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.
03:30Through 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. Amen.
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.
04:50The Lord's name be praised.
04:56Psalm 114
04:59When Israel left Egypt, when the family of Jacob left a foreign nation behind,
05:06Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his kingdom.
05:10The sea looked and fled.
05:13The Jordan River turned back.
05:15The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.
05:21Why do you flee, O sea?
05:24Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?
05:27Why do you skip like rams, O mountains, like lambs, O hills?
05:35Tremble, O earth, before the Lord, before the God of Jacob,
05:39who turned a rock into a pool of water,
05:41a hard rock into springs of water.
05:46Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
05:50As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
05:54world without end.
05:56Amen.
06:00Psalm 115
06:03Not to us, O Lord, not to us,
06:06but in your name bring honour,
06:08for the sake of your loyal love and faithfulness.
06:12Why should the nations say, where is their God?
06:17Our God is in heaven.
06:19He does whatever he pleases.
06:22Their idols are made of silver and gold.
06:26They are man-made.
06:27They have mouths, but cannot speak.
06:31Eyes, but cannot see.
06:33Ears, but cannot hear.
06:36Noses, but cannot smell.
06:39Hands, but cannot touch feet, but cannot walk.
06:42They cannot even clear their throats.
06:46Those who make them will end up like them,
06:48as will everyone who trusts in them.
06:52O Israel, trust in the Lord.
06:54He is their deliverer and protector.
06:58O family of Aaron, trust in the Lord.
07:01He is their deliverer and protector.
07:05You loyal followers of the Lord, trust in the Lord.
07:09He is their deliverer and protector.
07:13The Lord takes notice of us.
07:16He will bless.
07:17He will bless the family of Israel.
07:20He will bless the family of Aaron.
07:23He will bless his loyal followers, both young and old.
07:28May he increase your numbers, yours and your children's.
07:34May you be blessed by the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth.
07:39The heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind.
07:46The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any of those who descend into the silence of death.
07:53But we shall praise the Lord, nor do any of those who descend into the Lord, nor do any of
07:56those who descend into the Lord.
07:56But we shall praise the Lord, now and for evermore.
07:58Praise the Lord.
08:00Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
08:04as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
08:09world without end.
08:10Amen.
08:18The prophet Hosea, chapter 7.
08:22When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
08:28also the wickedness of Samaria.
08:31For they commit falsehood when the thief enters in,
08:34and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
08:38They don't consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness.
08:44And now their own deeds have engulfed them.
08:47They are before my face,
08:49that they make the king glad with their wickedness,
08:51and the princes with their lies.
08:54They are all adulterous.
08:57They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring,
09:02from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
09:06On the day of our king,
09:08the princes make themselves sick with the heat of wine.
09:11He joined his hand with the mockers,
09:14for they have prepared their heart like an oven while they lie in wait.
09:20Their baker sleeps all night.
09:22In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
09:26They are all as hot as an oven,
09:28and devour their judges.
09:31All their kings have fallen.
09:33There is not one of them who calls upon me.
09:37Ephraim mixes himself among the nations.
09:41Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
09:45Strangers have devoured his strength,
09:47and he doesn't realise it.
09:49Indeed, grey hairs are here and there on him,
09:52but he doesn't realise it.
09:55The pride of Israel testifies to his face,
10:00and yet they haven't returned to Yahweh their God,
10:03nor sought him for all this.
10:06Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove,
10:10without understanding.
10:12They call to Egypt,
10:14they call to Assyria,
10:15and when they go I will spread my net on them.
10:18I will bring them down like the birds of the sky.
10:22I will chastise them,
10:23as their congregation has heard.
10:26Woe to them,
10:27for they have wandered from me.
10:30Destruction to them,
10:31for they have trespassed against me.
10:34Though I would redeem them,
10:36yet they have spoken lies against me.
10:40They haven't cried to me with their heart,
10:43but they howl on their beds.
10:45They assemble themselves for grain and new wine.
10:49They turn away from me.
10:52Though I have taught and strengthened their arms,
10:55yet they plot evil against me.
10:58They return,
11:00but not to the Most High.
11:01They are like a faulty bow.
11:04Their princes will fall by the sword,
11:06for the rage of their tongue.
11:09This will be their derision
11:10in the land of Egypt.
11:13This is the word of the Lord.
11:16Thanks be to God.
11:29Mary said,
11:31My soul exalts the Lord,
11:33and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Saviour,
11:38because He has looked upon the humble state of His servant.
11:44For from now on all generations will call me blessed,
11:48because He who is mighty has done great things for me,
11:52and holy is His name.
11:54From generation to generation He is merciful to those who fear Him.
12:01He has demonstrated power with His arm.
12:05He has scattered those whose pride wells up
12:07from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
12:11He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,
12:13and has lifted up those of lowly position.
12:17He has filled the hungry with good things,
12:20and has sent the rich away empty.
12:24He has helped His servant Israel,
12:26remembering His mercy,
12:28as He promised to our ancestors,
12:31to Abraham,
12:33and to his descendants for ever.
12:36Glory be to the Father,
12:38and to the Son,
12:39and to the Holy Spirit,
12:41as it was in the beginning,
12:43is now,
12:44and ever shall be,
12:46world without end.
12:48Amen.
12:53The Gospel according to St. Luke,
12:56Chapter 1
12:59Now in the sixth month,
13:01the angel Gabriel was sent from God
13:03to a town in Galilee,
13:05named Nazareth,
13:07to a virgin who was to be married,
13:09to a man named Joseph,
13:11of the family of David.
13:12And the name of the virgin was Mary.
13:16The angel came in to her and said,
13:20Peace be with you,
13:21to whom special grace has been given.
13:25The Lord is with you.
13:29She was greatly troubled at his words
13:31and said to herself,
13:33What may be the purpose of these words?
13:37So the angel said to her,
13:40Do not fear,
13:42Mary,
13:42for you have God's approval.
13:45For see,
13:46you will give birth to a son,
13:47and his name will be Jesus.
13:51His name will be great,
13:53and will be called the Son of the Most High.
13:57The Lord God will give him the kingdom of David,
13:59his father.
14:01He will have rule over the house of Jacob forever,
14:05and of his kingdom there will be no end.
14:10Mary said to the angel,
14:13How may this be?
14:15Because I have no knowledge of a man.
14:19The angel said to her,
14:21The Holy Spirit will come upon you,
14:23and the power of the Most High will rest on you,
14:27so that that which will come to birth
14:29will be named Holy,
14:31the Son of God.
14:33Even now Elizabeth,
14:34who is of your family,
14:36is to be a mother,
14:38even though she is old.
14:41This is the sixth month with her,
14:43who is without children.
14:46For there is nothing that God is not able to do.
14:52Mary said,
14:53I am the servant of the Lord.
14:57May it be to me as you say.
15:01The angel went away.
15:05In those days Mary got up and went hurriedly into the hill country,
15:09to a town of Judah,
15:11and entered Zechariah's house,
15:13and greeted Elizabeth.
15:16When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting,
15:19the baby leapt in her womb,
15:21and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
15:25exclaiming with a loud voice,
15:28Blessed are you among women.
15:30Blessed is the child in your womb.
15:33Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come and visit me?
15:39For the instant the sound of your blessing reached my ears,
15:43the baby in my womb leapt with joy.
15:48Blessed is she who believed that what was spoken to her by the Lord would be fulfilled.
15:56Mary replied,
15:59My soul exalts the Lord.
16:01My spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Saviour,
16:05because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.
16:09For from now on all generations will call me blessed,
16:14because he who is mighty has done great things for me.
16:18Holy is his name.
16:21From generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.
16:27He has demonstrated power with his arm.
16:30He has scattered those whose pride wells up
16:33from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
16:37He has brought down the mighty from their thrones
16:40and has lifted up those of lowly position.
16:44He has filled the hungry with good things
16:46and has sent the rich away empty.
16:50He has helped his servant Israel,
16:54remembering his mercy as he promised to our ancestors,
16:58to Abraham and to his descendants forever.
17:02So Mary stayed with Elizabeth
17:05about three months
17:06and then returned to her home.
17:10This is the word of the Lord.
17:14Thanks be to God.
17:27Now according to your word, Sovereign Lord,
17:30permit your servant to depart in peace.
17:33For my eyes have seen your salvation
17:36that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
17:41a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
17:44a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
17:44and for glory to your people Israel.
17:49Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
17:53as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
17:58world without end.
18:00Amen.
18:05I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
18:09maker of heaven and earth,
18:10and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
18:14who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
18:17born of the Virgin Mary,
18:19suffered unto Pontius Pilate,
18:23was crucified, dead, and buried.
18:26He descended into hell.
18:28On the third day he rose again from the dead.
18:32He ascended into heaven,
18:34and is sitting at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
18:39From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
18:44I believe in the Holy Spirit,
18:46the holy Catholic Church,
18:48the communion of saints,
18:49the forgiveness of sins,
18:52the resurrection of the body,
18:54and the life everlasting.
18:57Amen.
19:02The Lord be with you,
19:05and with your spirit.
19:09Let us pray.
19:13Lord, have mercy upon us.
19:16Christ, have mercy upon us.
19:20Lord, have mercy upon us.
19:27Our Father, who is in heaven,
19:30holy is your name.
19:33May your kingdom come.
19:35May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
19:40Give us this day our daily bread.
19:43Forgive us our trespasses,
19:45as we forgive those who trespass against us.
19:49Lead us not into temptation,
19:52but deliver us from evil.
19:54For yours is the kingdom,
19:57for yours is the kingdom,
19:58the power and the glory,
20:00for ever and ever.
20:02Amen.
20:07O Lord, show your mercy upon us,
20:10and grant us your salvation.
20:16protect and guide those in authority over us,
20:21and mercifully hear us when we call upon you.
20:27Endue your ministers with righteousness,
20:30and make your chosen people joyful.
20:35O Lord, save your people,
20:39and bless your inheritance.
20:43Give peace in our time, O Lord,
20:47because there is none other who fights for us,
20:50but only you, O God.
20:53O God, make clean our hearts within us,
20:58and take not your Holy Spirit from us.
21:09Let us pray.
21:12Lord, we beseech you,
21:15let your continual pity cleanse and defend your church,
21:19because it cannot continue in safety without your help.
21:24Reserve it evermore by your help and goodness,
21:28through Jesus Christ our Lord.
21:30Amen.
21:39O God, from whom all holy desires,
21:43all good counsels, and all just works proceed,
21:47give to your servants that peace which the world cannot give,
21:52that our hearts may be set to obey your commandments,
21:55and also that, by you,
21:59we, being defended from the fear of our enemies,
22:03may pass our time in rest and quietness,
22:07through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
22:10Amen.
22:16Lighten our darkness, we beseech you, O Lord,
22:19and by your great mercy defend us all
22:22from perils and dangers of this night.
22:26For the love of your only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
22:34Almighty God, who has given us grace at this time with one accord,
22:39to make our common supplications to you,
22:43and promises that when two or three are gathered together in your name,
22:47you will grant their requests.
22:51Fulfill now, O Lord,
22:53the desires and petitions of your servants,
22:56as may be most beneficial for them,
23:00granting us in this world knowledge of your truth,
23:04and in the world to come, life everlasting.
23:09Amen.
23:12May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
23:14and the love of God,
23:16and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
23:18be with us all evermore.
23:21Amen.
