THE FIRST LESSON Isaiah 60:1–6 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daugh- ters shall be carried in the arms. Then you shall see and be radiant, your heart shall thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord.

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

PSALM 72:1–7, 10–14 Deus, judicium Plainsong 1 Give the King thy judgments, O God: and thy righteousness unto the king’s son. 2 Then shall he judge thy people according unto right: and defend the poor. 3 The mountains also shall bring peace: and the little hills righteousness unto the people. 4 He shall keep the simple folk by their right: defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrong-doer. 5 They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endureth: from one generation to another.

6 He shall come down like the rain into a fleece of wool: even as the drops that water the earth. 7 In his time shall the righteous flourish: yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth. 10 The kings of Tharsis and of the isles shall give presents: the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts. 11 All kings shall fall down before him: all nations shall do him service. 12 For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth: the needy also, and him that hath no helper. 13 He shall be favorable to the simple and needy: and shall preserve the souls of the poor. 14 He shall deliver their souls from falsehood and wrong: and dear shall their blood be in his sight.

THE SECOND LESSON Ephesians 3:1–12 For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles—assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for you, how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I have written briefly. When you read this you can perceive my insight into the mystery of Christ, which was not made known to the sons of men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; that is, how the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal pur- pose which he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in him.

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

All stand for the proclamation of the Holy Gospel.

ALLELUIA Vidimus stellam

V. We have seen his star in the East: and are come with offerings to worship the LORD. (Matt. 2:2)

THE GOSPEL Matthew 2:1–12 Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And with thy spirit. Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory be to thee, O Lord.

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him.” When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it is written by the prophet: ‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.’” Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star appeared; and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.” When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way.

Celebrant The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise be to thee, O Christ.

THE SERMON Father Kyle Babin

All stand.

THE NICENE CREED Celebrant I believe in one God, People the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, (genuflect) and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; (rise) and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets. And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins;

and I look for the resurrection of the dead,  and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE Celebrant Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church and the world.

The Celebrant concludes with

THE BLESSING OF CHALK Loving God, bless this chalk which thou hast created, that it may be helpful to thy people; and grant that, through the invocation of thy most Holy Name, we who use it in faith to write upon the door of our home the names of thy holy ones Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar may receive health of body and protection of soul for all who dwell in or visit our home; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE HOLY COMMUNION

OFFERTORY ANTIPHON Reges Tharsis Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And with thy spirit. Celebrant Let us pray.

The Kings of Tharsis and of the isles shall give presents; the Kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts: all Kings shall fall down before him; all nations shall do him service. (Ps. 72:10–11)

ANTHEM Peter Cornelius (1824–1874) Three Kings from Persian lands afar to Jordan follow the pointing star: and this the quest of the travellers three, where the new-born King of the Jews may be. Full royal gifts they bear for the King; Gold, incense, myrrh are their offering.

How brightly shines the morning star! With grace and truth from heaven afar our Jesse tree now bloweth. 8

The star shines out with a steadfast ray; the kings to Bethlehem make their way, and there in worship they bend the knee, as Mary’s child in her lap they see; their royal gifts they show to the King; gold, incense, myrrh are their offering.

Of Jacob’s stem and David’s line, for thee, my Bridegroom, King divine, my soul with love o’erfloweth.

Thou child of man, lo, to Bethlehem the Kings are travelling, travel with them! The star of mercy, the star of grace, shall lead thy heart to its resting place. Gold, incense, myrrh thou canst not bring; offer thy heart to the infant King.

Thy word, Jesu, inly feeds us, rightly leads us, life bestowing. Praise, O praise such love o’erflowing.

Peter Cornelius and Philipp Nicolai (1556–1608)

In keeping with the most current restrictions due to the coronavirus, only the consecrated Bread will be consumed by those who wish to receive the Sacrament. At Communion, please fall into a line in the center aisle, using the markers on the floor to keep distance from others. Please keep your mask on until you have received the Sacrament in your hand, step aside, remove your mask, and then consume the Sacrament. If you do not wish to receive the Sacrament, kindly indicate this by crossing your arms over your chest, and the Priest will offer a blessing. If you are unable to come forward to receive, the Priest will bring Communion to you. If you desire to receive the Sacrament in gluten-free form, please indicate this to the Priest. To receive Communion, kindly extend your hands and raise them slightly so that the Celebrant might safely place the consecrated Bread in your palm. For safety precautions, Communion on the tongue will be temporarily suspended until further notice.

Those who are unable to worship in person are invited to pray the following prayer while the People receive the Sacrament.

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION I worship thee, Lord Jesus, and kneeling unto thee, as thou didst come to Mary, I pray thee come to me. O most loving Jesus, O most blessed Savior, come to me, I beseech thee, and unite me to thyself. Though I cannot now receive thee sacramentally, yet I believe that thou art able, even when received by faith and desire only, to heal, enrich and sanctify me. Come thou spiritually into my heart. I desire to unite myself to thee with all the affections of my soul. Possess me wholly; let the consuming fire of thy love absorb me, and thy presence abide so intimately in me, that it will be no longer I that live, but thou who livest in me. Amen.
