Slowly,. signs ------Crossing X In the Western church tradition, the right hand is held flat with the palm facing the body. The hand moves to the forehead, then heart; to the left shoulder, then the right. As a matter of individual piety, a cross may be made at a personally profound moment within a liturgy, but there are certain places where it is more commonly executed: • as the priest speaks the opening acclamation, • when pronouncing the Trinitarian name of God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit), • at the proclamation of the Gospel*, • at the conclusion of the Nicene Creed, • at the mention of the dead during the Prayers of the People, • as the priest pronounces Absolution or forgiveness of sins, • when the consecrated Bread is raised, • when the chalice is raised, • after receiving the bread and the wine, and • at the final blessing.

*At the proclamation of the Gospel, it has become tradition to trace a small cross with the right thumb on the forehead, mouth, and heart, so as to remind ourselves that the Gospel should be held in the mind, spoken on the lips, and believed in the heart.

Bowing There are essentially two bows: bow of the head (simple bow) A bend of the head with the eyes directed toward the floor. solemn bow (or profound bow) A bow at the waist with the head and eyes lowered. Both bows are used to acknowledge the sacredness of an object or person. They must be ex- ecuted deliberately and with grace and respect. Also, the eyes should always be cast down. Throughout Scripture, when people realize they are encountering God, they instinctively avert their gaze. In regards to the bow of the head, it has become tradition for the assembly to bow at the name of Jesus, but not for Christ. This is to esteem God for humbling Godself to take on human flesh for the sake of humankind. The term “Christ” was an honorific rare- ly used to describe Jesus’ during his life. People may also bow the head when passing the High Altar, at the processing cross, or at the name of Mary. The solemn bow is TERMS: generally used to reverence the altar when the Sacrament (Bread and Wine) are not placed upon it, during the Nicene Creed, and at moments of great solemnity.

¶ The People kneel

Hear the commandments of God to his people: I am the Lord your God who brought you out of bondage. You shall have no other gods but me. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not make for yourself any idol. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not invoke with malice the Name of the Lord your God. Amen. Lord have mercy. Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy. Amen. Lord have mercy. Honor your father and your mother. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not commit murder. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not commit adultery. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not steal. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not be a false witness. Amen. Lord have mercy. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor. Amen. Lord have mercy.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. But if we confess our sins, God, who is faithful and just, will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 5

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.

¶ Silence may be kept 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 hum- bly 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.

Almighty God, you alone can bring into order the unruly wills and affections of sinners: Grant your people grace to love what you command and desire what you promise; that, among the swift and varied changes of the world, our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

HE FIRST LESSON Thus says the Lord, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, who brings out chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot Trise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: Do not remember the former things, or consider the things of old. I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. The wild animals will honour me, the jackals and the ostriches; for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself so that they might declare my praise. Isaiah 43:16-21 NRSV The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 6

he GRADUAL T¶ The cantor sings the following refrain, then all repeat

The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad in - deed.

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, then were we like those who dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy. Then they said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad indeed. Refrain

Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the watercourses of the Negev. Those who sowed with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying the seed, will come again with joy, shoul- dering their sheaves. Psalm 126 Refrain

HE SECOND LESSON If anyone else has reason to be confident in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, a member of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, Ta Hebrew born of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. Yet whatever gains I had, these I have come to regard as loss because of Christ. More than that, I regard everything as loss because of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and I regard them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God based on faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the sharing of his suf- ferings by becoming like him in his death, if somehow I may attain the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained this or have already reached the goal; but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Beloved, I do not consider that I have made it my own; but this one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:4b-14 NRSV The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Mary in the mind, spoken on the took a pound of costly perfume made of pure nard, anointed Jesus’ feet, lips, and believed in the heart. and wiped them with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was about to betray him), said, “Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?” (He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the common purse and used to steal what was put into it.) Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.” 12:1-8 NRSV The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

This was particularly so for the Eucharistic Prayer.

¶ Facing the congregation, the Celebrant says an Invitation to Communion.

¶ All who are drawn to God’s table through the waters of baptism are welcome to receive Holy Communion. When you come forward, the wafer will be placed in your palm. You may either consume the host immedi- ately 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.
