00:21When a wicked person turns from the wickedness he has committed, and does what is just and
00:28right, he will preserve his life. For I am aware of my rebellious acts, I am forever conscious
00:40of my sin. Hide your face from my sins, wipe away all my guilt.
00:51The sacrifices God desires are a humble spirit, O God, a humble and repentant heart you will
01:01not reject.
01:05Dearly beloved brothers and sisters, the scripture moves us in sundry places to acknowledge and
01:13confess our many sins and wickedness. We should not justify nor hide them before the face of
01:20Almighty God our Heavenly Father, but confess them with a humble, lowly, penitent and obedient
01:27heart, to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy.
01:39Although we ought always to humbly acknowledge our sins before God, we should do this particularly
01:46when we assemble and meet together, to give thanks for the great benefits we have received
01:51at his hands, to give him most worthy praise, to hear his most holy word, and to ask those
01:59things which are truly necessary, as well for the body as the soul.
02:07Therefore I pray and ask you, who are present here today, to accompany me with a pure heart
02:13and humble voice, to the throne of the heavenly grace, as we say together.
02:20Father, Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like
02:26lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended
02:34against your holy laws. We have failed to do those things which we ought to have done, and
02:41we have done things which we ought not to have done, and so there is no health in us.
02:49But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable sinners. Spare those, O God, who confess their
02:56faults. Restore those who are truly penchant, according to your promises declared to mankind
03:03in Christ Jesus our Lord. Grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live
03:13a godly, righteous and sober life, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
03:22Grant, we beseech you, merciful Lord, to your faithful people, pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed
03:30from all their sins from all their sins, and serve you with a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
03:37Amen.
03:42Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, in earth as
03:51it is in heaven.
03:53Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
04:03Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
04:09For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
04:19O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing out your praise.
04:27O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us.
04:37Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
04:45is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
04:52Praise the Lord. The Lord's name be praised.
05:01Psalm 119
05:03Your hands made me and formed me. Give me understanding, so that I might learn your commands.
05:10Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, for I find hope in your word.
05:17I know, Lord, that your regulations are just. You disciplined me because of your faithful devotion to me.
05:26May your loyal love console me, as you promised your servant.
05:31May I experience your compassion, so I might live, for I find delight in your law.
05:40May the arrogant be humiliated, for they have slandered me, but I meditate on your precepts.
05:48May your loyal followers turn to me, those who know your rules.
05:55May I be fully committed to your statutes, so that I might not be ashamed.
06:01I desperately long for your deliverance. I find hope in your word.
06:07My eyes grow tired as I wait for your promise to be fulfilled.
06:11I say, when will you comfort me? For I am like a wineskin dried up in smoke.
06:19I do not forget your statutes.
06:23How long must your servant endure this? When will you judge those who pursue me?
06:29The arrogant dig pits to trap me, which violate your law.
06:35All your commands are reliable. I am pursued without reason. Help me.
06:42They have almost destroyed me here on the earth, but I do not reject your precepts.
06:50Revive me with your loyal love, that I might keep the rules you have revealed.
06:56O Lord, your instructions endure. They stand secure in heaven.
07:02You demonstrate your faithfulness to all generations.
07:06You established the earth, and it stood firm.
07:09Today they stand firm by your decrees, for all things are your servants.
07:16If I had not found encouragement in your law, I would have died in my sorrow.
07:22I will never forget your precepts, for by them you have revived me.
07:29I belong to you. Deliver me, for I seek your precepts.
07:35The wicked prepare to kill me, and yet I concentrate on your rules.
07:41I realize that everything has its limits, but your commands are full comprehension.
07:49O how I love your law! All day long I meditate on it.
07:56Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for I am always aware of them.
08:03I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your rules.
08:09I am more discerning than those older than I, for I observe your precepts.
08:15I stay away from every evil path, so that I might keep your instructions.
08:23I do not turn aside from your regulations, for you teach me.
08:28Your words are sweeter in my mouth than honey.
08:32Your precepts give me discernment, therefore I hate all deceitful actions.
08:40Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
08:44as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
08:51Amen.
09:00The prophet Hosea chapter 11
09:04When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
09:11They called to them, and so they went from them.
09:15They sacrificed to the Baal, burning incense to engraved images.
09:21And yet I taught Ephraim to walk.
09:24I took them by his arms.
09:27But they did not know that I healed them.
09:30I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love.
09:35And I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks.
09:40I bent down to him, and I fed him.
09:45They won't return into the land of Egypt.
09:48But the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
09:55The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates,
10:00putting an end to their plans.
10:04My people are determined to turn from me.
10:08Though they call to the Most High, suddenly he will not exalt them.
10:14How can I give you up, Ephraim?
10:17How can I hand you over, Israel?
10:20How can I make you like Admar?
10:23How can I make you like Zebulun?
10:27My heart is turned within me.
10:30My compassion is aroused.
10:33I will not execute the fierceness of my anger.
10:37I will not return and destroy Ephraim.
10:41For I am God, and not man.
10:43The Holy One among you, and I will not come in wrath.
10:48They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion.
10:52For he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
10:57They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt.
11:01Like a dove out of the land of Assyria.
11:04And I will settle them in their houses, says Yahweh.
11:10Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit.
11:16Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
11:23This is the word of the Lord.
11:26Thanks be to God.
11:39Mary said,
11:41My soul exalts the Lord,
11:43and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Saviour,
11:48because He has looked upon the humble state of His servant.
11:53For from now on all generations will call me blessed,
11:58because He who is mighty has done great things for me,
12:02and holy is His name.
12:04From generation to generation He is merciful to those who fear Him.
12:11He has demonstrated power with His arm.
12:14He has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
12:20He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,
12:23and has lifted up those of lowly position.
12:27He has filled the hungry with good things,
12:30and has sent the rich away empty.
12:34He has helped His servant Israel,
12:36remembering His mercy,
12:38as He promised to our ancestors,
12:41to Abraham,
12:42and to his descendants for ever.
12:46Glory be to the Father,
12:48and to the Son,
12:49and to the Holy Spirit,
12:51as it was in the beginning,
12:53is now,
12:54and ever shall be,
12:56world without end.
12:58Amen.
13:11Now it came to pass in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus,
13:17that there would be a numbering of all the world.
13:22This was the first numbering which was made when Coralinius was ruler of Syria.
13:29All men went to be numbered except everyone to his own town.
13:35So Joseph went up from Galilee,
13:37out from the town of Nazareth,
13:39into Judea,
13:40to Bethlehem,
13:42the town of David,
13:43because he was of the house and family of David,
13:46to be put on the list with Mary,
13:49his future wife,
13:50who was about to become a mother.
13:54And while they were there,
13:56the time came for her to give birth,
13:57and she had her first son.
14:01Folding him in linen,
14:03she put him there to rest in the place where the cattle had their food,
14:07because there was no room for them in the house.
14:12At the same time,
14:14in the country,
14:15there were keepers of sheep in the fields,
14:17watching over their flock that night.
14:20And the angel of the Lord came to them,
14:22and the glory of the Lord shone around them.
14:26Fear came upon them,
14:27but the angel said,
14:29Do not be afraid,
14:30for truly I give you good news of great joy,
14:33which will be for all the people.
14:36For on this day in the town of David,
14:38a Saviour has come to be born,
14:41who is Christ the Lord.
14:44This is the sign that you will see,
14:48a young child folded in linen,
14:51in the place where the cattle had their food.
14:55And suddenly,
14:56there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven,
15:00giving praise to God and singing,
15:03Glory to God in the highest,
15:06and on the earth,
15:07peace among men with whom he is well pleased.
15:13When the angels had gone away from them into heaven,
15:17the keepers of the sheep said one to another,
15:20Let us go now to Bethlehem,
15:23and see this thing which has come about,
15:26which the Lord has made clear to us.
15:29And they went quickly,
15:31and found Mary,
15:32Joseph,
15:32and the child,
15:33in the place where the cattle had their food.
15:37And when they saw it,
15:38they gave them an account of the things
15:40which had been said to them about the child.
15:44All those to whose ears it came
15:46were full of wonder
15:48at the things said by the keepers of the sheep.
15:53Mary kept all these words in her heart
15:56and gave much thought to them.
15:59Then the keepers of the sheep
16:01went back to their fields,
16:03giving glory and praise to God
16:05for all the things that had come to their ears
16:08and which they had seen,
16:11as had been told to them.
16:16This is the word of the Lord.
16:19Thanks be to God.
16:31Now according to your word,
16:34Sovereign Lord,
16:35permit your servant to depart in peace,
16:38for my eyes have seen your salvation
16:41that you have prepared
16:43in the presence of all peoples,
16:46a light for revelation to the Gentiles
16:48and for glory to your people Israel.
16:54Glory be to the Father
16:55and to the Son
16:56and to the Holy Spirit,
16:58as it was in the beginning,
17:00is now and ever shall be,
17:02world without end.
17:04Amen.
17:09I believe in God,
17:11the Father Almighty,
17:13maker of heaven and earth,
17:15and in Jesus Christ,
17:16his only Son,
17:17our Lord,
17:19who was conceived
17:20by the Holy Spirit,
17:22born of the Virgin Mary,
17:24suffered unto Pontius Pilate,
17:27who was crucified,
17:29dead and buried,
17:31he descended into hell.
17:33On the third day,
17:34he rose again from the dead.
17:37He ascended into heaven
17:38and is sitting at the right hand of God,
17:41the Father Almighty.
17:43From there,
17:44he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
17:48I believe in the Holy Spirit,
17:50the Holy Catholic Church,
17:52the communion of saints,
17:54the forgiveness of sins,
17:56the resurrection of the body
17:58and the life everlasting.
18:01Amen.
18:07The Lord be with you
18:09and with your spirit.
18:13Let us pray.
18:17Lord, have mercy upon us.
18:20Christ, have mercy upon us.
18:25Lord, have mercy upon us.
18:32Our Father,
18:33who is in heaven,
18:35holy is your name.
18:38May your kingdom come.
18:40May your will be done
18:42on earth as it is in heaven.
18:45Give us this day our daily bread.
18:47Forgive us our trespasses,
18:49as we forgive those
18:51who trespass against us.
18:54Lead us not into temptation,
18:56but deliver us from evil.
18:59For yours is the kingdom,
19:02the power and the glory,
19:04for ever and ever.
19:06Amen.
19:11O Lord, show your mercy upon us
19:14and grant us your salvation.
19:20Protect and guide those
19:22in authority over us
19:25and mercifully hear us
19:27when we call upon you.
19:31Endue your ministers
19:32with righteousness
19:34and make your chosen people joyful.
19:39O Lord, save your people
19:43and bless your inheritance.
19:47Give peace in our time,
19:50O Lord,
19:51because there is none other
19:53who fights for us
19:54but only you, O God.

20:05from us.
20:14Let us pray.
20:17Lord, we beseech you,
20:19let your continual pity
20:21cleanse and defend your church,
20:23because it cannot continue
20:25in safety without your help.

20:30by your help and goodness.

20:34our Lord.

20:54which the world cannot give,
20:56that our hearts
20:58may be set to obey
20:59your commandments,
21:00and also that,
21:02by you,
21:03we, being defended
21:05from the fear of our enemies,
21:07may pass our time
21:09in rest and quietness.
21:11Through the merits
21:12of Jesus Christ,
21:14our Saviour.
21:15Amen.
21:20Lighten our darkness,
21:21we beseech you,
21:23O Lord,
21:23and by your great mercy
21:25defend us all
21:26from perils and dangers
21:28of this night.
