Holy Eucharist
November 28, 2022
1st Sunday of Advent
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our
hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit that we may
perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lessons:
In days to come
the mountain of the LORD’s house
shall be established as the highest of the mountains,
and shall be raised above the hills;
all the nations shall stream to it.
Many peoples shall come and say,
‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
that he may teach us his ways
and that we may walk in his paths.’
For out of Zion shall go forth instruction,
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
He shall judge between the nations,
and shall arbitrate for many peoples;
they shall beat their swords into ploughshares,
and their spears into pruning-hooks;
nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more.
O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the LORD!
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God
Psalm 122: Janet Voss
Jesus said to the disciples, “But about that day and hour no
one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only
the Father. For as the days of Noah were, so will be the
coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the
flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in
marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they knew
nothing until the flood came and swept them all away, so too
will be the coming of the Son of Man. Then two will be in the
field; one will be taken and one will be left. Two women will
be grinding meal together; one will be taken and one will be
left. Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what day
your Lord is coming. But understand this: if the owner of the
house had known in what part of the night the thief was
coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have let
his house be broken into. Therefore, you also must be ready,
for the Son of Man is coming at an unexpected hour. The
Gospel of the Lord! Praise to you Lord Christ!

Eucharistic Prayer B
On the night before he died for us, 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."
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.
And may add- Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you,
and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
Let us pray.
