+ THE LITURGY OF THE WORD +

THE FIRST READING Exodus 12:1-14 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 frst 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 . They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts 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 fre with unleavened bread and biter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fre, 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 staf 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 frstborn 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.

Lector Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people. People Thanks be to God.

PSALM 116:1, 10-17 Anglican Chant Dilexi, quoniam 1 I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, * because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him. 10 How shall I repay the Lord * for all the good things he has done for me?

3 11 I will lift up the cup of salvation * and call upon the Name of the Lord. 12 I will fulfll my vows to the Lord * in the presence of all his people. 13 Precious in the sight of the Lord * is the death of his servants. 14 O Lord, I am your servant; * I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. 15 I will ofer you the sacrifce of thanksgiving * and call upon the Name of the Lord. 16 I will fulfll my vows to the Lord * in the presence of all his people, 17 In the courts of the Lord’s house, * in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

THE GOSPEL John 13:1-17, 31b-35 Celebrant The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Now 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 of 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. 4 "Now the Son of Man has been glorifed, and God has been glorifed in him. If God has been glorifed in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Litle children, I am with you only a litle longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the religious leaders, 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."

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

THE SERMON The Rev. Jarret Kerbel

INVITATION TO THE FOOTWASHING Celebrant Fellow servants of our Lord Jesus Christ: On the night before his death, Jesus set an example for his disciples by washing their feet, an act of humble service. He taught that strength and growth in the life of of God come not by power, authority, or even miracle, but by such lowly service. We all need to remember his example, but none stand more in need of this reminder than those whom the Lord has called to the ordained ministry.

Therefore, I invite the whole congregation to come forward, that we may recall whose servants we are by following the example of our Master. But come remembering his admonition that what will be done for you is also to be done by you to others, for “a servant is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”

THE FOOTWASHING

Two members of the congregation will wash feet and have their feet washed as representative of the whole congregation. The assembly will watch, pray and contemplate the love and compassion of the holy action given to us by our Lord.

MUSIC DURING THE FOOTWASHING Ubi Caritas Durufé

THE PEACE Celebrant The peace of the Lord be always with you. People And also with you.

OFFERTORY ANTHEM Verily, Verily I Say unto You Thomas Tallis

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING Eucharistic Prayer A, BCP p. 361. Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Lift up your hearts. People We lift them to the Lord. Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People It is right to give our thanks and praise. Celebrant It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

The Priest adds a proper preface….

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

SANCTUS & BENEDICTUS Plainsong Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

The Celebrant continues... Celebrant Holy and gracious Father: In your infnite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

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

On the night he was handed over to sufering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me."

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, "Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: 6 People Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. Celebrant We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifce of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we ofer 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 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 forever.

People Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER Celebrant And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, People 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.

THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD Celebrant Christ our Passover is sacrifced for us. People Therefore let us keep the feast.

AGNUS DEI Plainsong Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

COMMUNION MOTET Ave Verum Corpus (1857-1934) 7 POST COMMUNION PRAYER – THE ANIMA CHRISTI People Jesus may all that is in you fow into me. May your body and blood be my food and drink. May your passion and death be my strength and life. May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross. Let me not run from the love you extend. Hold me safe from the forces of evil. On each of my dyings shed your light and your love. Until with your saints I may praise you forever. Amen. (a paraphrase by David Fleming SJ, Edited) THE STRIPPING OF THE ALTAR During the psalm, the ministers and Altar Guild clear the altar and church of all appointments. Consecrated bread and wine, to be administered at tomorrow’s Good Friday service, are left on the altar.

PSALM 88 Plainsong Dilexi, quoniam 1 O Lord God of my salvation, * I have cried day and night before thee: 2 O let my prayer enter into thy presence; * incline thine ear unto my calling. 3 For my soul is full of trouble; * and my life draweth nigh unto hell. 4 I am counted as one of them that go down into the pit; * and I have been even as a man that hath no strength; 5 Free among the dead, * like unto them that are wounded, and lie in the grave, 6 Who are out of remembrance, * and are cut away from thy hand. 7 Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit: * in a place of darkness, and in the deep. 8 Thine indignation lieth hard upon me, * and thou hast vexed me with all thy storms. 9 Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; and made me to be abhorred of them; * I am so fast in prison: that I cannot get forth. 10 My sight faileth for very trouble; * Lord, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched forth my hands unto thee. 11 Dost thou shew wonders among the dead? * or shall the dead rise up again, and praise thee? 12 Shall thy loving-kindness be shewed in the grave? * or thy faithfulness in destruction? 13 Shall they wondrous works be down in the dark? * 8 and thy righteousness in the land where all things are forgoten? 14 Unto thee have I cried, O Lord; * and early shall my prayer come before thee. 15 Lord, why abhorrest thou my soul? * and hidest thou thy face from me? 16 I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die, * even from my youth up thy terrors have I sufered with a troubled mind. 17 Thy wrathful displeasure goeth over me; * and the fear of thee hath undone me; 18 They came round about me daily like water; * and compassed me together on ev’ry side. 19 My lovers and friends hast thou put away from me, * and hid mine acquaintance out of my sight.

After the altar is stripped bare, all remain kneeling as are able.
