A Reading
|
|
|
|
From the sermon of St. Paul to the people of Antioch: “To keep his promise, God
has raised up for Israel one of David’s descendants, Jesus, as Savior, whose
coming was heralded by John when he proclaimed the baptism of repentance
for the whole people of Israel. Before John ended his course he said, ‘I am not
the one you imagine me to be; there is someone coming after me whose sandal
I am not fit to undo.’ My brothers, sons of Abraham’s race, and all you godfearers,
this message of salvation is meant for you.” |

Acts 13:23–26

The Refrain

The Morning Psalm
|
|
He Has Dealt with Me Richly
|
|
How long, O LORD? will you forget me for ever?* how long will you hide your face
from me?
How long shall I have perplexity in my mind, and grief in my heart, day after
day?* how long shall my enemy triumph over me?
Look upon me and answer me, O LORD my God;* give light to my eyes, lest I sleep
in death;
Lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”* and my foes rejoice that I have
fallen.
But I put my trust in your mercy;* my heart is joyful because of your saving help.
I will sing to the LORD, for he has dealt with me richly;* I will praise the Name of
the Lord Most High. |
|

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen. |

Father in heaven, who at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan proclaimed him

and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.† |

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this

through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
