers\n\n\n\nAlmighty God\, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls\, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body\, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord\, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit\, one God\, for ever and ever.

You shall not make for yourself an idol\, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above\, or that is on the earth beneath\, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God\, punishing children for the iniquity of parents\, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me\, but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God\, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. Remember the sabbath day\, and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you\, your son or your daughter\, your male or female slave\, your livestock\, or the alien resident in your towns. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth\, the sea\, and all that is in them\, but rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it. Honor your father and your mother\, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife\, or male or female slave\, or ox\, or donkey\, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” \n\n\n\nPsalm 19 (BCP)\n\n\n\nCæli enarrant \n\n\n\n1 The heavens declare the glory of God\, *       and the firmament shows his handiwork.2 One day tells its tale to another\, *       and one night imparts knowledge to another.3 Although they have no words or language\, *       and their voices are not heard\,4 Their sound has gone out into all lands\, *       and their message to the ends of the world.5 In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *       it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber; it rejoices like a champion to run its course.6 It goes forth from the uttermost edge of the heavens and runs about to the end of it again; *       nothing is hidden from its burning heat.7 The law of the Lord is perfect and revives the soul; *       the testimony of the Lord is sure and gives wisdom to the innocent.8 The statutes of the Lord are just and rejoice the heart; *       the commandment of the Lord is clear and gives light to the eyes.9 The fear of the Lord is clean and endures for ever; *       the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold\, more than much fine gold\, *       sweeter far than honey\, than honey in the comb.11 By them also is your servant enlightened\, *       and in keeping them there is great reward.12 Who can tell how often he offends? *       cleanse me from my secret faults.13 Above all\, keep your servant from presumptuous sins; let them not get dominion over me; *       then shall I be whole and sound\, and innocent of a great offense.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight\, *       O Lord\, my strength and my redeemer. \n\n\n\n1 Corinthians 1:18-25 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing\, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written\, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise\, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.” Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since\, in the wisdom of God\, the world did not know God through wisdom\, God decided\, through the foolishness of our proclamation\, to save those who believe. For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom\, but we proclaim Christ crucified\, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles\, but to those who are the called\, both Jews and Greeks\, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For God’s foolishness is wiser than human wisdom\, and God’s weakness is stronger than human strength. \n\n\n\nJohn 2:13-22 (NRSV)\n\n\n\nThe Passover of the Jews was near\, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. In the temple he found people selling cattle\, sheep\, and doves\, and the money changers seated at their tables. Making a whip of cords\, he drove all of them out of the temple\, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. He told those who were selling the doves\, “Take these things out of here! Stop making my Father’s house a marketplace!” His disciples remembered that it was written\, “Zeal for your house will consume me.” The Jews then said to him\, “What sign can you show us for doing this?” Jesus answered them\, “Destroy this temple\, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said\, “This temple has been under construction for forty-six years\, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking of the temple of his body. After he was raised from the dead\, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament\, New Testament and Gospel readings are from the New Revised Standard Version Bible: Anglicized Edition\, copyright 1989\, 1995\, Division of Christian Education of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the United States of America.
