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.
04:57Psalm 78
04:59Pay attention, my people, to my instruction.
05:03Listen to the words I speak.
05:06I will sing a song that imparts wisdom.
05:10I will make insightful observations about the past.
05:14What we have heard and learned,
05:17that which our ancestors have told us,
05:19we will not hide from their descendants.
05:22We will tell the next generation about the Lord's praiseworthy acts,
05:27about his strength,
05:28and the amazing things he has done.
05:31He has established a rule in Jacob.
05:34He has set up a law in Israel.
05:38He commanded our ancestors to make his deeds known to their descendants,
05:43so that the next generation,
05:45children yet to be born,
05:47might know about them.
05:49They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.
05:54Then they will place their confidence in God.
05:57They will not forget the works of God,
05:59and they will obey his commands.
06:03Then they will not be like their ancestors,
06:05who were a stubborn and rebellious generation,
06:09a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.
06:13The Ephraimites were armed with bows,
06:16but they retreated in a day of battle.
06:19They did not keep their covenant with God.
06:21They refused to obey his law.
06:25They forgot about what he had done,
06:27the amazing things he had shown them.
06:31He did amazing things in the sight of their ancestors,
06:34in the land of Egypt,
06:35in the region of Zoan.
06:38He divided the sea and led them across it.
06:41He made the waters stand in a heap.
06:45He led them with a cloud by day,
06:47and with the light of a fire all night long.
06:51He broke open rocks in the wilderness,
06:53and gave them enough water to fill the depths of the sea.
06:58He caused streams to flow from the rock,
07:01and made the waters flow like rivers.
07:05Yet they continued to sin against him,
07:08and rebelled against the Most High in the desert.
07:13They willfully challenged God
07:15by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.
07:18They insulted, saying,
07:21Is God really able to give us food in the wilderness?
07:26Yes, he struck a rock,
07:29and water flowed out,
07:30streams gushed forth.
07:32But can he also give us food?
07:35Will he provide meat for his people?
07:39When the Lord heard this, he was furious.
07:42A fire broke out against Jacob,
07:44and his anger flared against Israel,
07:46because they did not have faith in God,
07:49and did not trust his ability to deliver them.
07:53He gave a command to the clouds above,
07:55and opened the doors in the sky.
07:57He rained down manna for them to eat.
08:00He gave them the grain of heaven.
08:03Man ate the food of the mighty ones.
08:06He sent them more than enough to eat.
08:09He brought the east wind through the sky,
08:12and by his strength,
08:13led forth the south wind.
08:15He rained down meat on them like dust,
08:19birds as numerous as the sand on all the seashores.
08:23He caused them to fall right in the middle of their camp,
08:26all around their homes.
08:29They ate until they were beyond full.
08:32He gave them what they desired.
08:35They were not yet filled up,
08:37their food still in their mouths,
08:39when the anger of God flared up against them.
08:42He killed some of the strongest of them.
08:45He brought the young men of Israel to their knees.
08:49Despite all this,
08:51they continued to sin,
08:52and did not trust him to do amazing things.
08:56So he caused them to die unsatisfied,
08:59and filled with terror.
09:02When he struck them down,
09:03they sought his favor.
09:04They turned back,
09:06and longed for God.
09:08They remembered that God was their protector,
09:11and that God Most High was their deliverer.
09:15But they deceived him with their words,
09:17and lied to him.
09:19They were not really committed to him,
09:21and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
09:25Yet he is compassionate.
09:28He forgives sin,
09:29and does not destroy.
09:31He often holds back his anger,
09:33and does not stir up his fury.
09:37He remembered that they were made of flesh,
09:39and were like a wind that blows past,
09:41and does not return.
09:43How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness,
09:47and insulted him in the wastelands.
09:51They again challenged God,
09:53and defended the Holy One of Israel.
09:56They did not remember what he had done,
09:58how he had delivered them from the enemy,
10:01when he performed his awesome deeds in Egypt,
10:03and his acts of judgment in the region of Zoan.
10:08He turned their rivers into blood,
10:10and they could not drink from their streams.
10:12He sent swarms of biting insects against them,
10:16as well as frogs that overran their land.
10:20He gave their crops to the grasshopper,
10:23the fruit of their labour to the locust.
10:27He destroyed their vines with hail,
10:30and their sycamore fig trees with driving rain.
10:34He ran down hail upon their cattle,
10:37and hurled lightning bolts down on their livestock.
10:42His raging anger lashed out against them.
10:45He sent fury, rage, and trouble,
10:48as messengers who bring disaster.
10:51He sent his anger in full force.
10:54He did not spare them from death.
10:56He handed their lives over to destruction.
11:00He struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,
11:04the firstfruits of their reproductive power,
11:07in the tents of Ham.
11:09And yet he brought out his people like sheep.
11:12He led them through the wilderness like a flock.
11:16He guided them safely along,
11:18and they were not afraid.
11:19But the sea covered their enemies.
11:22He brought them to the border of his holy land,
11:26to the mightiest land
11:27which his right hand acquired.
11:31He drove the nations out from before them.
11:34He assigned them their tribal allotments,
11:36and allowed the tribes of Israel to settle down.
11:40Yet they challenged and defied God Most High,
11:44and did not obey his commands.
11:47They were unfaithful,
11:49and acted as treacherously as their ancestors.
11:52They were as unreliable as a malfunctioning bow.
11:57They made him angry with their pagan shrines,
12:00and made him jealous with their idols.
12:04God heard and was angry.
12:06He completely rejected Israel.
12:09He abandoned the sanctuary at Shiloh,
12:12the tent where he lived amongst men.
12:16He allowed the symbol of his strong presence to be captured.
12:20He gave the symbol of his splendor into the hand of the enemy.
12:25He delivered his people over to the sword,
12:28and was angry with his chosen nation.
12:32Fire consumed their young men,
12:34and their virgins remained unmarried.
12:37Their priests fell by the sword,
12:39but their widows did not weep.
12:43But then the Lord awoke from his sleep.
12:46He was like a warrior in a drunken rage.
12:49He drove his enemies back.
12:51He made them a permanent target for insults.
12:54He rejected the tent of Joseph.
12:57He did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
13:00He chose the tribe of Judah and Mount Zion,
13:03which he loves.
13:05He made his sanctuary as enduring as the heavens above,
13:09as secure as the earth,
13:11which he established permanently.
13:14He chose David his servant,
13:16and took him from the sheepfolds.
13:18He took him away from following the mother sheep,
13:21and made him the shepherd of Jacob his people,
13:24and of Israel his chosen nation.
13:28David cared for them with pure motives.
13:32He led them with skill.
13:35Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,
13:37and to the Holy Spirit,
13:39as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
13:43world without end.
13:45Amen.
13:52The book of Ecclesiasticus, chapter 42.
13:58I will mention now the works of the Lord,
14:01and declare the things I have seen.
14:05In the words of the Lord are his works.
14:07The sun that gives light looks upon all things,
14:11and the work of the Lord is full of his glory.
14:15The Lord has not given power to the saints
14:17to declare all his marvellous works,
14:20which the Almighty Lord firmly settled,
14:23that whatever is might be established in his glory.
14:28He searches out the deep and the heart.
14:31He has understanding of their cunning plans,
14:35for the Most High knows all knowledge.
14:39He looks into the signs of the world,
14:42declaring the things that are past and the things that will be,
14:47revealing the traces of hidden things.
14:51No single thought escapes him.
14:54There is not a word hid from him.
14:57The mighty works of his wisdom he has ordered,
15:02who is from everlasting to everlasting.
15:06Nothing has ever been added to them,
15:09nor diminished from them.
15:11He has no need of any counsellor.
15:15How desirable are all his works!
15:18One may behold this even to a spark.
15:22All these things live and remain forever
15:25in all manner of uses,
15:27and they are obedient.
15:29All things are double one against another.
15:33He has made nothing imperfect.
15:35One thing establishes the good things of another,
15:38and who shall be filled with beholding his glory.
15:44This is the word of the Lord.
15:47Thanks be to God.
16:00Mary said,
16:02My soul exalts the Lord,
16:05and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Saviour.
16:09Because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.
16:15For from now on all generations will call me blessed,
16:19because he who is mighty has done great things for me,
16:23and holy is his name.
16:26From generation to generation
16:28he is merciful to those who fear him.
16:32He has demonstrated power with his arm.
16:35He has scattered those whose pride wells up
16:39from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
16:42He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,
16:45and has lifted up those of lowly position.
16:48He has filled the hungry with good things,
16:51and has sent the rich away empty.
16:55He has helped his servant Israel,
16:58remembering his mercy,
16:59as he promised to our ancestors,
17:02to Abraham,
17:04and to his descendants for ever.
17:08Glory be to the Father,
17:09and to the Son,
17:10and to the Holy Spirit,
17:12as it was in the beginning,
17:14is now,
17:15and ever shall be,
17:17world without end.
17:19Amen.
17:25The Gospel According to St. John
17:28Chapter 4
17:31Meanwhile,
17:33the disciples were urging Jesus,
17:35Rabbi, eat something.
17:38But he said to them,
17:39I have food to eat that you know nothing of.
17:43So the disciples began to ask one another,
17:46No one brought him anything to eat, did they?
17:51Jesus said,
17:53My food is to do the will of the one who sent me,
17:55and to complete his work.
17:58Don't you say,
17:59There are four more months,
18:00and then comes the harvest?
18:02I tell you,
18:03look up,
18:04and see that the fields are already white for the harvest.
18:08The one who reaps receives pay,
18:10and gathers fruit for eternal life,
18:12so that the one who sows,
18:14and the one who reaps,
18:15can rejoice together.
18:18For in this instance,
18:20the saying is true,
18:21One sows and another reaps.
18:23I send you to reap what you did not work for.
18:28Others have laboured,
18:29and you have entered into their labour.
18:33Now many Samaritans from that town believed in him,
18:36because of the reports of the woman who testified,
18:39He told me everything I ever did.
18:43So when the Samaritans came to him,
18:46they began asking him to stay with them.
18:48He stayed there for two days,
18:50and because of his word many more believed.
18:54They said to the woman,
18:56No longer do we believe because of what you said,
18:59for we have heard for ourselves,
19:02and we know that this one really is the saviour of the world.
19:09After the two days,
19:10he departed from there to Galilee.
19:13But Jesus himself had testified,
19:15that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
19:19And so when he came to Galilee,
19:21the Galileans welcomed him,
19:23because they had seen all the things he had done in Jerusalem,
19:26at the feast.
19:27For they themselves had been there.
19:31When he came again to Cana in Galilee,
19:34a place where he had made the water into wine,
19:39in Capernaum there was a certain royal official,
19:43whose son was sick.
19:45And when he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee,
19:49he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son,
19:52who was about to die.
19:55So Jesus said to him,
19:58Unless you people see signs and wonders,
20:00you will never believe.
20:03Sir, the official said,
20:05Come down before my child dies.
20:09Jesus told him,
20:11Go home, your son will live.
20:15The man believed the words that Jesus spoke to him,
20:18and he set off for home.
20:21While he was on his way home,
20:23his slaves met him
20:24and told him that his son was going to live.
20:28He asked them the time
20:30when his condition began to improve,
20:32and they told him,
20:34Yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon,
20:37the fever left him.
20:39Then the father realized
20:40that this was the very time
20:41that Jesus had said to him,
20:43Your son will live.
20:45And he himself believed,
20:47along with his entire household.
20:51Jesus did this as his second miraculous sign,
20:55that when he returned from Judea to Galilee.
20:59This is the word of the Lord.
21:03Thanks be to God.
21:14Now, according to your word,
21:17Sovereign Lord,
21:18permit your servant to depart in peace.
21:21For my eyes have seen your salvation
21:24that you have prepared
21:26in the presence of all peoples,
21:29a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
21:32and for glory to your people Israel.
21:37Glory be to the Father,
21:39and to the Son,
21:40and to the Holy Spirit,
21:41as it was in the beginning,
21:43is now, and ever shall be,
21:46world without end.
21:47Amen.
21:52I believe in God the Father Almighty,
21:56maker of heaven and earth,
21:58and in Jesus Christ,
22:00his only Son, our Lord,
22:02who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
22:05born of the Virgin Mary,
22:07suffered unto Pontius Pilate,
22:10was crucified, dead, and buried.
22:14He descended into hell.
22:15On the third day he rose again from the dead.
22:20He ascended into heaven,
22:22and is sitting at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
22:27From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
22:31I believe in the Holy Spirit,
22:34the Holy Catholic Church,
22:35the communion of saints,
22:37the forgiveness of sins,
22:39the resurrection of the body,
22:42and the life everlasting.
22:45Amen.
22:50The Lord be with you,
22:53and with your spirit.
22:57Let us pray.
23:00Lord, have mercy upon us.
23:04Christ, have mercy upon us.
23:08Lord, have mercy upon us.
23:15Our Father, who is in heaven,
23:18holy is your name.
23:21May your kingdom come.
23:23May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
23:28Give us this day our daily bread.
23:30Give us this day our daily bread.
23:30Forgive us our trespasses,
23:33as we forgive those who trespass against us.
23:37Lead us not into temptation,
23:39but deliver us from evil.
23:42For yours is the kingdom,
23:45the power and the glory,
23:47for ever and ever.
23:49For ever and ever.
23:50Amen.
23:55O Lord, show your mercy upon us,
23:58and grant us your salvation.
24:03Protect and guide those in authority over us,
24:08and mercifully hear us when we call upon you.
24:14Endue your ministers with righteousness,
24:17and make your chosen people joyful.
24:23O Lord, save your people,
24:26and bless your inheritance.
24:31Give peace in our time, O Lord,
24:34because there is none other who fights for us
24:37but only you, O God.
24:41O God, make clean our hearts within us,
24:46and take not your Holy Spirit from us.
24:55Let us pray.
24:58O Lord, we beseech you,
25:01absolve your people from their offenses,
25:04that, through your bountiful goodness,
25:07we may all be delivered
25:08from the bands of those sins
25:10which, by our frailty,
25:13we have committed.
25:16Grab this, O Heavenly Father,
25:17for Jesus Christ's sake,
25:20our beloved Lord and Saviour.
25:23Amen.
25:30O God, from whom all holy desires,
25:34all good counsels,
25:35and all just works proceed,
25:38give to your servants that peace
25:40which the world cannot give,
25:43that our hearts may be set to obey your commandments,
25:47and also that, by you,
25:50we, being defended from the fear of our enemies,
25:54may pass our time in rest and quietness,
25:58through the merits of Jesus Christ,
26:00our Saviour.
26:02Amen.
26:07Lighten our darkness,
26:08we beseech you, O Lord,
26:10and by your great mercy defend us all
26:13from perils and dangers of this night.
26:17For the love of your only Son,
26:19our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
26:22Amen.
26:26Almighty God,
26:27who has given us grace at this time
26:29with one accord
26:30to make our common supplications to you,
26:34and promises that when two or three
26:36are gathered together in your name,
26:39you will grant their requests.
26:42Fulfill now, O Lord,
26:44the desires and petitions of your servants,
26:48as may be most beneficial for them,
26:51granting us in this world
26:53knowledge of your truth
26:55and in the world to come
26:57life everlasting.
27:00Amen.
27:03May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
27:05and the love of God
27:06and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
27:09be with us all evermore.
27:12Amen.
