victorious is he, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a

donkey. Zechariah 9.9

COLLECT

Stir up, we pray you, O Lord,

the wills of your faithful people,

that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works,

may by you be plenteously rewarded;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A READING FROM THE PROPHET JEREMIAH Jeremiah 23.1-6

Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my

pasture! says the Lord . Therefore, thus says the Lord , the God of

Israel, concerning the shepherds who shepherd my people: It is

you who have scattered my flock, and have driven them away, and

you have not attended to them. So I will attend to you for your evil

doings, says the Lord . Then I myself will gather the remnant of

my flock out of all the lands where I have driven them, and I will

bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and

multiply. I will raise up shepherds over them who will shepherd

them, and they shall not fear any longer, or be dismayed, nor shall

any be missing, says the Lord . The days are surely coming, says

the Lord , when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and

he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and

righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and

Israel will live in safety. And this is the name by which he will be

called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness.’

For the word of the Lord Thanks be to God

Psalm 46

1 God is our |refuge . and | strength:

a very |present | help in |trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear though the |earth be | moved:

and though the mountains are | shaken . in the |midst . of the | sea.

3+ Though the waters | rage and | foam:

and though the mountains quake at the |rising |of the | sea.

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the | city of | God:

the holy dwelling-place | of the | Most | High.

5 God is in the midst of her

therefore she shall | not be | moved:

God will | help her . and at | break of | day.

6 The nations make uproar and the | kingdoms . are | shaken:

but God has lifted his | voice . and the | earth shall | tremble.

7 The Lord of| hosts is |with us:

the God of |Jacob |is our |stronghold. 8 Come then and see what the | Lord has | done:

what destruction he has | brought up|on the | earth.

9 He makes wars to cease in | all the | world:

he breaks the bow and shatters the spear

and burns the | chariots | in the | fire.

10 'Be still and know that |I am | God:

I will be exalted among the nations

I will be ex|alted . up|on the | earth.'

11 The Lord of|hosts is |with us:

the God of |Jacob |is our |stronghold.

A READING FROM THE SECOND LETTER OF PAUL TO THE

COLOSSIANS Colossians 1.11-20

May you be made strong with all the strength that comes from his

glorious power, and may you be prepared to endure everything with

patience, while joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled

you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has rescued

us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his

beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He

is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; for in him

all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and

invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things

have been created through him and for him. He himself is before all

things, and in him all things hold together. He is the head of the body,

the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he

might come to have first place in everything. For in him all the fullness

of God was pleased to dwell, and through him God was pleased to

reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making

peace through the blood of his cross.

For the word of the Lord Thanks be to God

Gradual: 129 King of Glory

GOSPEL

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Stand erect and raise your heads

because your redemption is at hand.

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

The Lord be with you and also with you.

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke Luke 23.33-43

Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ

When they came to the place that is called The Skull, they crucified

Jesus there with the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. Then

Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are

doing.’ And they cast lots to divide his clothing. And the people stood

by, watching; but the leaders scoffed at him, saying, ‘He saved others; let

him save himself if he is the Messiah of God, his chosen one!’ The

soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine, and

saying, ‘If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!’ There was also

an inscription over him, ‘This is the King of the Jews.’ One of the

criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, ‘Are you

not the Messiah? Save yourself and us!’ But the other rebuked him,

saying, ‘Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of

condemnation? And we indeed have been condemned justly, for we are

getting what we deserve for our deeds, but this man has done nothing

wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your

kingdom.’ He replied, ‘Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in

Paradise.’

For the Gospel of the Lord Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ
