From: "Fr John W Fenton (by way of Rev. Eric J. Stefanski, )" To: Subject: HP: Pentecost IV propers Date: Thursday, November 01, 2001 1:03 PM THE FOURTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST SECOND CLASS GREEN Introit + Psalm 25.16,18; 1-2 Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. Look on my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Ps. To You, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in You; Let me not be ashamed. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen Turn Yourself to me, and have mercy on me, for I am desolate and afflicted. Look on my affliction and my pain; and forgive all my sins. Collect O God, the Protector of all who trust in You, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy: increase and multiply on us Your mercy; that, with You as our Ruler and Guide, we may so pass through the things of this life that we finally lose not the things of everlasting life, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit: one God, now and forever. Old Testament + Isaiah 12.1-6 The Old Testament Reading for Fourth Sunday after Pentecost is from the book of the prophet Isaiah. In that day you will say: "O Lord, I will praise You; though You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, and You comfort me. Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; 'For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation.'" Therefore with joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. And in that day you will say: "Praise the Lord, call upon His name; declare His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth. Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!" The Word of the Lord. Gradual + Psalm 55.22,16-18 O cast your burden on the Lord; And He shall sustain you. I will call upon God, and He shall hear my voice; He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me. Epistle + 1 Peter 5.6-11 The Epistle is from the first catholic epistle of Saint Peter. Beloved: Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. The Word of the Lord. Alleluia + Psalm 18.1-2 Alleluia. Alleluia. I will love You, O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and my Savior. Alleluia. Gospel + Saint Luke 15.1-10 The Lord be with you. The Holy Gospel of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke. + At that time all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Jesus to hear Him. And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." So He spoke this parable to them, saying: "What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. "Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? And when she has found it, she calls her friends and neighbors together, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the piece which I lost!' Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." The Gospel of the Lord. Chief Hymn "In Thee Alone, O Christ, My Lord" (Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ); or "Jesus Sinners Doth Receive" (Jesus nimmt die Sünder an) Offertorium +Psalm 9.10-12 Those who know Your Name will put their trust in You; for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. Sing praises to the Lord who dwells in Zion; for He does not forget the cry of the humble. Preface Sundays after Pentecost Communio + Saint Luke 15.10 I say to You, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God: Over one sinner who repents. Post-Communion Collect We give thanks to You, almighty God: that You have refreshed us through this salutary gift; and we beseech You that of Your mercy, You would strengthen us through the same in faith towards You and in fervent love toward one another, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit: one God, now and forever.
