00:22Let us pray.
00:41Let us pray.
00:56May all arrogance be ever cast down.
00:59May all longing for the praise of men be extinguished.
01:02May all wantonness of self-conceit be quenched within me.
01:07Give me grace, O Lord, to flee any honour, to hate distinction,
01:11and to submit myself with readiness to all men for your sake.
01:17Praise, honour, and glory be to you, O Christ,
01:20who, as a little child, did with your tender mother suffer persecution,
01:25and did not refuse to be carried as an exile fleeing into Egypt.
01:31Give me grace amidst the storms of adversity and the blasts of persecution and misfortune,
01:37to fly for refuge to you alone, to seek you, to call upon you.
01:44Grant that I may receive all things with gladness at your hands,
01:48may endure all things in meekness of heart,
01:51and may cleave with thanksgiving without wavering to you.
01:56Praise, honour, and glory be to you, O Christ,
01:59who, when you remained behind in the temple,
02:02your mother sought for sorrowing,
02:05and at length with joy found you sitting in the midst of the doctors,
02:09hearing and asking them questions.
02:12May you so give and communicate yourself to me,
02:15that I may never be separated from you,
02:18and never be without the comfort of your blessed friendship.
02:22Drive sloth from my heart,
02:25dispel any dullness that is displeasing in your sight.
02:29Grant me perfect devotion,
02:31and such an ardent thirst after piety,
02:34that my soul may be so affected and possessed by it,
02:38as never to feel satisfied with worshipping you.
02:43Praise, honour, and glory be to you,
02:45who gave yourself up to live in concealment for thirty years,
02:50to be reputed by the Jews the son of Joseph the carpenter,
02:54and be subject to the commands of your mother and the same Joseph.
02:59May your grace, I beg you,
03:02root out and thoroughly pluck up
03:04from the innermost recesses of my heart
03:06any ambition and seeking of glory,
03:10that I may become belittled in my own eyes,
03:13and may love to be unknown and considered of no account,
03:17submitting myself to all,
03:19and obeying them for your honour.
03:22Praise, honour, and glory be to you, O Christ,
03:25who did not refuse to come to the River Jordan,
03:28and be baptised there by your servant John.
03:33May you thoroughly cleanse me by your merits in this life,
03:38that freed from all vices and sins,
03:41I may be filled with the love of you,
03:44and long for my heavenly country.
03:47Make me, I beg you,
03:49before my soul quits this body,
03:52pleasing to you in all things,
03:54that, departing from this life,
03:56I may be for ever in heaven with you,
03:59to see you,
04:01to enjoy you,
04:02and to praise your holy name for ever and ever.
04:06Praise, honour, and glory be to you, O Christ,
04:09who for our sake dwelt in the wilderness,
04:12amongst the wild beasts,
04:14and fasted and watched in prayer for forty days and forty nights,
04:19permitting yourself to be tempted by the devil,
04:21whom you overcame when angels came and ministered to you.
04:26Grant me grace to discipline, overcome,
04:29and bring into subjection my sinful flesh
04:32with its evil affections.
04:37Give me grace to be instant in prayer
04:39and all other spiritual exercises,
04:41and grant that with your continual help
04:45I may completely overcome sins of gluttony
04:48and may escape the snares and schemes of the devil.
04:54Let no temptations, I beg you,
04:56defile me,
04:57nor separate me from you,
04:59but may they rather purify me
05:02and unite and join me with you.
05:06Praise, honour, and glory be to you, O Christ,
05:09who gave himself up to preach repentance,
05:13to call to you disciples,
05:15and from them choose the twelve apostles
05:16to be the special heralds of the faith,
05:20gathering together the children of God
05:22that was scattered abroad.
05:24Draw me after you,
05:26and powerfully excite my heart to love you.
05:30Do not permit me to neglect the grace
05:33with which you called me,
05:34but make me ready to despise the world
05:37and all perishable things,
05:39following you,
05:40taking your humility and charity as my example.
05:44Give me grace to look for you alone,
05:47and with earnest longing
05:48to sigh continually after you.
05:52Amen.
05:56O Lord, open our lips,
05:59and our mouths shall sing your praise.
06:08O be joyful in the Lord,
06:13O be glad,
06:15serve the Lord with gladness,
06:19and come with all his prayers
06:22and with a talk.
06:25Be sure that the Lord,
06:29he is God,
06:31he is he that has made us
06:34and lost me ourselves.
06:37We are his people
06:40and the sheep of his pasture.
06:45O do your way
06:47is to his case with mercy,
06:50and into his constant grace.
06:55Be thankful unto him,
06:59and speak to the Lord of his name.
07:04O the Lord is gracious,
07:08his mercy is everlasting,
07:13and his truth and glory from generation
07:19to generation.
07:27Glory be to the Father,
07:31and to the Son,
07:34and to the Holy Ghost,
07:38as it was in the beginning,
07:42is now and ever shall be,
07:48world without end.
07:55Amen.
08:05O Lord, O Lord,
08:06I know,
08:07said thou,
08:08I said thou,
08:10tyrant,
08:11that thou canst
08:13too be still,
08:16where art thou
08:18know,
08:19praise thou for
08:20and joleth he's
08:22ta'ing.

12:25visitors from Rome but Jew and proselyte Cretans and Arabians we hear them
12:31speaking in our languages the mighty works of God they were amazed and
12:37perplexed saying to one another what does this mean others mocking said they
12:44are filled with the new wine but Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up
12:51his voice and spoke out to them you men of Judea and all you who dwell in
12:57Jerusalem let this be known to you and listen to my words for these are not
13:03drunken as you suppose seeing as it is only the third hour of the day but this
13:10is what has been spoken of through the prophet Jehovah it will be in the last
13:15days says God that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh your sons and your
13:20daughters will prophesy your young men will see visions your old men will dream
13:25dreams yes and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days I will pour out
13:32my spirits and they will prophesy I will show wonders in the sky above and signs
13:39on the earth beneath blood fire and the billowing of smoke the Sun will be turned
13:46into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes it will
13:54be that whoever will call upon the name of the Lord will be saved this is the word of the
14:03Lord thanks
14:05be to God the congregation in that upper room was the representative or as it were the seed germ the
14:18embryonic
14:19elements of the whole Catholic Church of all the centuries and of every land of the world
14:27for a symbol of this its worldwide significance the little church rehearsed the praises of redemption in all the
14:35tongues of all the land over which God that scattered the tribes of Israel this
14:41polygot polyglot praise was the consecration of heathen speech to the service of Israel's Jehovah
14:50it foreshadowed the great Catholic grace of God which has turned common and unclean tongues to holy use
14:59it meant though they knew it not the gathering in of the Gentile races to the God of Jacob
15:08let us then not be fond of the uniformity that is a false faith but let us seek the higher
15:15unity which
15:16rests upon freedom and variety in the true Catholic Church which stands in our creed and is dear to our
15:24heart
15:24there are many forms of tongue and utterance tongues so diverse that alas we often fail to recognize
15:32one another and yet there is only one spirit who inspires and having inspired interprets who is above all and
15:42through all
15:43and in you all we today are the heirs of this Pentecost then first the waiting church below was linked
15:53tight in uttermost
15:55unity of life to its reigning Lord above one spirit embraced the throne in heaven and the upper room on
16:03the earth to each Christian
16:05man in every Christian age there has stood and still stands today open the unrevoked grant of the fullness of
16:13the
16:13spirit such fullness as will fill him to completion if we were only willing to take it in to his
16:21capacity in full
16:24to each of us it is and has been according to our faith if we are of this world cold
16:32timid
16:33despondent servile-hearted fearful it is not because we live under the law not because God has set bounds
16:41to his grace nor because the Holy Spirit is not yet as if Christ were not yet glorified it is
16:49because we have neither heart nor desire nor faith to expect we have not now because we ask not ask
16:59and you shall receive
17:03it is said in the text that the disciples began to speak the first effect of the outpouring of the
17:09spirit
17:09on the disciples was to prove them to speak a man may have a little of the Holy Spirit and
17:16observe silence
17:17silence but if he is truly filled with the spirit he cannot hold his peace the disciples began to speak
17:27with other tongues let us remember that the Lord descended to Babel and confused the tongues he there and
17:35then set a train of circumstances in motion which necessarily would result in the diversity of language the
17:43the Lord descended to Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost unified the tongues once more he there and then set
17:52a train of
17:53circumstances in motion which inevitably would lead to a better understanding between the nations and a more
17:59thorough knowledge of each other's language the miracle of Pentecost will gradually neutralize the miracle of Babel
18:12the disciples began to speak with other tongues the wonderful work of the wonderful works of God
18:18the wonderful works of God are the life the death and the resurrection of Jesus Christ
18:25these formed the grand topics which the disciples construed into other tongues
18:31not nature but the gospel not creation but redemption
18:39they spoke to men of other nations
18:43increased life always demands increased skill for its exercise
18:49the fire first burns into the hearts of the disciples
18:53then it begins to extend its area and now it threatens to burn up all the stubble of the world
19:03the disciples spoke to other nations that they may also be filled with the Holy Spirit
19:09repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
19:13for the remission of sins and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit
19:20what we have here is the history of the first Christian revival
19:26the counter-attack of our faith after the crucifixion no less
19:30for the appearances of the risen Christ had been both private and personal
19:36now the apostles were to take the gospel news to the world at large
19:41let us trace it through and mark at once its origins and its characteristics
19:49firstly it was ushered in by prayer
19:52like true children of God
19:54these first disciples waited and prayed
19:57asking constantly
19:58that they might receive this Holy Spirit
20:01according to his promise
20:03and herein they rebuke us today dreadfully
20:06for in our petitions
20:08we are too far limp
20:10and neglect the Holy Spirit
20:14the revival began in the church
20:16in the quickening
20:18and the enlightening of those who were already
20:20disciples
20:22to convert the world we must have the church
20:24purified and ennobled
20:26through the enjoyment of a rich
20:28effusion of the power of the Holy Spirit
20:32the revival was characterized
20:36first and foremost
20:38by the preaching of the essence of the truth
20:42Peter's discord was
20:44both biblical experimental
20:46pointed
20:48and courageous
20:50but perhaps more fundamentally than everything
20:54this revival
20:56was characterized
20:57characterized
20:58by conversions
21:00in their thousands
21:07let us pray
21:09O God
21:11our refuge and strength
21:13who is the author of all godliness
21:15be ready we beseech you
21:18to hear the devout prayers of your church
21:21grant that those things which we ask faithfully
21:25we may obtain
21:27effectually
21:29through Jesus Christ our Lord
21:31Amen
21:37May the Lord bless us
21:39and keep us from all evil
21:41bringing us to everlasting life
21:44Amen
21:46Amen
21:46Amen
21:47Amen
21:47You
