Maundy Thursday

The word maundy is an English corruption of the Latin mandatum, meaning ‘commandment’, that Jesus gives his disciples after washing their feet.

“So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.” (John 13: 14–17 NRSV)

After the Homily, all will be welcome to have their feet washed, and in turn, are invited to wash the feet of others.

At the conclusion of the Eucharist, we are invited, as were the first disciples, to watch and pray with the Lord on the night before his crucifixion and death. Consecrated Bread and Wine are taken to the Altar of Repose in Centennial Chapel, and all are invited to keep watch through the night.

It is a solemn, sober, and somber night—for we know what the first disciples did not: that Jesus will soon be arrested, tried unjustly, and put to death. Accordingly, the church is quietly stripped of all adornment and all are left in suspense for the Great Sacrifice to come.

Amen.

3 The Liturgy of the Word

The First Lesson Exodus 12:1–4, (5–10), 11–14a (nrsv) The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it. [Your lamb shall be without blemish, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two door posts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fire, with its head, legs, and inner organs. You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn.] This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the LORD. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the LORD. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

The Gradual Psalm 116:1, 10–17 The cantor sings the following refrain, then all repeat

Refrain 4 The Second Lesson 1 Corinthians 11:23–26 (nrsv) I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Hymn at the Sequence 315 Thou, who at thy first Eucharist didst pray

The Gospel John 13:1–17, 31b–35 (nrsv) The Holy X Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Glory to you, Lord Christ.

Before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you.” For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.” After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

5 The Sermon The Reverend Dick Rasner

Rite of Preparation for the Paschal Holy Days

Those preparing for reaffirmation and their sponsors come before the Celebrant in full view of the congregation.

N., N., you have been setting an example for us of that true turning to God which lies at the heart of our Christian calling. Tonight we welcome you to join us as disciples of Jesus Christ by imitating his example and dedicating ourselves to service among us in this community. Christ Jesus came among us not to be served but to serve. Tonight we wash your feet as a sign of the servanthood to which Christ has called us and we ask you in turn to join us in this symbol of our discipleship. N., N., are you prepared to join us in our life of service? [We are prepared.]

The feet of the candidates are washed. When all are ready, the Celebrant distributes basins, ewers, and towels to them, saying to each: May Christ strengthen you in the service which he lays upon you.

They in turn wash the feet of other members of the congregation.

Music at the Foot-washing (sung by the choir) The Lord Jesus, after he supped with his disciples and had washed their feet, said to them, “Do you know what I, your Lord and Master have done to you? I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done.”

Peace is my last gift to you, my own peace I now leave with you; peace which the world cannot give I give to you.

I will listen to what the Lord God is saying, for he is speaking to his faithful people and to those who turn their hearts to him. Peace...

Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Peace...

I give you a new commandment: Love one another as I have loved you. Peace...

By this shall the world know that you are my disciples: That you have love for one another. Peace... Text: The Book of Common Prayer Music: Nicholas White

Ubi caritas Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Where charity and love are, God is there. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Christ’s love has gathered us into one. Exultemus, et in ipso jucundemur. Let us exult and rejoice in him. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Let us fear and love the living God. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. And may we love each other with a sincere heart. Amen. Amen. Text: Latin antiphon Music: Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978)

The cantor sings the verses Your love, O Jesus Christ, has gathered us together. May your love, O Jesus Christ, be fore- most in our lives. Let us love one another as God has loved us. Let us be one in love together in the one bread of Christ. The love of God in Jesus Christ bears eternal joy. The love of God in Jesus Christ will never have an end.

The Lord be with you. And al - so with you. Celebrant People

Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People

It is right to give him thanks and praise. It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. For our sins he was lifted high upon the cross, that he might draw the whole world to himself; and, by his suffering and death, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who put their trust in him.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

Ho - ly, ho - ly, ho - ly, Lord, God of

power and might, hea - ven and earth are full of your glo - ry.

in the name of the Lord. Ho - san - na in the high - est.

There - fore we pro - claim the mys - ter - y of faith:

Celebrant and People

Christ has died. Christ is ri - sen. Christ will come a - gain.

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify X us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.

A-MEN.

As our Savior Christ has taught us, we now pray, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.

The Celebrant says an Invitation to Communion.

10 All who are drawn to God’s table through the waters of baptism are welcome to receive Holy Communion. When you come to the railing, you may either stand or kneel. The wafer will be placed in your palm. You may either consume the host immediately and then drink from the chalice, or hold the host and lightly dip it in the wine when it is offered. If you wish to receive a blessing instead of communion, cross your arms over your chest, and the priest will bless you. Gluten-free wafers are available.

Good Friday This marks the second day of the Triduum, the day on which we commemorate the Lord’s crucifixion and death. The service is in fact a continuation of the liturgy begun last night at the Maundy Thursday Eucharist, and it will not ‘end’ until the Great Vigil of Easter. Consequently, the liturgy begins – or more properly, continues – without the familiar acclamation, and it ends without a formal dismissal. The vesture of the sacred ministers is simple, recalling the solemnity and sobriety of the day, and the Gospel according to John is solemnly sung. The liturgy crests as the cross is venerated by the gathered congregation. Afterwards, communion is shared from bread and wine consecrated at the Maundy Thursday Eucharist, and all depart in silence to the waiting of Holy Saturday and the restrained anticipation of the Great Vigil of Easter.

The Liturgy of the Word

The First Lesson Isaiah 52:13–53:12 (nrsv) See, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high. Just as there were many who were astonished at him—so marred was his appearance, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of mortals—so he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see, and that which they had not heard they shall contemplate. Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by others; a man of suffering and acquainted with infirmity; and as one from whom others hide their faces he was despised, and we held him of no account. Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people. They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him with pain. When you make his life an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the LORD shall prosper. Out of his an- guish he shall see light; he shall find satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will allot him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he poured out himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 15 Psalm 22: 1–21 The cantor sings the following refrain, then all repeat

The Second Lesson Hebrews 10:16–25 (nrsv) The Holy Spirit testifies saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds,” he also adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer any offering for sin. Therefore, my friends, since we have confidence to enter the sanctuary by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain (that is, through his flesh), and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us approach with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who has promised is faithful. And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 16 The Passion Narrative (sung by the choir) John 19:1-37 (RSV) Music: Zachary Wadsworth (b. 1983)

The People remain seated until the verse which mentions the arrival at Golgotha. …Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no King but Caesar.” Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.

All stand

So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place of the skull, which is called in Hebrew Golgotha. There they crucified him, and with him two others, one on either side, and Jesus between them… …A bowl full of vinegar stood there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to his mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished;” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

All kneel; silence is kept. When the Celebrant stands, All stand. The narration continues.

As a gesture of devotion, and in reflection on Jesus’ suffering and death, the People are invited to come forward to pray before the cross or place a nail in the basket at the foot of the cross.

Music at the Veneration

(sung by the choir) We glory in your cross, O Lord, and praise and glorify your holy resurrection; for by virtue of your cross joy has come to the whole world. May God be merciful to us and bless us, show us the light of his countenance, and come to us. Let your ways be known upon earth, your saving health among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.

During the hymn, the Blessed Sacrament is brought in procession from the Altar of Repose.

The People kneel to say the Confession.

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Most merciful God, we confess that 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 neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

The Celebrant pronounces X Absolution. The People respond Amen.

On Good Friday we fast from celebrating the Eucharist, but not from Communion itself. While there is no offering of bread and wine and no Eucharistic prayer, we receive the Body and Blood of the Risen Christ in the consecrated bread and wine reserved from Maundy Thursday’s Eucharistic celebration.

All who are drawn to God’s table through the waters of baptism are welcome to receive Holy Communion. Bread and wine will be distributed at the standing station found at the head of the center aisle. If you would rather receive a blessing instead of communion, cross your arms over your chest, and the priest will bless you. Gluten-free wafers are available.

Hymn at the Communion 474 When I survey the wondrous cross

Following Communion, the People stand

Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, we pray you to set your passion, cross, and death between your judgment and our souls, now and in the hour of our death. Give mercy and grace to the living; pardon and rest to the dead; to your holy Church peace and concord; and to us sinners everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

There is no dismissal. All may stay to pray or leave in silence.

You are invited to join us for Choral Evensong at 7:00 p.m. this evening as we continue reflecting on the Cross.

Please keep this booklet for the continuation of the Triduum, which resumes tomorrow at 8:01 p.m. (sunset) with the Easter Vigil liturgy, or return it to an usher. If you are attending the Easter Vigil, you are invited to bring a bell.

19 The Great Vigil of Easter The Great Vigil of Easter is the most solemn and ancient liturgy of the entire year. It is the culmination of Lent and Holy Week, and the Triduum. The service consists of four parts: The Service of Light, in which new fire is kindled to light the Paschal (Easter) Candle. The Service of Lessons, in which God’s saving deeds in history are retold; Holy Baptism, in which believers commit themselves to the Christian way; and The Holy Eucharist, which breaks the Lenten fast with the proclamation of the Easter Alleluia and the first celebration of the Eucharist since Maundy Thursday. The vesture of the sacred ministers is white, symbolizing the light of Christ.

Ring the bells! Worshippers at the Great Vigil of Easter are encouraged to bring with them any sort of hand-held bell they would like to ring as we sing the Gloria in Excelsis at the beginning of the first Eucharist of Easter and during the singing of Jesus Christ is Risen Today. This is our way of participating in the tradition of silencing church bells on Maundy Thursday and ringing them again on Easter Day. The custom likely reflects even more ancient habits of keeping silence before a spring equinox or a winter solstice, then celebrating it with a joyous celebration of light and sound announcing that the darkness has fled and that new life is coming back into the world. —The Society of Saint John the Evangelist

20 THE GREAT VIGIL OF EASTER Saturday, March 31, 2018 • Eight o’ one in the Evening (Sunset)

The Lighting of the Paschal Candle

In darkness, fire is kindled. The People stand as the fire is brought to the rear of the Nave.

Dear friends in Christ: On this most holy night, in which our Lord Jesus passed over from death to life, the Church invites her members, dispersed throughout the world, to gather in vigil and prayer. For this is the Passover of the Lord, in which, by hearing his Word and celebrating his Sacraments, we share in his victory over death.

Let us pray. O God, through your Son you have bestowed upon your people the brightness of your light: Sanctify this new fire, and grant that in this Paschal feast we may so burn with heavenly desires, that with pure minds we may attain to the festival of everlasting light; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Celebrant inscribes the Paschal Candle with a cross, the Greek letters Alpha and Omega, and the year of our Lord, saying:

Christ yesterday and today, the Beginning and the End. Alpha and Omega. To God belong all times and all seasons, to God be glory and dominion through all ages of eternity. Amen.

The Celebrant then places five grains of incense, one each into the center and four points of the traced cross, saying “Through his holy and glorious wounds may Christ the Lord guard and preserve us.” A taper is lighted from the New Fire and the Celebrant lights the Paschal Candle, saying: “May the light of Christ gloriously rising dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds.

The Deacon, bearing the Candle, leads the procession to the chancel, pausing three times and singing Deacon People

The light of Christ. Thanks be to God.

During the procession, the Peoples’ candles are lighted.

The Exsultet

Rejoice now, heavenly hosts and choirs of angels, and let your trumpets shout Salvation for the victory of our mighty King. Rejoice and sing now, all the round earth, bright with a glorious splendor, for darkness has been vanquished by our eternal King. Rejoice and be glad now, Mother Church, and let your holy courts, in radiant light, resound with the praises of your people.

All you who stand near this marvelous and holy flame, pray with me to God the Almighty for the grace to sing the worthy praise of this great light; through Jesus Christ his Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. A - men. 21 Deacon

The Lord be with you.

People

And al - so with you. Deacon

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People

It is right to give him thanks and praise.

It is truly right and good, always and everywhere, with our whole heart and mind and voice, to praise you, the invisible, almighty, and eternal God, and your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who at the feast of the Passover paid for us the debt of Adam’s sin, and by his blood delivered your faithful people.

his is the night, when you brought our ancestors, the children of Israel, out of bondage Tin Egypt, and led them through the Red Sea on dry land. This is the night, when all who believe in Christ are delivered from the gloom of sin, and are restored to grace and holiness of life. This is the night, when Christ broke the bonds of death and hell, and rose victorious from the grave.

How wonderful and beyond our knowing, O God, is your mercy and loving-kindness to us, that to redeem a slave, you gave a Son.

How holy is this night, when wickedness is put to flight, and sin is washed away. It restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to those who mourn. It casts out pride and hatred, and brings peace and concord. How blessed is this night, when earth and heaven are joined and we are reconciled to God.

Holy Father, accept our evening sacrifice, the offering of this candle in your honor. May it shine continually to drive away all darkness. May Christ, the Morning Star who knows no setting, find it ever burning—he who gives his light to all creation, and who lives and reigns, for ever and ever. A - men.

The Liturgy of the Word

Let us hear the record of God’s saving deeds in history, how he saved his people in ages past; and let us pray that our God will bring each of us the fullness of redemption.

The People sit and remain seated for the lessons and musical responses, and stand for the collects.

The Sermon The Right Reverend Thomas E. Breidenthal Bishop of Southern Ohio

Presentation and Examination of the Candidates for Holy Baptism

The Celebrant says The Candidates for Holy Baptism will now be presented.

The service continues on page 301 in The Book of Common Prayer.

After the presentation and examination, All stand as the Celebrant addresses the People saying Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support these persons in their life in Christ? We will.

Let us join with those who are committing themselves to Christ and renew our own baptismal covenant.

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

26 Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God? 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.

Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? 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.

Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers? I will, with God’s help.

Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? I will, with God’s help.

Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? I will, with God’s help.

Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? I will, with God’s help.

Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? I will, with God’s help.

The Celebrant then says to the congregation Let us now pray for these persons who are to receive the Sacrament of new birth.

Deliver them, O Lord, from the way of sin and death.

Lord, hear our prayer.

Open their hearts to your grace and truth. Lord, hear our prayer. (sing as above)

Fill them with your holy and life-giving Spirit. Lord, hear our prayer.

Keep them in the faith and communion of your holy Church. Lord, hear our prayer.

Teach them to love others in the power of the Spirit. Lord, hear our prayer.

27 Send them into the world in witness to your love. Lord, hear our prayer.

Bring them to the fullness of your peace and glory. Lord, hear our prayer.

Grant, O Lord, that all who are baptized into the death of Jesus Christ your Son may live in the power of his resurrection and look for him to come again in glory; who lives and reigns now and forever. Amen.

The Celebrant blesses the water, first saying

People

The Lord be with you. And al - so with you.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People

It is right to give him thanks and praise.

The Celebrant continues. At the following words, the Celebrant touches the water, saying

Now sanctify this water, we pray you, by the power of your Holy Spirit, that those who here are cleansed from sin and born again may continue for ever in the risen life of Jesus Christ our Savior. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, now and for ever. A - men.

The Baptism

Each candidate is presented by name to the Celebrant, who then pours water upon them, saying I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Then the Celebrant places a hand on the forehead of each candidate, marking the sign of the cross and saying You are sealed by the Holy Spirit in Baptism and marked as Christ’s own for ever. Amen.

When this action has been completed for all candidates, the Celebrant prays over them, saying

Let us pray. Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit you have bestowed upon these your servants the forgiveness of sin, and have raised them to the new life of grace. Sustain them, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit. Give them an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the gift of joy and wonder in all your works. Amen.

28 Let us welcome the newly baptized. Celebrant and People We receive you into the household of God. Confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim his resurrection, and share with us in his eternal priesthood.

Amen.

30 The Epistle

A reading from the Letter of Paul to the Romans. Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will cer- tainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:3-11 (NRSV) The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Hymn at the Sequence 187 Through the Red Sea brought at last

31 The Holy X Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.

Glo - ry to you, Lord Christ.

When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. 16:1-8 (NRSV) The Gospel of the Lord.

Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Peace

The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

The People reconcile with their neighbors and greet one another in the name of the Lord.

Anthem at the Preparation My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up my love, my fair one, and come away. For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. The figtree putteth forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise my love, my fair one, and come away.

All who are drawn to God’s table through the waters of baptism are welcome to receive Holy Communion. When you come to the railing, you may either stand or kneel.
