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.
02:03Therefore 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 53
05:01Fools say to themselves, there is no God.
05:04They sin and commit evil deeds.
05:07None of them does what is right.
05:10God looks down from heaven at the human race
05:13to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.
05:19Everyone rejects God.
05:20They are all morally corrupt.
05:23None of them does what is right.
05:25Not even one.
05:29All those who behave wickedly do not understand.
05:32Those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,
05:36and do not call out to God.
05:39They are absolutely terrified,
05:42even by things that do not normally cause fear.
05:46For God annihilates those who attack you.
05:50You are able to humiliate them because God has rejected them.
05:55I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion.
05:59When God restores the well-being of his people,
06:02may Jacob rejoice.
06:04May Israel be happy.
06:09Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
06:12as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
06:17world without end.
06:18Amen.
06:25Psalm 54
06:28O God, deliver me by your name.
06:31Vindicate me by your power.
06:34O God, listen to my prayer.
06:37Pay attention to what I say.
06:39For foreigners attack me.
06:41Ruthless men who do not respect God seek my life.
06:46Look, God is my deliverer.
06:49The Lord is among those who support me.
06:52May those who wait to ambush me be repaid for their evil.
06:57As a demonstration of your faithfulness, destroy them.
07:02With a freewill offering, I will sacrifice to you.
07:06I will give thanks to your name, O Lord, for it is good.
07:12Surely he rescues me from all trouble.
07:15And I triumph over my enemies.
07:20Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
07:24as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
07:28world without end.
07:30Amen.
07:35Psalm 55
07:39Listen, O God, to my prayer.
07:41Do not ignore my appeal for mercy.
07:45Pay attention to me and answer me.
07:47I am upset and distressed.
07:49I am beside myself because of what the enemy says,
07:54and of how they wicked pressure me.
07:57For they hurl trouble down upon me, and angrily attack me.
08:03My heart beats violently within me.
08:07The horrors of death overcome me.
08:10Fear and panic overpower me.
08:13Terror overwhelms me.
08:16I say, I wish I had wings like a dove.
08:20I would fly away and settle in a safe place.
08:25Look, I will escape to a distant place.
08:28I will stay in the wilderness.
08:31I will hurry off to a place that is safe from the strong wind and the gale.
08:38Confuse them, O Lord.
08:40Frustrate their plans, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
08:46Day and night they walk around its walls,
08:49while wickedness and destruction are within it.
08:54Disaster is within it.
08:55Violence and deceit do not depart from its public square.
09:01Indeed, it is not an enemy who insults me, or else I could bear it.
09:05It is not one who hates me arrogantly who taunts me, or else I could hide from him.
09:13But it is you, a man like me, my close friend in whom I confided.
09:21We would share personal thoughts with each other.
09:24In God's temple we would walk together among the crowd.
09:30May death destroy them.
09:31May they go down alive in Sheol, for evil is their dwelling place and in their midst.
09:38As for me, I will call out to the Lord, and the Lord will deliver me.
09:45During the evening, morning, and the noontime, I will lament and moan, and he will hear me.
09:52He will rescue me and protect me from those who attack me,
09:55even though they greatly outnumber me.
10:00God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago, will hear and humiliate them.
10:07They refuse to change and do not fear God.
10:11He attacks them.
10:13He breaks his solemn promises to them.
10:17His words are as smooth as butter,
10:19but he harbors animosity in his heart.
10:24His words seem softer than oil, but they are really like sharp swords.
10:31Throw your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you.
10:35He will never allow the godly to be shaken.
10:39But you, O Lord, will bring them down to the deep pit.
10:44Violent and deceitful people will not live even half a normal lifespan.
10:50But as for me, I trust in you.
10:55Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
10:59as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
11:04world without end.
11:06Amen.
11:14The Book of Ecclesiasticus, Chapter 22
11:20Unseasonable discourse is like music in mourning,
11:24but stripes and correction are wisdom in every season.
11:29He that teaches a fool is as one that glues a potsherd together,
11:35even as one that wakes a sleeper out of a deep sleep.
11:39He that discourses with a fool is as one discoursing with a man that sleeps.
11:45At the end he will say, what is it?
11:48Weep for the dead, for light has failed him.
11:51Weep for a fool, for understanding has failed him.
11:55Weep more sweetly for the dead, because he has found rest.
12:00But the life of the fool is worse than death.
12:05Seven days are the days of mourning for the dead.
12:08But for a fool and an ungodly man, it is the rest of his life.
12:13Do not talk much with a foolish man.
12:16Do not go to one that has no understanding.
12:19Beware of him, lest you have trouble.
12:22So you shall not be defiled in his onslaught.
12:26Turn away from him, and you will find rest.
12:29So you will not be wearied in his madness.
12:33What is heavier than lead, and what is the name thereof but a fool?
12:38Sand and salt and a mass of iron is easier to carry than a man without understanding.
12:46Timber girded and bound into a building will not be loosened with a shaking.
12:51And so a heart established in due season on well-advised counsel will not be afraid.
12:57A heart settled upon a thoughtful understanding is like an ornament of plaster on a polished wall.
13:06Pails set on a high place will not stand against the wind.
13:11So a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool will not stand against any fear.
13:18He that pricks the eye will make tears fall.
13:22He that pricks the heart makes it show feeling.
13:26Whoever casts a stone at birds, phrase them away.
13:30He that upbraids a friend will dissolve friendship.
13:35If you have drawn a sword against a friend, do not despair, for there may be a returning.
13:41If you have opened your mouth against a friend, fear not, for there may be a reconciliation.
13:48Accept it be for upbraiding and arrogance and the disclosing of a secret or a treacherous blow.
13:55For these things every friend will flee.
13:59Gain trust with your neighbour in his poverty, that in his prosperity you may have gladness.
14:07Abide steadfast to him in the time of his affliction.
14:11Then you may be heir with him in his inheritance.
14:15Before fire is the vapour and smoke of a furnace.
14:19So is the revelling before bloodshed.
14:23This is the word of the Lord.
14:26Thanks be to God.
14:40Mary said,
14:42My soul exalts the Lord,
14:44and my spirit has begun to rejoice in God my Saviour,
14:48because he has looked upon the humble state of his servant.
14:54For from now on all generations will call me blessed,
14:58because he who is mighty has done great things for me,
15:03and holy is his name.
15:05From generation to generation he is merciful to those who fear him.
15:12He has demonstrated power with his arm.
15:15He has scattered those whose pride wells up from the sheer arrogance of their hearts.
15:21He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,
15:24and has lifted up those of lowly position.
15:28He has filled the hungry with good things,
15:31and has sent the rich away empty.
15:34He has helped his servant Israel,
15:37remembering his mercy,
15:39as he promised to our ancestors,
15:42to Abraham,
15:43and to his descendants for ever.
15:47Glory be to the Father,
15:49and to the Son,
15:50and to the Holy Spirit,
15:52as it was in the beginning,
15:54is now,
15:55and ever shall be,
15:57world without end.
15:59Amen.
16:08The Gospel according to Saint John,
16:11Chapter 1
16:13The next day,
16:15John saw Jesus coming toward him,
16:17and said,
16:18Look,
16:18the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
16:22This is the one about whom I said,
16:24After me comes a man who is greater than I am,
16:28because he existed before me.
16:31I did not recognize him,
16:33but I came baptizing with water,
16:36in order that he would be revealed to Israel.
16:41Then John testified,
16:44I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven,
16:47and it remained on him.
16:51I did not recognize him,
16:53but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me,
16:56The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain.
17:00This is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.
17:05I have both seen and testified,
17:08that this man is the chosen one of God.
17:14The next day,
17:15Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee.
17:18He found Philip and said to him,
17:20Follow me.
17:22Now Philip was from Bethsaida,
17:24the town of Andrew and Peter.
17:27Philip found Nathanael and told him,
17:30We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law,
17:33and the prophets also,
17:35Jesus of Nazareth,
17:37the son of Joseph.
17:40Nathanael replied,
17:41Can anything good come out of Nazareth?
17:45Philip replied,
17:46Come and see.
17:49Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed,
17:53Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit.
18:00Nathanael asked him,
18:02How is it you know me?
18:04Jesus replied,
18:06Before Philip called you,
18:08When you were under the fig tree,
18:10I saw you.
18:12Nathanael answered him,
18:14Rabbi,
18:15You are the son of God.
18:17You are the king of Israel.
18:19Jesus said to him,
18:21Jesus said to him,
18:21Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree,
18:24you believe,
18:25you will see far greater things than these.
18:29Then he continued,
18:31I tell all of you the solemn truth.
18:33You will see heaven open,
18:35and the angels of God ascending and descending
18:38on the Son of Man.
18:41This is the word of the Lord.
18:44Thanks be to God.
18:56Now according to your word,
18:58Sovereign Lord,
19:00permit your servant to depart in peace.
19:03For my eyes have seen your salvation
19:06that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples.
19:11A light for revelation to the Gentiles
19:13and for glory to your people Israel.
19:19Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
19:23as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
19:27world without end.
19:29Amen.
19:34I believe in God the Father Almighty,
19:38maker of heaven and earth,
19:40and in Jesus Christ,
19:41his only Son, our Lord,
19:44who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
19:47born of the Virgin Mary,
19:49suffered unto Pontius Pilate,
19:52was crucified, dead, and buried.
19:55He descended into hell.
19:58On the third day he rose again from the dead.
20:02He ascended into heaven
20:03and is sitting at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
20:08From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
20:13I believe in the Holy Spirit,
20:15the Holy Catholic Church,
20:17the communion of saints,
20:19the forgiveness of sins,
20:21the resurrection of the body,
20:24and the life everlasting.
20:25Amen.
20:32The Lord be with you
20:34and with your spirit.
20:38Let us pray.
20:42Lord, have mercy upon us.
20:45Christ, have mercy upon us.
20:50Lord, have mercy upon us.
20:56Our Father, who is in heaven,
21:00holy is your name.
21:03May your kingdom come.
21:05May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
21:09Give us this day our daily bread.
21:12Forgive us our trespasses,
21:14as we forgive those who trespass against us.
21:19Lead us not into temptation,
21:21but deliver us from evil.
21:24For yours is the kingdom,
21:27the power and the glory,
21:29for ever and ever.
21:32Amen.
21:36O Lord, show your mercy upon us
21:39and grant us your salvation.
21:45Protect and guide those in authority over us
21:50and mercifully hear us when we call upon you.
21:56Endue your ministers with righteousness
21:59and make your chosen people joyful.
22:04O Lord, save your people
22:08and bless your inheritance.
22:12Give peace in our time, O Lord,
22:16because there is none other who fights for us
22:19but only you, O God.
22:23O God, make clean our hearts within us
22:27and take not your Holy Spirit from us.
22:38Let us pray.
22:40O God, our refuge and strength,
22:44who is the author of all godliness,
22:47be ready, we beseech you,
22:49to hear the devout prayers of your church.
22:52Grant that those things which we ask faithfully
22:56we may obtain effectually.
22:59Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
23:02Amen.
23:10O God, from whom all holy desires,
23:15all good counsels and all just works proceed,
23:18give to your servants that peace
23:21which the world cannot give,
23:24that our hearts may be set to obey your commandments
23:27and also that, by you,
23:31we, being defended from the fear of our enemies,
23:34may pass our time in rest and quietness.
23:38Through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
23:42Amen.
23:47Lighten our darkness, we beseech you, O Lord,
23:51and by your great mercy defend us all
23:54from perils and dangers of this night.
23:58For the love of your only Son, our Saviour,
24:01Jesus Christ.
24:02Amen.
24:06Almighty God, who has given us grace
24:09at this time with one accord
24:11to make our common supplications to you
24:14and promises that when two or three
24:17are gathered together in your name,
24:19you will grant their requests.
24:23Fulfill now, O Lord,
24:25the desires and petitions of your servants
24:28as may be most beneficial for them,
24:32granting us in this world
24:34knowledge of your truth
24:36and in the world to come
24:38life everlasting.
24:41Amen.
24:44May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
24:46and the love of God
24:47and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
24:50be with us all evermore.
24:53Amen.
