The Collect of the Day

Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

The Lesson Revelation 7:9-17 Seated After this I, John, looked, and there was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languag- es, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the angels stood around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, singing, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wis- dom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God 2 forever and ever! Amen.” Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from?” I said to him, “Sir, you are the one that knows.” Then he said to me, “These are they who have come out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. “For this reason they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

Chanted by the choir Psalm 34:1-10, 22 (Anglican chant) Thomas Norris I will bless the Lord at all times; * his praise shall ever be in my mouth. I will glory in the Lord; * let the humble hear and rejoice. Proclaim with me the greatness of the Lord; * let us exalt his Name together. I sought the Lord, and he answered me * and delivered me out of all my terror. Look upon him and be radiant, * and let not your faces be ashamed. I called in my affliction and the Lord heard me * and saved me from all my troubles. The angel of the Lord encompasses those who fear him, * and he will deliver them. Taste and see that the Lord is good; * happy are they who trust in him! Fear the Lord, you that are his saints, * for those who fear him lack nothing. The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. The Lord ransoms the life of his servants, * and none will be punished who trust in him.

3 Sequence Hymn Standing, Sung by the Choir Hymn 656 “Blest are the pure in heart ” Franconia

The Gospel Matthew 5:1-12 Gospeler The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

Gospeler The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. 4 Seated The Sermon The Reverend Dr. Christopher D. Girata

Standing The Renewal of Baptismal Vows Celebrant Through the Paschal mystery, dear friends, we are buried with Christ by Baptism into his death, and raised with him to newness of life. I call upon you, therefore, to renew the solemn promises and vows of Holy Baptism, by which we once renounced Satan and all his works, and promised to serve God faithfully in his holy Catholic Church. Celebrant Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to Jesus Christ? People I do.

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

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

Celebrant Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? People 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.

Celebrant Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers? People I will, with God’s help. Celebrant Will you persevere in resisting evil, and , whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? People I will, with God’s help. Celebrant Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ? 5 People I will, with God’s help. Celebrant Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself? People I will, with God’s help. Celebrant Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being? People I will, with God’s help.

Celebrant May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

But timorous mortals start and shrink, To cross this narrow sea; 7 And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. O! Could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes!

Sursum corda chanted by the Celebrant and the Choir.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

8 For in the multitude of your saints you have surrounded us with a great cloud of witnesses, that we might rejoice in their fellowship, and run with endurance the race that is set before us; and, together with them, receive the crown of glory that never fades away. 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: Sung by the Choir Hymn S 130 Sanctus and Benedictus Franz Schubert

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus At the following words concerning Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given the words concerning the cup, to for you.

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. AMEN.

10 And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

When we think about the things we spend money on, they are invariably the things that matter most to us. Continually giving sacrificially to the church, Saint Michael in particular, has helped connect us in deep and intricate ways to this body of believers and the work that is being done through them for the kingdom. Particularly during a time of increased isolation, we have felt connected to a mission and ministry as we give back resources that God has entrusted us with to help further His kingdom.

Saint Michael and All Angels Stewardship Prayer for Generosity 2021
