COLLECT FOR PURITY

 

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen. 

 

GLORIA                                                                               (Ode to Joy)

Glory be to God in heaven, peace to those who love Him well;

On the earth let all His people speak His grace, His wonders tell. Lord, we praise You for Your glory, mighty Father, heaven’s King; hear our joyful adoration and accept the thanks we bring.

 

Only Son of God the Father, Lamb who takes our sins away; now with Him in triumph seated, for Your mercy, Lord we pray.

Jesus Christ, most high and holy, Saviour You are God alone. In the glory of the Father, with the Spirit three in one.

 

 

COLLECT OF THE DAY

 

O God, your Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread. Open the eyes of our faith, that we may see him in his redeeming work, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

PSALM           Psalm 116.1–3, 10–17

I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, *

  because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.

How shall I repay the Lord *

  for all the good things he has done for me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation *

  and call upon the name of the Lord.

I will fulfil my vows to the Lord *

  in the presence of all his people.

Precious in the sight of the Lord *

  is the death of his servants.

O Lord, I am your servant; *

  I am your servant and the child of your handmaid;

  you have freed me from my bonds.

I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving *

  and call upon the name of the Lord.

I will fulfil my vows to the Lord *

  in the presence of all his people.

In the courts of the Lord’s house, *

  in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

  Hallelujah!

SERMON

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

 

Let us declare our faith in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen.

​

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

 

Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God, who forgives all our sin, whose mercy endures forever.  Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.

 

Most merciful God, we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves.  We have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we might delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

 

Almighty God, who raised Jesus from the dead, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, guide you by the Holy Spirit, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, the risen Lord. Amen. 

​

THE PEACE      

 

The peace of Christ be always with you. And also with you.
