PRELUDE PROCESSIONAL HYMN — 477 INTROIT— Laetare. Isaiah 66. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem; and be ye glad for her, all ye that delight in her: exult and sing for joy with her, all ye that in sadness mourn of her; that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations. Psalm 122. I was glad when thy said unto me: we will go into the house of the Lord. Glory be to the Father, and to Son: and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Rejoice ye with Jerusalem . . .
COLLECTS LENT III — We beseech thee, Almighty God, look upon the hearty desires of thy humble servants, and stretch forth the right hand of thy Majesty, to be our defense against all our enemies; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen LENTEN SEASON — Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou hast made, and dost forgive the sins of all those who are penitent; Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness. Through thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who with thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, liveth and reigneth God, world without end. Amen The Congregation may be seated.
EPISTLE — Galatians IV, 21: BRETHREN: Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free. MINISTER: (may say) Here endeth the Epistle.
Response: Thanks be
to
God.
GRADUAL — Psalm 122. I was glad when they said unto me: we will go into the house of the Lord. Peace be with-in thy walls: and plenteousness with-in thy palaces.
TRACT — Psalm 125. They that put their trust in the Lord, shall be even as the mount Syon: which may not be removed, but standeth fast for ever. The hills stand about Jerusalem: even so standeth the Lord round about his people: from this time forth for evermore.
MINISTER: PEOPLE: MINISTER: PEOPLE:
The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. The continuation of the Holy Gospel according to . . . Glory be to thee O Lord.
And with thy Spi- rit.
Glo-ry be to thee, O Lord.
GOSPEL — St. John VI, 1: At that time: After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. MINISTER: (may say) The Gospel of the Lord.
RESPONSE: Praise be to Thee, O Christ.
