KYRIE ELEISON “Lord, Have Mercy” (The St. Mary Mass) CARL MAULTSBY

SALUTATION AND COLLECT OF THE DAY Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you.

Celebrant Let us pray. O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

THE FIRST READING Zechariah 9:9-12

Rejoice greatly, O daughter Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter Jerusalem!

Lo, your king comes to you; triumphant and victorious is he,

humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

He will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem;

and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall command peace to the nations;

his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

Return to your stronghold, O prisoners of hope; today I declare that I will restore to you double.

(Silence) Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God.

THE EPISTLE READING Romans 7:15-25a I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! (Silence) Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. People Thanks be to God. SEQUENCE HYMN “Come to me, ye who are hard oppressed” Traditional, ARR. R. NATHANIEL DETT

THE HOLY GOSPEL Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30 Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said to the crowd, “To what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon’; the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.” At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Gospeller The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. SERMON NICENE CREED Book of Common Prayer, p. 358

All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

OFFERTORY ANTHEM “Shine on Me” ARR. JAMES ABINGTON Bryant Williams, tenor

At the offertory, we gratefully offer back to God some of what God has given us in the money we give.

All are invited to make a gift to support the St. Richard’s ministry of sharing God’s love with the world by making an online donation at http://www.strichards.org/giving.

THE LORD’S PRAYER, Book of Common Prayer, p. 364

All 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.

PRAYER AT THIS TIME OF FASTING FROM HOLY COMMUNION

Celebrant A “spiritual communion” is a devotional that we can participate in at any time to express the desire to receive the Holy Communion. Current circumstances impede

12

us from physically partaking of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The St. Richard’s Community is therefore fasting from the bread and wine of the Eucharist and participating in “spiritual communion” with God and each other. Let us pray:

All Jesus Christ our Lord, we believe that you are truly present in the Blessed

Sacrament of the Altar which this community faithfully celebrated before our world changed. We love you above all things, and long for you in our souls. Since we cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into our hearts we pray. As though you have already come, we embrace you and unite ourselves entirely to you. Help us to know and feel that we are always connected to you and to each other across time and space. We pray this until we are reunited physically and can share the Body of Christ, the bread of heaven, the Blood of Christ, the cup of salvation. Amen.

BLESSING CLOSING HYMN 457 “Thou art the Way, to thee alone” (St. James)

DISMISSAL Deacon Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. People Thanks be to God. POSTLUDE “We Shall Overcome (Postlude)” ADOLPHUS HAILSTORK
