00:17When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed, and does what is just and right, he will
00:26preserve his life.
00:30For I am aware of my rebellious acts, I am forever conscious of my sin.
00:39Hide your face from my sins, wipe away all my guilt.
00:47The sacrifices God desires are a humble spirit, O God, a humble and repentant heart you will not reject.
01:01Dearly beloved brothers and sisters, the scripture moves us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our many sins and
01:10wickedness.
01:12We should not justify nor hide them before the face of Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, but confess them with
01:20a humble, lowly, penitent and obedient heart.
01:24To the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy.
01:35Although we ought always to humbly acknowledge our sins before God, we should do this particularly when we assemble and
01:43meet together,
01:44to give thanks for the great benefits we have received at his hands.
01:48To give him most worthy praise, to hear his most holy word, and to ask those things which are truly
01:57necessary as well for the body as the soul.
02:02Therefore I pray and ask you, who are present here today, to accompany me with a pure heart and humble
02:09voice to the throne of the heavenly grace, as we say together.
02:16Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
02:23We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts.
02:29We have offended against your holy laws.
02:32We have failed to do those things which we ought to have done, and we have done things which we
02:39ought not to have done.
02:44But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable sinners.
02:49Spare those, O God, who confess their faults.
02:53Restore those who are truly penitent, according to your promises declared to mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord.
03:03Grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to
03:12the glory of your holy name. Amen.
03:18Grant, we beseech you, merciful Lord, to your faithful people, pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all
03:26their sins, and serve you with a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
03:38Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name.
03:43Your kingdom come, your will be done, in earth as it is in heaven.
03:49Give us this day our daily bread.
03:52Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
03:59Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
04:05For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
04:10Amen.
04:15O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing out your praise.
04:23O God, make speed to save us.
04:27O Lord, make haste to help us.
04:33Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
04:39As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
04:45Amen.
04:48Praise the Lord.
04:51The Lord's name be praised.
04:59Praise the Lord.
05:01Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, and his loyal love endures.
05:07Who can adequately recount the Lord's mighty acts, or relate all his praiseworthy deeds?
05:14How blessed are those who promote justice, and do what is right, all the time.
05:21Remember me, O Lord, when you show favour to your people.
05:25Pay attention to me when you deliver, so that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,
05:31rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you.
05:37We have sinned like our ancestors.
05:40We have done wrong.
05:42We have done evil.
05:44Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds.
05:49They failed to remember your many acts of loyal love, and they rebelled at the sea by the Red Sea.
05:57Yet, he delivered them for the sake of his reputation, that he might reveal his power.
06:04He shouted at the Red Sea, and dried up.
06:07He led them through the deep water as if it were a desert.
06:11He delivered them from the power of the one who hated them.
06:15Rescued them from the power of the enemy.
06:19The water covered their enemies.
06:22Not even one of them survived.
06:25They believed his promises.
06:27They sang praises to him.
06:30They quickly forgot what he had done.
06:33They did not wait for his instructions.
06:37In the wilderness, they had an insatiable craving for meat.
06:41They challenged God in the wastelands.
06:45He granted their request, then struck them.
06:49With a disease.
06:51In the camp, they resented Moses and Aaron, the Lord's holy priest.
06:57The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan.
07:01It engulfed the group led by Abiram.
07:05Fire burned their group.
07:07The flames scorched the wicked.
07:10They made an image of a calf at Horeb and worshipped a metal idol.
07:14They traded their majestic God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
07:21They rejected the God who delivered them.
07:23The one who performed great deeds in Egypt.
07:27Amazing feats in the land of Ham.
07:30Mighty acts by the Red Sea.
07:34He threatened to destroy them.
07:36But Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him and turned back his destructive anger.
07:44They rejected the fruitful land.
07:46They did not believe his promise.
07:49They grumbled in their tents.
07:52They did not obey the Lord.
07:54So he made a solemn vow that he would make them die in the wilderness.
07:59Make their descendants die among the nations and scattered them amongst foreign lands.
08:05They worshipped Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
08:11They made the Lord angry by their actions and a plague broke out among them.
08:18Phineas took a stand and intervened and the plague subsided.
08:23This was credited to him as a righteous act for all generations to come.
08:30They made him angry by the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them.
08:36For they aroused his temple, and he spoke rashly.
08:42They did not destroy the nations as the Lord had commanded them to do.
08:46They mixed in with the nations and learnt their ways.
08:51They worshipped their idols, which became a snare to them.
08:55They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.
08:59They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.
09:07The land was polluted by bloodshed.
09:11They were defiled by their deeds and unfaithful in their actions.
09:16So the Lord was angry with his people and despised the people who belonged to him.
09:22He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
09:28Their enemies oppressed them.
09:31They were subject to their authority.
09:34Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude and degraded themselves by their sin.
09:42Yet he took notice of their distress when he heard their cry for help.
09:48He remembered his covenant with them, and relented because of his great loyal love.
09:55He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them.
10:11The Lord God of Israel deserves praise, in the future and for evermore.
10:17Let all the people say, we agree, praise the Lord.
10:24Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
10:30is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
10:34Amen.
10:40The first book of the Chronicles, chapter 29
10:46Hezekiah began to reign when he was 25 years old, and he reigned for 29 years in Jerusalem.
10:53His mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.
10:58He did that which was right in Yahweh's eyes, according to all that David, his father, had done.
11:07In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of Yahweh's house and repaired
11:12them.
11:14He brought in the priests and the Levites and gathered them together in the white place on the east side
11:19and said to them,
11:21Listen to me, you Levites, sanctify yourselves and sanctify Yahweh, the God of your father's house,
11:29and carry the filthiness out of this holy place.
11:33For our fathers were unfaithful and have done that which was evil in Yahweh, our God's sight,
11:40forsaking him, turning away their faces from the habitation of Yahweh and turning their backs on him.
11:49Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, put out the lamps,
11:53and have not burnt incense or burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.
12:00Therefore Yahweh's wrath was on Judah and Jerusalem,
12:04and he has delivered them to be tossed back and forth,
12:07to be in astonishment, a hissing, as you see with your eyes.
12:12For behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword,
12:16and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity because of this.
12:22Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Yahweh,
12:26the God of Israel,
12:30that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
12:35My sons, do not be negligent now,
12:38for Yahweh has chosen you to stand before him,
12:41to minister to him,
12:42and that you should be his ministers and burn incense.
12:48Then the Levites arose,
12:51Mahath, the son of Amasi,
12:53Jewal, the son of Azariah,
12:55of the sons of the Cowardites,
12:57and of the sons of Merari-Kish,
13:00the son of Abdi,
13:02and Azariah, the son of Jehalilal,
13:05and of the Gershonites,
13:07Jewa, the son of Zimah,
13:09Eden, the son of Jewa,
13:12and of the sons of Elisaphan,
13:14Shimri, and Jeul,
13:16and of the sons of Asaph,
13:18Zechariah, and Mataniah,
13:21of the sons of Heman,
13:23Jehoel, and Shimei,
13:25and of the sons of Jeduthun,
13:28Shemiah, and Uziel.
13:30They gathered their brothers,
13:33sanctified themselves,
13:34and went in,
13:35according to the commandment of the king by Yahweh's words,
13:39to cleanse Yahweh's house.
13:42The priests went into the inner part of Yahweh's house,
13:45to cleanse it,
13:46and brought out all the uncleanness,
13:48that they found in Yahweh's temple,
13:52into the court of Yahweh's house.
13:55And then the Levites took it from there,
13:57to carry it out to the Kidron book.
14:01They began on the first day of the first month,
14:04to sanctify,
14:05and on the eighth day of the month,
14:07they came to Yahweh's porch.
14:10They sanctified Yahweh's house in eight days,
14:13and on the sixteenth day of the first month,
14:15they finished.
14:17Then they went in to Hezekiah the king,
14:20within the palace,
14:21and said,
14:21We have cleansed all of Yahweh's house,
14:24including the altar of the burnt offering,
14:27with all its vessels,
14:29and the table of the showbread,
14:31with all its vessels.
14:33Moreover,
14:34all the vessels,
14:35which King Ahaz in his reign,
14:37had thrown away,
14:38when he was unfaithful,
14:40we have prepared and sanctified.
14:43Behold,
14:43they are before Yahweh's altar,
14:46in the proper place.
14:49Then Hezekiah the king rose up early,
14:52gathering the princes of the city,
14:54and went up to Yahweh's house.
14:57They brought seven bulls,
14:59seven rams,
14:59seven lambs,
15:00and seven male goats,
15:02for a sin offering for the kingdom,
15:05for the sanctuary,
15:06and for Judah.
15:08He commanded the priests,
15:10the son of Aaron,
15:10to offer them up on Yahweh's altar.
15:13And so they killed the bulls,
15:15and the priests received the blood,
15:17and sprinkled it on the altar.
15:20They killed the rams,
15:22and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
15:24They killed also the lambs,
15:25and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
15:28They brought near the male goats,
15:30for the sin offering,
15:31before the king and the assembly,
15:33and they laid their hands upon them.
15:37Then the priests killed them,
15:38and they made a sin offering,
15:40with their blood on the altar,
15:41making atonement for all Israel.
15:45For the king commanded that the burnt offering,
15:47and the sin offering,
15:48should be made for all of Israel.
15:52He said the Levites,
15:54in Yahweh's house,
15:55with cymbals,
15:56with stringed instruments,
15:58and with harps,
15:59according to the commandment of David,
16:02of Gad,
16:03the king's seer,
16:04and Nathan,
16:05the prophet.
16:07For the commandment was from Yahweh,
16:09by his prophets.
16:12The Levites stood with David's instruments,
16:16and with the priests,
16:17and the trumpets.
16:19Hezekiah commanded them,
16:21to offer the burnt offering,
16:22on the altar.
16:23And when the burnt offering began,
16:26Yahweh's song also began,
16:28along with the trumpets,
16:29and David,
16:30king of Israel's instruments.
16:33All the assembly worshipped,
16:35the singers sang,
16:36and the trumpeters sounded.
16:39All this continued,
16:40until the burnt offering was finished.
16:43And when they had finished the offering,
16:45the king and all who were present with him,
16:47bowed themselves down,
16:49and worshipped.
16:50Moreover,
16:51Hezekiah the king,
16:52and the princes,
16:53commanded the Levites,
16:55to sing praises to Yahweh,
16:56with the words of David,
16:58and of Asaph the seer.
17:01They sang praises with gladness,
17:04and they bowed their heads,
17:05and worshipped.
17:07Then Hezekiah answered,
17:09Now you have consecrated yourselves,
17:11to Yahweh.
17:13Come near,
17:14and bring sacrifices,
17:15and thank offerings,
17:16into Yahweh's house.
17:19The assembly brought in,
17:20the sacrifices,
17:21and thank offerings.
17:23And as many as were of a willing heart,
17:26brought in burnt offerings.
17:29The number of the burnt offerings,
17:31which the assembly brought,
17:33were 70 bulls,
17:34100 rams,
17:35and 200 lambs.
17:39All these were,
17:40for a burnt offering,
17:41to Yahweh.
17:43The consecrated things,
17:45were 600 head of cattle,
17:47and 3,000 sheep.
17:49But the priests,
17:50were too few,
17:51so that they could not,
17:52flay all the burnt offerings.
17:55Therefore their brothers,
17:56the Levites,
17:57were told to help them,
17:58until the work was ended,
18:00and until the priests,
18:02had sanctified themselves.
18:05for the Levites,
18:06were more upright in the heart,
18:08to sanctify themselves,
18:10than the priests.
18:12all the burnt offerings,
18:14and the priests,
18:14were in abundance,
18:15with the fat,
18:16of the peace offerings,
18:17and the drink offerings,
18:18for every burnt offering.
18:21And so the service,
18:23of Yahweh's house,
18:24was set in order.
18:26Hezekiah,
18:27and all the people rejoiced,
18:29because of that,
18:30which God had prepared,
18:31for the people.
18:32For the thing was done,
18:34suddenly.
18:36This,
18:37is the word,
18:38of the Lord.
18:39Thanks,
18:40be to God.
18:41Amen.
18:52Mary said,
18:54My soul exalts the Lord,
18:56and my spirit has begun to rejoice,
18:59in God my Saviour,
19:01because he has looked,
19:03upon the humble state,
19:04of his servant.
19:07For from now on,
19:08all generations,
19:09will call me blessed,
19:11because he who is mighty,
19:13has done great things for me,
19:15and holy is his name.
19:18From generation,
19:19to generation,
19:20he is merciful,
19:22to those who fear him.
19:24He has demonstrated,
19:25power with his arm.
19:27He has scattered,
19:29those whose pride,
19:30wells up,
19:30from the sheer arrogance,
19:32of their hearts.
19:34He has brought down,
19:35the mighty from their thrones,
19:37and has lifted up,
19:38those of lowly position.
19:40He has filled the hungry,
19:42with good things,
19:43and has sent,
19:44the rich away empty.
19:46He has helped,
19:48his servant Israel,
19:49remembering his mercy,
19:51as he promised,
19:52to our ancestors,
19:54to Abraham,
19:56and to his descendants,
19:58for ever.
19:59Glory be to the Father,
20:01and to the Son,
20:02and to the Holy Spirit,
20:04as it was in the beginning,
20:06is now,
20:07and ever shall be,
20:09world without end.
20:10Amen.
20:18The Gospel according to St. Mark,
20:21chapters 15 and 16.
20:25When evening had come,
20:27because it was the preparation day,
20:29that is,
20:30the day before the Sabbath,
20:32Joseph of Arimathea,
20:34a prominent council member,
20:36who also himself,
20:38was looking for God's kingdom,
20:39came.
20:40And he boldly went in to Pilate,
20:42and asked for the body of Jesus.
20:47Pilate marveled,
20:48if he were already dead,
20:49and summoning the centurion,
20:51he asked whether he had been dead long.
20:55When he had found out from the centurion,
20:58he granted the body to Joseph.
21:00He bought a linen cloth,
21:02and taking him down,
21:03wound him in the linen cloth,
21:05and laid him in a tomb,
21:06which had been cut out of a rock.
21:08He rolled a stone,
21:10against the door of the tomb.
21:12Mary Magdalene,
21:13and Mary the mother of Joses,
21:15saw where he was laid.
21:20When the Sabbath was passed,
21:21Mary Magdalene,
21:22and Mary the mother of James,
21:24and Salome,
21:25brought spices,
21:26that they may come,
21:27and anoint him.
21:29And very early,
21:30on the first day of the week,
21:32they came to the tomb,
21:33as soon as the sun was rising.
21:35And they were saying,
21:37amongst themselves,
21:37Who will roll away the stone,
21:39from the door of the tomb for us?
21:42For it was very big.
21:45Looking up,
21:46they saw that the stone,
21:47had already been rolled back.
21:49Entering into the tomb,
21:51they saw a young man,
21:52sitting on the right side,
21:54dressed in a white robe,
21:55and they were amazed.
21:57He said to them,
21:59Don't be amazed,
22:00for you see Jesus,
22:01the Nazarene,
22:02who was crucified.
22:05He is risen,
22:06he is not here.
22:07Behold,
22:08the place,
22:09where they laid him.
22:11But go tell his disciples,
22:13and Peter,
22:15he goes before you,
22:16into Galilee.
22:18There you will see him,
22:19as he said to you.
22:21And they went out,
22:22and fled from the tomb,
22:24for trembling,
22:25and astonishment,
22:26had come on them.
22:28They said nothing to anyone,
22:29for they were afraid.
22:33Now when he had risen early,
22:35on the first day of the week,
22:36he appeared first to Mary Magdalene,
22:39from whom he had cast out seven demons.
22:42She went and told those who had been with him,
22:45as they mourned and wept.
22:48And when they heard that he was alive,
22:50and had been seen by her,
22:52they did not believe.
22:57After these things,
22:58he was revealed in another form,
22:59to two of them,
23:01as they walked,
23:02on their way out,
23:02into the country.
23:04They went away,
23:05and told it to the others,
23:07but they didn't believe them,
23:08either.
23:10Later,
23:11he was revealed,
23:12to the eleven themselves,
23:13as they sat at table.
23:15And he rebuked them,
23:17for their unbelief,
23:18and hardness of heart.
23:20Because they didn't believe,
23:21those who had seen him,
23:23after he had risen.
23:25He said to them,
23:26go out into all the world,
23:28and preach the good news,
23:30to the whole of creation.
23:32He who believes,
23:34and is baptized,
23:35will be saved.
23:37But he who disbelieves,
23:38will be condemned.
23:41These signs,
23:42will accompany those,
23:43who believe.
23:45In my name,
23:46they will cast out demons.
23:48They will speak,
23:49with new languages.
23:50They will take up,
23:52serpents.
23:53And if they drink,
23:54any deadly thing,
23:55it will not hurt them.
23:57They will lay hands,
23:58on the sick,
23:59and they will recover.
24:02So then the Lord,
24:03after he had spoken to them,
24:04was received up,
24:06into heaven.
24:07And sat down,
24:08at the right hand of God.
24:11They went out,
24:12and preached everywhere.
24:14The Lord working with them,
24:17and confirming the word,
24:19by the signs,
24:20that followed.
24:22This is the word,
24:23of the Lord.
24:25Thanks be to God.
24:36Now,
24:37according to your word,
24:38Sovereign Lord,
24:40permit your servant,
24:41to depart in peace.
24:43For my eyes,
24:44have seen your salvation,
24:46that you have prepared,
24:48in the presence,
24:48of all peoples,
24:51a light,
24:51for revelation,
24:52to the Gentiles,
24:54and for glory,
24:55to your people,
24:56Israel.
24:59Glory be,
25:00to the Father,
25:01and to the Son,
25:01and to the Holy Spirit,
25:02as it was in the beginning,
25:05is now,
25:06and ever shall be,
25:07world without end.
25:09Amen.
25:14I believe in God,
25:16the Father Almighty,
25:18maker of heaven and earth,
25:20and in Jesus Christ,
25:21his only Son,
25:22our Lord,
25:24who was conceived,
25:25by the Holy Spirit,
25:27born of the Virgin Mary,
25:29suffered unto Pontius Pilate.
25:32He was crucified,
25:34dead,
25:34and buried.
25:35He descended into hell.
25:38On the third day,
25:39he rose again,
25:40from the dead.
25:41He ascended,
25:43into heaven,
25:44and is sitting,
25:45at the right hand,
25:46of God,
25:46the Father Almighty.
25:48From there,
25:49he shall come,
25:50to judge the living,
25:51and the dead.
25:53I believe,
25:54in the Holy Spirit,
25:55the Holy Catholic Church,
25:57the communion,
25:58of saints,
25:59the forgiveness of sins,
26:01the resurrection of the body,
26:04and the life everlasting.
26:06Amen.

26:14and with your spirit.
