00:10O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
00:17O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us.
00:26Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
00:32is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
00:39Let us praise the Lord. The Lord's name be praised.
00:49I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
00:59I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
01:09God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the
01:19Father.
01:20Through him all things were made.
01:23For us men, and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit, was incarnate of
01:31the Virgin Mary, and became man.
01:35For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
01:39He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
01:46He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
01:52He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
01:59I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father,
02:06who with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
02:14I believe in one holy, Catholic, and apostolic Church.
02:18I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
02:23and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
02:30Amen.
02:33The Lord be with you, and also with you.
02:39Let us pray.
02:42Lord, have mercy upon us.
02:45Christ, have mercy upon us.
02:48Lord, have mercy upon us.
02:53Our Father in heaven, holy is your name.
02:58Your kingdom come.
03:00Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
03:05Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
03:16Do not allow us to fall into temptation, but deliver us from every evil.
03:23Amen.
03:27O Lord, have mercy upon us, and grant us your salvation.
03:35Bless your ministers with righteousness, and make your chosen people joyful.
03:44O Lord, save your people, and bless your inheritance.
03:51Give peace in our time, O Lord, because there is none other that fights for it, but only you, O
03:59God.
04:01O God, make clean our hearts within us.
04:06Do not take your Holy Spirit from us.

21:03look at us
21:05and so the lame man
21:07paid attention to them
21:08expecting to receive something from them
21:12but Peter said
21:13I have no silver or gold
21:16but what I do have I give you
21:20in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene
21:24stand up and walk
21:27then Peter took hold of him by the right hand
21:30and raised him up
21:32at once the man's feet and ankles were made strong
21:37he jumped up stood and began walking around
21:41and he entered the temple courts with them
21:44walking leaping and praising God
21:48all the people saw him walking and praising God
21:52recognizing him as the man who used to sit
21:54and ask for donations at the beautiful gate of the temple
21:59and so they were filled with astonishment
22:01and amazement
22:03at what had happened to him
22:08while the man was hanging on to Peter and John
22:11all the people completely astounded
22:13ran to them in the covered walkway
22:16called Solomon's Porticoe
22:20when Peter saw this
22:21he declared to the people
22:23men of Israel
22:24why are you amazed at this
22:27why do you stare at us
22:29as if we had made this man walk
22:30by our own power or piety
22:35the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
22:37the God of our forefathers
22:39has glorified his servant Jesus
22:42who you handed over and rejected
22:44in the presence of Pilate
22:46after he had decided to release him
22:50but you rejected the holy and righteous one
22:53and asked that a man who was a murderer
22:56be released to you
22:58you killed the originator of life
23:01whom God raised from the dead
23:03and to this fact we are witnesses
23:07on the basis of faith in Jesus' name
23:10his very name has made this man
23:13who you see and know strong
23:17the faith that is through Jesus
23:19has given him this complete help
23:22in the presence of all of you
23:26now brothers I know you acted in ignorance
23:29as your rulers did too
23:32but the things that God foretold long ago
23:35through all the prophets
23:37that his Christ would suffer
23:41he has fulfilled in this way
23:45therefore repent
23:46and turn back
23:47so that your sin may be wiped out
23:50so that times of refreshing
23:53may come from the presence of the Lord
23:55and so that he may send the Messiah
23:58appointed for you
23:59that is Jesus
24:03this one heaven must receive
24:05until the time all things are restored
24:08which God has declared from times long ago
24:11through his holy prophets
24:15Moses said
24:16the Lord your God
24:18will raise up for you
24:19a prophet like me
24:20from among your brothers
24:22you must obey him
24:23in everything he tells you
24:26every person
24:27who does not obey
24:28that prophet
24:29will be destroyed
24:30and so removed
24:32from the people
24:35all the prophets
24:36from Samuel
24:37and any who followed
24:38have spoken about
24:39and announced these days
24:43you are the sons
24:45of the prophets
24:46and of the covenant
24:47that God made
24:48with your ancestors
24:49saying to Abraham
24:51in your descendants
24:53all the nations
24:54of the earth
24:55will be blessed
24:58God raised up his servant
25:00and sent him first
25:01to you
25:02to bless you
25:03by turning each one of you
25:06from your iniquities
25:09this is the word
25:11of the Lord
25:11thanks be to God
25:19collect for peace
25:22O God
25:23who is the author of peace
