Collect of the Day
O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our
understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all
things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can
desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

First Reading
Acts 11:19-30
Now those who were scattered because of the persecution that arose over Stephen
traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one
except Jews. 20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who on
coming to Antioch spoke to the Hellenists also, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21 And
the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the
Lord. 22 The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent
Barnabas to Antioch. 23 When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and
he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose, 24 for
he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people
were added to the Lord. 25 So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, 26 and when
he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the
church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called
Christians.
27
Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 And one of
them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great
famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius). 29 So the disciples
determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers living in
Judea. 30 And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
OR
Isaiah 45:11-13,18-19(20-25)
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: “Ask me
of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of
my hands? 12 I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched
out the heavens, and I commanded all their host. 13 I have stirred him up in righ-
1 4
 teousness, and I will make all his ways level; he shall build my city and set my exiles
free, not for price or reward,” says the LORD of hosts.
18
For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (he is God!), who formed the
earth and made it (he established it; he did not create it empty, he formed it to be
inhabited!): “I am the LORD, and there is no other. 19 I did not speak in secret, in
a land of darkness; I did not say to the offspring of Jacob, ‘Seek me in vain.’ I the
LORD speak the truth; I declare what is right.
( 20 “Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you survivors of the nations!
They have no knowledge who carry about their wooden idols, and keep on praying
to a god that cannot save. 21 Declare and present your case; let them take counsel
together! Who told this long ago? Who declared it of old? Was it not I, the LORD?
And there is no other god besides me, a righteous God and a Savior; there is none
besides me.
22
“Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is
no other. 23 By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness
a word that shall not return: ‘To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear
allegiance.’ 24 “Only in the LORD, it shall be said of me, are righteousness and
strength; to him shall come and be ashamed all who were incensed against him. 25 In
the LORD all the offspring of Israel shall be justified and shall glory.”)
Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
Psalter Verses
(In said services, the psalm verses may be placed between the Epistle and the Gospel, with
the congregation standing in preparation for the Gospel. At services where there is a hymn
or canticle before the Gospel, the psalm might be said between the Old Testament and
Epistle, the people seated.)
Psalm 33 or 33:1-8,18-21
1
Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous; *
it is fitting for the just to be thankful.
2
Praise the LORD with the harp; *
sing praises unto him with the ten-stringed lute.
3
Sing unto him a new song; *
make skillful melody and cry aloud with joy.
4
For the word of the LORD is true, *
and all his works are faithful.
5
He loves righteousness and true judgment; *
the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, *
and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
7
He gathers the waters of the sea together, as in a heap, *
and lays up the deep, as in a treasure house.
8
Let all the earth fear the LORD; *
5 2
 stand in awe of him, all you that dwell in the world.
( 9 For he spoke, and it was done; *
he commanded and it stood fast.
10
The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to naught; *
he makes the devices of the peoples to be of no effect, and casts out the counsels
of princes.
11
The counsel of the LORD shall endure for ever, *
and the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, *
and blessed are the people he has chosen for himself to be his inheritance.
13
The LORD looks down from heaven and beholds all the children of men; *
from the habitation of his dwelling he considers all those who dwell on the earth.
14
He fashions all the hearts of them *
and understands all their works.
15
There is no king who can be saved by a mighty host; *
neither is any mighty man delivered by great strength.
16
A horse is considered a vain hope to save a man; *
neither shall it deliver anyone by its great strength.
17
Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon those who fear him, *
and upon those who put their trust in his mercy, )
18
To deliver their soul from death, *
and to feed them in the time of famine.
19
Our soul has patiently waited for the LORD, *
for he is our help and our shield.
20
Our heart shall rejoice in him, *
because we have hoped in his holy Name.
21
Let your merciful kindness, O LORD, be upon us, *
as we have put our trust in you.

Epistle Reading
1 John 4:7-21
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been
born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God,
because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God
sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love,
not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propiti-
ation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is
perfected in us.
13
By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of
his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the
Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides
3 6
 in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God
has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in
him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day
of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love,
but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears
has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says,
“I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother
whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this command-
ment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Reader: The word of the Lord.
People: Thanks be to God.
The Holy Gospel
Deacon: The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, according to St. John.
People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.
John 15:9-17
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my
commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's command-
ments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be
in you, and that your joy may be full.
12
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Great-
er love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. 14 You are
my friends if you do what I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for the
servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all
that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose
me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that
your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give
it to you. 17 These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord.
People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for

During the Offertory a hymn, psalm, or anthem may be sung. The Deacon
or Priest prepares the Holy Table for the celebration. Representatives of the
Congregation may bring the People’s offerings of bread and wine, and money or
other gifts, to the Deacon or Priest.

The People stand while the offerings are presented. The following may be said.

The Celebrant continues

It is right, our duty and our joy, always and everywhere to give

Here a Proper Preface (pages 152-158) is normally sung or said
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and
Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever

t h e p ray e r of c on s e c rat ion

The People stand or kneel. The Celebrant continues

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us

for yourself; and when we had sinned against you and become
12
subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent your only Son
Jesus Christ into the world for our salvation. By the Holy Spirit
and the Virgin Mary he became flesh and dwelt among us. In
obedience to your will, he stretched out his arms upon the Cross
and offered himself once for all, that by his suffering and death
we might be saved. By his resurrection he broke the bonds of
death, trampling Hell and Satan under his feet. As our great
high priest, he ascended to your right hand in glory, that we
might come with confidence before the throne of grace.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay
a hand upon it, and here* may break the bread; and at the words concerning the
cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing the wine
to be consecrated.
On the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took
bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it,* and gave
it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat; this is my Body, which is
given for you: Do this in remembrance of me.”
Likewise, after supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you;
for 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 in remembrance of me.”
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Celebrant and People

Christ has died.

Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this
sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and we offer you these gifts.
13
Sanctify them by your Word and Holy Spirit to be for your
people the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Sanctify
us also, that we may worthily receive this holy Sacrament, and
be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us and we in
him. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under
your Christ, and bring us with all your saints into the joy of your
heavenly kingdom, where we shall see our Lord face to face.
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.

t h e l or d’s pray e r
The Celebrant then says

And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to
pray:
Celebrant and People together pray
