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 rarely 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 aumbry: recessed cabinet not placed upon it, during the Nicene Creed, and at moments of great solemnity. for storing sacred vessels and vest- The Genuflection ments The body is lowered onto the right knee, which is brought all the way to the tabernacle*: ground, while the torso remains upright.

¶ 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.

Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. 5

¶ 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 have mercy on you, X forgive you all your sins through our Lord The People may Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit cross them- selves as the keep you in eternal life. Amen. Presider pro- nounces ¶ The People stand forgiveness.

he first Lesson The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new cove- nant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made Twith their ancestors when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt—a cove- nant that they broke, though I was their husband, says the Lord. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No longer shall they teach one another, or say to each other, “Know the Lord,” for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, says the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:31-34 NRSV The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

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

Hap - py are they who walk in the law of the Lord.

How shall a young man cleanse his way? By keeping to your words. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not stray from your commandments. I treasure your promise in my heart, that I may not sin against you. Blessed are you, O Lord; instruct me in your statutes. Refrain

With my lips will I recite all the judgments of your mouth. I have taken greater delight in the way of your decrees than in all manner of riches. I will meditate on your commandments and give attention to your ways. My delight is in your statutes; I will not forget your word. Refrain Psalm 119:9-16

he Second Lesson Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest, but was appoint- ed by the one who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; as he says also Tin another place, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.” In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and having been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him, having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:5-10 NRSV The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 7

Very tru- ly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.

Whoever serves me, the Father will honor. “Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.” He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. John 12:20-33 NRSV The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

¶ Following the sermon, the People stand The Nicene Creed WE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

¶ 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.
