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 penitent, 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
03:29be cleansed from all their sins, and serve you with a quiet mind. Through Jesus Christ our
03:36Lord. Amen.
03:42Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done in
03:51earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses.
03:58As we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us
04:07from evil. For yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever 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.
04:43As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
04:52Praise the Lord. The Lord's name be praised.
05:01Psalm 126
05:04When the Lord restored the well-being of Zion, we thought we were dreaming. At that time,
05:10we laughed loudly and shouted for joy. At that time, the nation said, The Lord has accomplished
05:17great things for these people. The Lord did indeed accomplish great things for us. We were happy.
05:25O Lord, restore our well-being, just as the streams in the arid south are replenished.
05:33Those who shed tears as they plant will shout for joy when they reap the harvest.
05:39The one who weeps as he walks along, carrying his bag of seed, will certainly come in with
05:45a shout of joy, carrying his sheaves of grain.
05:50Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
05:55As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
06:06Psalm 127
06:10If the Lord does not build a house, then those who build it work in vain.
06:16If the Lord does not guard a city, then the watchman stands guard in vain.
06:24It is vain for you to rise early, come home late, and work so hard for your food.
06:30Yes, he provides for those whom he loves, even when they sleep.
06:37Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord. The fruit of the rune is a reward.
06:45Sons born during one's youth are like arrows in a warrior's hand.
06:50How blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them.
06:54He will not be put to shame when they confront enemies at the city gate.
06:59Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
07:04As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
07:11Amen.
07:15Psalm 128
07:18How blessed is every one of the Lord's loyal followers, each one who keeps his commands.
07:25You will eat what you worked so hard to grow.
07:29You will be blessed and secure.
07:32Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the inner rooms of your house,
07:37your children like olive branches as they sit around your table.
07:43Yes, indeed, the man who fears the Lord will be blessed in this way.
07:49May the Lord bless you from Zion, that you might see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life,
07:56and that you might see your grandchildren.
07:59May Israel experience peace.
08:04Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
08:08as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
08:15Amen.
08:20Psalm 129
08:23Since my youth they have often attacked me, let Israel say.
08:28Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me.
08:34The plowers ploughed my back, they made their furrows long.
08:38The Lord is just, he cut the ropes of the wicked.
08:42May all who hate Zion be humiliated and turned back.
08:48May they be like the grass on the rooftops, which withers before one can even pull it up,
08:54which cannot fill the reaper's hand or the lap of the one who gathers the grain.
09:01Those who pass by will not say,
09:04May you experience the Lord's blessing.
09:08We pronounce a blessing on you, in the name of the Lord.
09:14Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
09:18as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
09:23world without end.
09:25Amen.
09:29Psalm 130
09:32From the deep water I cry out to you, O Lord.
09:37O Lord, listen to me, pay attention to my plea for mercy.
09:45If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord,
09:49who could stand before you?
09:52But you are willing to forgive, so that you might be honoured.
09:57I rely on the Lord, I rely on him with my whole being.
10:01I wait for his assuring word.
10:05I yearn for the Lord more than watchmen do for the morning.
10:09Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning.
10:14O Israel, hope in the Lord, for the Lord exhibits loyal love,
10:19and is more than willing to deliver.
10:22He will deliver Israel from all their sins.
10:26Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
10:31as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
10:36world without end.
10:38Amen.
10:43Psalm 131
10:46O Lord, my heart is not proud,
10:49nor do I have a haughty look.
10:52I do not have great aspirations,
10:55or concern myself with things that are beyond me.
10:59Indeed, I have calmed and quieted myself,
11:02like a weaned child with its mother.
11:05I am content, like a young child.
11:10Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
11:13as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
11:18world without end.
11:20Amen.
11:28The Prophet Joel, Chapter 2
11:32Blow the trumpet in Zion,
11:34sound an alarm on my holy mountain.
11:38Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
11:41for the day of Yahweh comes,
11:43as it is close at hand.
11:46A day of darkness, gloominess,
11:49a day of clouds and thick darkness.
11:53As the dawn's spreading on the mentions,
11:56a great and strong people.
11:58There has never been the like,
12:00neither will there be after them,
12:02even to the years of many generations.
12:06A fire devours before them,
12:09and behind them a flame burns.
12:40The land is, as the Garden of Eden,
12:41set in battle array.
12:44At their presence, the people are in anguish.
12:47Their faces have grown pale.
12:50They run like mighty men,
12:52they climb the wall like warriors.
12:53They each march in line,
12:56and they don't swerve off course.
12:59Neither does one jostle another.
13:01They march, every one in his path.
13:04They burst through the defences,
13:06and they don't break ranks.
13:09They rush on the city.
13:11They run on the wall.
13:12They climb up into the houses.
13:15They enter in the windows like thieves.
13:18The earth quakes before them.
13:21The heavens tremble.
13:22The sun and the moon are darkened,
13:24and the stars withdraw their shining.
13:27Yahweh thunders his voice before his army,
13:30for his forces are very great.
13:35For he is strong,
13:36who obeys his command.
13:38For the day of Yahweh is great and awesome,
13:41and who can endure it?
13:44Yet even now, says Yahweh,
13:47turn to me with all your hearts,
13:49and with fasting,
13:50and with weeping,
13:51and with mourning.
13:53Tear your hearts,
13:54and not your garments,
13:56and turn to Yahweh your God.
13:58For he is gracious and merciful,
14:02slow to anger,
14:03and abundant in loving kindness,
14:05and relents from sending calamity.
14:09Who knows?
14:10He may turn and relent,
14:12and leave a blessing behind him,
14:15even a meal offering,
14:17and a drink offering,
14:19to Yahweh your God.
14:22This is the word of the Lord.
14:24Thanks be to God.
14:37Mary said,
14:39My soul exalts the Lord,
14:41and my spirit has begun to rejoice
14:44in God my Saviour,
14:46because he has looked upon the humble state
14:49of his servant.
14:51For from now on,
14:53all generations will call me blessed,
14:56because he who is mighty
14:57has done great things for me,
15:00and holy is his name.
15:02From generation to generation,
15:05he is merciful to those who fear him.
15:09He has demonstrated power with his arm.
15:12He has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
15:18He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,
15:21and has lifted up those of lowly position.
15:25He has filled the hungry with good things,
15:28and has sent the rich away empty.
15:31He has helped his servant Israel,
15:34remembering his mercy,
15:36as he promised to our ancestors,
15:38to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.
15:44Glory be to the Father,
15:46and to the Son,
15:47and to the Holy Spirit,
15:48as it was in the beginning,
15:51is now and ever shall be,
15:53world without end.
15:55Amen.
16:03The Gospel according to St. Luke,
16:05Chapter 3
16:08Now in the fifteenth year of the rule of Tiberius Caesar,
16:12Pontius Pilate being the ruler of Judea,
16:15and Herod being king of Galilee,
16:18his brother Philip,
16:21in the country of Etiorea and Trachonetes,
16:24and Lysanias king of Abilene,
16:27when Annas and Caiaphas were high priests,
16:31the word of the Lord came to John,
16:33the son of Zechariah,
16:35in the wasteland.
16:37He came into the country around the Jordan,
16:39preaching baptism
16:41as a sign of forgiveness of sin
16:43for those whose hearts were changed.
16:47As it says in the book of the words of Prophet Isaiah,
16:51the voice of one crying in the wastelands,
16:55make ready the way of the Lord,
16:57make his road straight.
16:59Every valley will be lifted up,
17:01and the mountains and the hills made low.
17:04The twisted will be made straight,
17:07and the rough ways smooth.
17:10All flesh will see the salvation of God.
17:15So he said to the people
17:17who went out to him for baptism,
17:20You offspring of snakes,
17:21at whose word are you going in flight
17:24from the wrath to come?
17:26Make clear by your acts
17:28that your hearts have been changed.
17:30Do not say to yourselves,
17:32We have Abraham for our father.
17:35For I say to you that God is able
17:37to make from these stones
17:38the children of Abraham.
17:42Even now the axe is being put
17:44to the root of the trees,
17:46and every tree which does not have good fruit
17:49will be cut down
17:50and put into the fire.
17:55The people put questions to him,
17:57saying,
17:57What should we do?
18:00He answered and said to them,
18:03He who has two coats,
18:04let him give one to the one
18:06who does not even have one,
18:08and he who has food,
18:10let him do the same.
18:13Then tax farmers came to him
18:15for baptism and asked him,
18:18Master, what do we have to do?
18:25John said to them,
18:27Do not attempt to get more money
18:29than what is right.
18:32Men of the army put questions to him,
18:34saying,
18:35And what about us?
18:36What should we do?
18:39And John said to them,
18:40Do not do violent acts to any man.
18:43Do not take anything without right,
18:46and let your payment be enough for you.
18:50While the people were waiting,
18:52and all the people were questioning
18:53in their hearts,
18:55begged John,
18:56if he was the Christ or not,
18:58John made answer,
18:59saying to them,
19:00Truly I give you baptism with water,
19:03but one is coming who is greater than I,
19:06whose shoes I am not good enough
19:08even to undo.
19:11He will give you baptism
19:12with the Holy Spirit
19:13and with fire,
19:15in whose hand
19:16is the instrument
19:17with which he will make clean his grain.
19:21He will put the good grain in his store,
19:24but the waste
19:25will be burnt in the fire,
19:28which will never be put out.
19:31So comforting them with these and other words,
19:34he gave good news to the people.
19:39But Herod the king,
19:41because John had protested
19:42on account of Herodias,
19:44his brother's wife,
19:45and other evil things
19:47which Herod had done,
19:50did this most evil thing of all,
19:52having John put in prison.
19:56And he came about
19:57that when all the people
19:58had been given baptism,
20:00Jesus,
20:00having had baptism with them,
20:02was in prayer.
20:04When the heavens opened
20:06and the Holy Spirit came down
20:07in the form of a dove,
20:09and a voice came down
20:10from heaven saying,
20:12You are my dearly beloved son
20:14with whom I am well pleased.
20:18Jesus at this time
20:20was about thirty years old,
20:23being the son,
20:24as it seemed,
20:25of Joseph,
20:27the son of Haley.
20:29This is the word of the Lord.
20:33Thanks be to God.
20:44Now according to your word,
20:46Sovereign Lord,
20:48permit your servant
20:49to depart in peace.
20:51For my eyes have seen
20:53your salvation
20:54that you have prepared
20:55in the presence of all peoples.
20:59A light for revelation
21:00to the Gentiles
21:01and for glory
21:03to your people Israel.
21:07Glory be to the Father
21:08and to the Son
21:09and to the Holy Spirit,
21:11as it was in the beginning,
21:13is now and ever shall be,
21:15world without end.
21:17Amen.
21:22I believe in God,
21:24the Father Almighty,
21:26maker of heaven and earth,
21:28and in Jesus Christ,
21:29his only Son,
21:30our Lord,
21:32who was conceived
21:33by the Holy Spirit,
21:35born of the Virgin Mary,
21:37suffered unto Pontius Pilate,
21:40was crucified,
21:42dead,
21:42and buried.
21:43He descended into hell.
21:45On the third day
21:47he rose again
21:48from the dead.
21:49He ascended into heaven
21:51and is sitting
21:53at the right hand
21:54of God,
21:54the Father Almighty.
21:56From there he shall come
21:58to judge the living
21:59and the dead.
22:01I believe in the Holy Spirit,
22:03the Holy Catholic Church,
22:05the communion of saints,
22:07the forgiveness of sins,
22:09the resurrection of the body,
22:11and the life everlasting.
22:14Amen.
22:19The Lord be with you
22:22and with your spirit.
22:26Let us pray.
22:30Lord, have mercy upon us.
22:33Christ, have mercy upon us.
22:38Lord, have mercy upon us.
22:44Our Father,
22:46who is in heaven,
22:48holy is your name.
22:50May your kingdom come.
22:53May your will be done
22:54on earth as it is in heaven.
22:57Give us this day
22:59our daily bread.
23:00Forgive us our trespasses,
23:02as we forgive those
23:04who trespass against us.
23:07Lead us not into temptation,
23:09but deliver us from evil.
23:12For yours is the kingdom,
23:15the power and the glory,
23:17for ever and ever.
23:19Amen.
23:24O Lord, show your mercy upon us
23:27and grant us
23:29your salvation.
23:33Protect and guide
23:35those in authority over us
23:38and mercifully hear us
23:40when we call upon you.
23:44Endue your ministers
23:45with righteousness
23:47and make your chosen people
23:50joyful.
23:52O Lord, save your people
23:56and bless your inheritance.
24:00Give peace in our time,
24:03O Lord,
24:04because there is none other
24:06who fights for us
24:07but only you,
24:08O God.
24:11O God, make clean
24:12our hearts within us
24:15and take not
24:17your Holy Spirit
24:18from us.
24:26Let us pray.
24:29O Lord, we pray
24:31that your grace
24:31may always be present
24:34and follow us,
24:35making us continually
24:37given to all good works
24:39through Jesus Christ
24:41our Lord.
24:42Amen.
24:50O God,
24:52from whom all holy desires,
24:55all good counsels
24:56and all just works
24:57proceed,
24:58give to your servants
25:00that peace
25:01which the world
25:02cannot give,
25:03that our hearts
25:05may be set to obey
25:06your commandments
25:07and also that,
25:09by you,
25:10we, being defended
25:12from the fear
25:13of our enemies,
25:14may pass our time
25:16in rest and quietness.
25:18Through the merits
25:19of Jesus Christ
25:21our Saviour.
25:22Amen.
25:27Lighten our darkness
25:29we beseech you,
25:30O Lord,
25:30and by your great mercy
25:32defend us all
25:33from perils
25:35and dangers
25:36of this night.
25:37for the love
25:38of your only Son,
25:40our Saviour,
25:41Jesus Christ.
25:42Amen.
25:46Almighty God,
25:47who has given us grace
25:49at this time
25:50with one accord
25:51to make our common
25:52supplications
25:53to you
25:54and promises
25:55that when two or three
25:57are gathered together
25:58in your name,
25:59you will grant
26:00their requests.
26:03Fulfill now,
26:04O Lord,
26:04the desires
26:06and petitions
26:07of your servants
26:08as may be
26:09most beneficial
26:10for them,
26:12granting us
26:13in this world
26:14knowledge of your truth
26:15and in the world
26:17to come
26:18life everlasting.
26:20Amen.
26:23With the grace
26:24of our Lord Jesus Christ
26:26and the love of God
26:27and the fellowship
26:28of the Holy Spirit,
26:29be with us all
26:31evermore.
26:33Amen.
