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.
03:14Amen.
03:18Grant, we beseech you, merciful Lord, to your faithful people, pardon and peace,
03:24that they may be cleansed from all their sins, and serve you with a quiet mind, through Jesus Christ our
03:32Lord.
03:33Amen.
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,
04:43world without end.
04:45Amen.
04:48Praise the Lord.
04:50The Lord's name be praised.
04:56Psalm 73
05:00Certainly God is good to Israel, and to those whose motives are pure.
05:06But as for me, my feet almost slipped.
05:09My feet almost slid out from under me.
05:12For I envied those who are proud, as I observe the prosperity of the wicked.
05:19For they suffer no pain.
05:21Their bodies are strong and well fed.
05:24They are immune to the common trouble to men.
05:27They do not suffer as other men do.
05:31Arrogance is their necklace, and violence covers them like clothing.
05:36Their prosperity causes them to do wrong, and their thoughts are sinful.
05:43They mock and say evil things.
05:46They proudly threaten violence.
05:49They speak as if they rule in heaven, and lay claim to the earth.
05:55Therefore they have more than enough food to eat, and even suck up the water of the sea.
06:01They say,
06:02How does God know what we do?
06:05Is the Most High aware of what goes on?
06:10Take a good look.
06:12This is what the wicked are like.
06:15Those who always have it so easy, and get richer and richer.
06:20I concluded,
06:21Surely in vain I have kept my motives pure, and maintained a pure lifestyle.
06:29I suffer all day long, and I am punished every morning.
06:35If I had publicized these thoughts, I would have betrayed your people.
06:40And when I tried to make sense of this, it was troubling to me.
06:46Then I entered the precincts of God's temple, and I understood the destiny of the wicked.
06:55Surely you put them in slippery places, and you bring them down to ruin.
07:01How desolate they become in a mere moment.
07:05Terrifying judgments make their demise complete.
07:10They are like a dream, after one wakes up.
07:13O Lord, when you awake, you will despise them.
07:18Yes, my spirit was bitter, and my insides felt a sharp pain.
07:24I was ignorant, and lacked insight.
07:27I was as senseless as an animal before you.
07:32But I am continually with you.
07:34You hold my right hand.
07:36You guide me by your wise advice, and then you will lead me to a position of honor.
07:43Whom do I have in heaven but you?
07:45I desire no one but you on earth.
07:50My flesh and my heart may grow weak,
07:53but God always protects my heart and gives me stability.
07:58Yes, look, those far from you die.
08:01You destroy everyone who is unfaithful to you.
08:06But as for me, God's presence is all I need.
08:10I have made the Sovereign Lord my shelter,
08:12as I declare all the things you have done.
08:17Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
08:21as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
08:25world without end.
08:27Amen.
08:31Psalm 74
08:34Why, O God, have you permanently rejected us?
08:38Why does your anger burn against the sheep of your pasture?
08:46Remember your people, whom you acquired in ancient times,
08:50whom you rescued, so that they could be your very own nation,
08:54as well as Mount Zion, where you dwell.
08:58Hurry to the permanent ruins,
09:00and to all the damage the enemy has done to the temple.
09:05Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary.
09:08They set up their battle flags.
09:11They invade like lumberjacks, swinging their axes in a thick forest.
09:17And now they are tearing down all its engravings with axes and crowbars.
09:23They set your sanctuary on fire.
09:26They desecrate your dwelling place by knocking it to the ground.
09:32They say to themselves, we will oppress all of them.
09:37They burn down all the places where people worship God in the land.
09:43We do not see any signs of God's presence.
09:46There are no longer any prophets,
09:48and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.
09:53How long, O God, will the adversary hurl insults?
09:57Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
10:01Why do you remain inactive, intervene and destroy him?
10:08But God has been my King from ancient times,
10:12performing acts of deliverance on the earth.
10:16You destroyed the sea by your strength.
10:19You shattered the heads of the sea monster in the water.
10:24You crushed the heads of the Leviathan.
10:26You fed him to the people who live along the coast.
10:30You broke open the spring and the stream.
10:33You dried up perpetually flowing rivers.
10:38You established the cycle of day and night.
10:41You put the moon and the sun in place.
10:45You set up all the boundaries of the earth.
10:48You created the cycle of summer and winter.
10:52Remember how the enemy hurls insults, O Lord,
10:56and how a foolish nation blasphemes your name.
11:01Do not hand the life of your dove over to a wild animal.
11:06Do not continue to disregard the lives of your oppressed people.
11:12Remember your covenant promises,
11:14for the dark regions of the earth are full of places where violence rules.
11:20Do not let the afflicted be turned back in shame.
11:25Let the oppressed and the poor praise your name.
11:29Rise up, O God, defend your honor.
11:32Remember how fools insult you all day long.
11:36Do not disregard what your enemies say,
11:40or the unceasing shouts of those who defy you.
11:45Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
11:49as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
11:53world without end.
11:55Amen.
12:02The Book of Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 37.
12:08Let your soul beware of a counsellor,
12:11and know you before what is in his interest.
12:15For he will take counsel for himself,
12:18lest he cast the lot upon you and say,
12:21your way is good,
12:23and he will stand next to you to see what will happen to you.
12:29Take no counsel from one who looks questioning at you.
12:34Hide your counsel from any who are jealous of you.
12:38Do not take counsel from a woman about her rival,
12:42neither with a coward about war,
12:44a merchant about exchange,
12:47a buyer about selling,
12:49nor with an envious man about thankfulness,
12:52an unmerciful man about kindliness,
12:56a sluggard about work,
12:58or with a hireling in your house about finishing his work,
13:02even with an idle servant about much business.
13:06Do not trust any of these in any matter of advice.
13:11Rather, be continually with a godly man,
13:14who you shall have known to be a keeper of the commandments,
13:17who in his soul is as your own soul,
13:20and will grieve with you should disaster happen to you.
13:26Make the counsel of your heart to stand,
13:29for there is none more faithful to it than you.
13:34A man's soul is sometimes wont to bring him tidings,
13:37more than seven watchmen that sit on high on a watchtire.
13:42Above all this, entreat the Most High,
13:45that he may direct your way in the ways of truth.
13:49Let reason be the beginning of every work,
13:52and let counsel go before every action.
13:55As a token of the changing of the heart,
13:58four manners of things do rise up,
14:00good and evil, life and death.
14:02That which rules over them continually is the tongue.
14:08There is one that is shrewd and the instructor of many,
14:12and yet is unprofitable for the benefits of his own soul.
14:17This is the word of the Lord.
14:20Thanks be to God.
14:32Mary said,
14:34My soul exalts the Lord,
14:36and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Saviour,
14:41because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.
14:46For from now on all generations will call me blessed,
14:50because he who is mighty has done great things for me,
14:55and holy is his name.
14:57From generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.
15:04He has demonstrated power with his arm.
15:07He has scattered those whose pride wells up
15:10from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
15:13He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,
15:16and has lifted up those of lowly position.
15:20He has filled the hungry with good things,
15:23and has sent the rich away empty.
15:26He has helped his servant Israel,
15:29remembering his mercy,
15:31as he promised to our ancestors,
15:34to Abraham,
15:35and to his descendants for ever.
15:39Glory be to the Father,
15:41and to the Son,
15:42and to the Holy Spirit,
15:43as it was in the beginning,
15:46is now,
15:47and ever shall be,
15:48world without end.
15:51Amen.
15:56The Gospel according to Saint John,
15:59Chapter 3
16:01After this,
16:02Jesus and his disciples
16:04came into the Judean territory,
16:06and there he spent time with them
16:08and was baptising.
16:11John was also baptising at Enon,
16:14near Salem,
16:15because the water was more plentiful there,
16:17and people were coming to him
16:18and being baptised,
16:20for John had not yet been thrown into prison.
16:25Now a dispute came about
16:27between some of John's disciples
16:29and a certain Jew
16:30concerning ceremonial washing,
16:32and so they came to John
16:34and said to him,
16:36Rabbi,
16:37the one who was with you
16:38on the other side of the Jordan River,
16:40about whom you testified,
16:43see,
16:44he is baptising,
16:45and everyone is flocking to him.
16:48John replied,
16:50no one can receive anything
16:51unless it had been given to him
16:53from heaven.
16:55You yourselves can testify
16:56that I said,
16:58I am not the Christ,
16:59but rather
17:00I have been sent before him.
17:03The one who has the bride
17:04is the bridegroom.
17:06The friend of the bridegroom
17:08who stands by
17:08and listens for him
17:09rejoices greatly
17:11when he hears
17:12the bridegroom's voice.
17:14This then is my joy
17:16and it is complete,
17:17for he must become more important
17:20while I become less important.
17:24The one who comes from above
17:25is superior to all.
17:27The one who is from the earth
17:29belongs to the earth
17:30and speaks about earthly things.
17:34The one who comes from heaven
17:35is superior to all.
17:37He testifies about
17:39what he has seen and heard,
17:40but no one accepts his testimony.
17:44The one who has accepted
17:46his testimony
17:47has clearly confirmed
17:48that God is truthful,
17:50for the one whom God has sent
17:52speaks the word of God,
17:53for he does not give
17:55the spirit sparingly.
17:59The father loves the son
18:00and has placed all things
18:02under his authority.
18:04The one who believes in the son
18:06has eternal life.
18:08The one who rejects the son
18:10will not see life,
18:12but God's wrath remains on him.
18:16This is the word of the Lord.
18:19Thanks be to God.
18:29Now according to your word,
18:31Sovereign Lord,
18:32permit your servant
18:33to depart in peace.
18:36For my eyes have seen
18:37your salvation
18:38that you have prepared
18:40in the presence of all peoples,
18:43a light for revelation
18:45to the Gentiles
18:46and for glory
18:48to your people Israel.
18:51Glory be to the Father
18:53and to the Son
18:54and to the Holy Spirit,
18:55as it was in the beginning,
18:57is now and ever shall be,
19:00world without end.
19:02Amen.
19:07I believe in God,
19:09the Father Almighty,
19:10maker of heaven and earth,
19:12and in Jesus Christ,
19:14his only Son,
19:15our Lord,
19:16who was conceived
19:18by the Holy Spirit,
19:19born of the Virgin Mary,
19:21suffered unto Pontius Pilate,
19:24was crucified,
19:26dead and buried.
19:28He descended into hell.
19:30On the third day
19:31he rose again from the dead.
19:34He ascended into heaven
19:36and is sitting
19:37at the right hand of God,
19:39the Father Almighty.
19:41From there he shall come
19:42to judge the living
19:43and the dead.
19:46I believe in the Holy Spirit,
19:48the Holy Catholic Church,
19:50the communion of saints,
19:51the forgiveness of sins,
19:54the resurrection of the body
19:56and the life everlasting.
19:59Amen.
20:04The Lord be with you
20:06and with your spirit.
20:11Let us pray.
20:14Lord, have mercy upon us.
20:18Christ, have mercy upon us.
20:23Lord, have mercy upon us.
20:29Our Father,
20:30who is in heaven,
20:32holy is your name.
20:35May your kingdom come.
20:37May your will be done
20:39on earth as it is in heaven.
20:42Give us this day
20:43our daily bread.
20:45Forgive us our trespasses
20:46as we forgive those
20:48who trespass against us.
20:51lead us not into temptation,
20:54but deliver us from evil.
20:56For yours is the kingdom,
20:59the power and the glory,
21:02for ever and ever.
21:04Amen.
21:09O Lord, show your mercy upon us
21:12and grant us your salvation.
21:17Protect and guide those
21:20in authority over us
21:22and mercifully hear us
21:25when we call upon you.
21:28Endue your ministers
21:30with righteousness
21:32and make your chosen people
21:34and make your chosen people
21:37O Lord, save your people
21:40and bless your inheritance.
21:45Give peace in our time,
21:47O Lord,
21:49because there is none other
21:50who fights for us
21:52but only you,
21:53O God.
21:55O God,
21:56make clean
21:57our hearts
21:58within us
22:00and take not
22:01your Holy Spirit
22:02from us.
22:11Let us pray.
22:13O God,
22:14our refuge and strength,
22:17who is the author
22:18of all godliness,
22:20be ready,
22:20we beseech you,
22:21to hear the devout prayers
22:23of your church.
22:25Grant that those things
22:26which we ask faithfully
22:28we may obtain effectually.
22:32Through Jesus Christ,
22:33our Lord.
22:35Amen.
22:43O God,
22:45from whom all holy desires,
22:48all good counsels
22:49and all just works proceed,
22:51give to your servants
22:53that peace
22:54which the world cannot give,
22:56that our hearts
22:58may be set to obey
22:59your commandments
23:00and also that,
23:03by you,
23:03we,
23:04being defended
23:05from the fear
23:06of our enemies,
23:07may pass our time
23:09in rest and quietness.
23:11Through the merits
23:12of Jesus Christ,
23:14our Saviour.
23:15Amen.
23:20Lighten our darkness,
23:21we beseech you,
23:23O Lord,
23:23and by your great mercy
23:25defend us all
23:26from perils
23:28and dangers
23:29of this night.
23:30For the love
23:31of your only Son,
23:32our Saviour,
23:33Jesus Christ.
23:35Amen.
23:39Almighty God,
23:40who has given us grace
23:42at this time
23:43with one accord
23:44to make our common
23:45supplications to you
23:47and promises
23:48that when two or three
23:50are gathered together
23:51in your name,
23:52you will grant
23:53their requests.
23:56Fulfill now,
23:57O Lord,
23:58the desires
23:59and petitions
23:59of your servants
24:00as may be most beneficial
24:03for them,
24:05granting us
24:06in this world
24:07knowledge of your truth
24:08and in the world
24:10to come
24:11life everlasting.
24:13Amen.
24:16With the grace
24:17of our Lord Jesus Christ
24:19and the love of God
24:20and the fellowship
24:21of the Holy Spirit
24:22be with us all
24:24evermore.
24:26Amen.
