Latin, before 9th cent., tr. J Chandler (1806-76) Tune: Harewood (A&M NS 161) The presiding priest greets all in the name of the Lord In the name of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. The Lord be with you. And also with you. Kyrie eleison is sung 3 The deacon says As we prepare to celebrate the mystery of Christ’s love, let us acknowledge our need for the Lord’s forgiveness and strength. Pause for reflection Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The presiding priest says the Absolution Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Gloria in Excelsis is sung The Gloria continues, the Choir singing alone Lord, Jesus Christ, only son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer. The Gloria continues, sung by all 4 COLLECT OF THE DAY Let us pray. Hidden God, whose wisdom compels our love and unsettles all our values: fill us with desire to search for her truth, that we may transform the world, becoming fools for her sake, through Jesus Christ, your Word and Wisdom made flesh, to whom be glory for ever. Amen. THE LITURGY OF THE WORD A reading from the book of Leviticus. 19:1-2, 9-18 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to all the congregation of the people of Israel and say to them: You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, or gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not strip your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the LORD your God. 5 You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; and you shall not lie to one another. And you shall not swear falsely by my name, profaning the name of your God: I am the LORD. You shall not defraud your neighbour; you shall not steal; and you shall not keep for yourself the wages of a labourer until morning. You shall not revile the deaf or put a stumbling-block before the blind; you shall fear your God: I am the LORD. You shall not render an unjust judgement; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbour. You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood of your neighbour: I am the LORD. You shall not hate in your heart anyone of your kin; you shall reprove your neighbour, or you will incur guilt yourself. You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against any of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the LORD. For the word of the Lord, thanks be to God. PSALM 119: 33-40 Please repeat after the Choir and join in as indicated 1 Teach me, O Lord, the way of your statutes: and I will honour it to the end. 2 Give me understanding, that I may keep your law: that I may keep it with my whole heart. 3 Guide me in the path of your commandments: for therein is my delight. 4 Incline my heart to your commands: and not to selfish gain. R 5 Turn away my eyes from looking on vanities: as I walk in your way give me life. 6 Make good your promise to your servant: the promise that endures for all who fear you. 7 Turn aside the taunts that I dread: for your judgements are very good. 8 Lord, I long for your precepts: in your righteousness give me life. R Text: APBA Response: TiS 75 6 A reading from the first letter of Paul to the Corinthians. 3:10-11, 16-23 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it. Each builder must choose with care how to build on it. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one that has been laid; that foundation is Jesus Christ. Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple. Do not deceive yourselves. If you think that you are wise in this age, you should become fools so that you may become wise.
