Evening Prayer - Tuesday Sep 27 2022

Confession

Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name.

Amen

May Almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us all our sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen us in all goodness,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit
keep us in eternal life.

Amen

Grace to you and peace from God our Fa-ther
and from/the Lord Je-sus Christ.
Wor-ship the Lord in/the beau-ty of his holi-ness;
let the whole earth trem-ble be-fore him.

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as in-cense,
the lifting up of my hands as the eve-ning sacri-fice.
I will bless the Lord who gives me coun-sel;
my heart teaches me, night after night.

I have set the Lord al-ways be-fore me;
be-cause he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

O Gracious Light

O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the
everliving Father in heaven.
O Jesus, Christ, holy and blessed!

Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.

Psalm 95Venite, exultemusBCP p. 724
Come, let us sing to the Lord; *let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, *and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *and the heights of the hills are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it, *and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is our God,and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
Harden not your hearts,as your forebears did in the wilderness, *at Meribah, and on that day at Massah,when they tempted me.
They put me to the test, *though they had seen my works.
Forty years long I detested that generation and said, *“This people are wayward in their hearts;they do not know my ways.”
So I swore in my wrath, *“They shall not enter into my rest.”

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

A Reading from the Gospel According to Luke.        (Luke 5:12-26)

Once, when he was in one of the cities, there was a man covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.” Then Jesus stretched out his hand, touched him, and said, “I do choose. Be made clean.” Immediately the leprosy left him. And he ordered him to tell no one. “Go,” he said, “and show yourself to the priest, and, as Moses commanded, make an offering for your cleansing, for a testimony to them.” But now more than ever the word about Jesus spread abroad; many crowds would gather to hear him and to be cured of their diseases. But he would withdraw to deserted places and pray.

One day, while he was teaching, Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting near by (they had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem); and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. Just then some men came, carrying a paralyzed man on a bed. They were trying to bring him in and lay him before Jesus; but finding no way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the middle of the crowd in front of Jesus. When he saw their faith, he said, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.” 

Then the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, “Who is this who is speaking blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” When Jesus perceived their questionings, he answered them, “Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” —he said to the one who was paralyzed—”I say to you, stand up and take your bed and go to your home.” Immediately he stood up before them, took what he had been lying on, and went to his home, glorifying God. Amazement seized all of them, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen strange things today.”

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

The Song of Mary        Luke 1:46-55        Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;*

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:*

the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him*

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm,*

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,*

and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,*

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel,*

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

The promise he made to our fathers,*

to Abraham and his children for ever.

Psalm 89: Part IMisericordias DominiBCP p. 713
Your love, O Lord, for ever will I sing; *from age to age my mouth will proclaim your faithfulness.
For I am persuaded that your love is established for ever; *you have set your faithfulness firmly in the heavens.
“I have made a covenant with my chosen one; *I have sworn an oath to David my servant:
‘I will establish your line for ever, *and preserve your throne for all generations.’”
The heavens bear witness to your wonders, O Lord, *and to your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones;
For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord? *who is like the Lord among the gods?
God is much to be feared in the council of the holy ones, *great and terrible to all those round about him.
Who is like you, Lord God of hosts? *O mighty Lord, your faithfulness is all around you.
You rule the raging of the sea *and still the surging of its waves.
You have crushed Rahab of the deep with a deadly wound; *you have scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
Yours are the heavens; the earth also is yours; *you laid the foundations of the world and all that is in it.
You have made the north and the south; *Tabor and Hermon rejoice in your Name.
You have a mighty arm; *strong is your hand and high is your right hand.
Righteousness and justice are the foundations of your throne; *love and truth go before your face.
Happy are the people who know the festal shout! *they walk, O Lord, in the light of your presence.
They rejoice daily in your Name; *they are jubilant in your righteousness.
For you are the glory of their strength, *and by your favor our might is exalted.
Truly, the Lord is our ruler; *The Holy One of Israel is our King.

A Reading from the Gospel According to Luke.        (Luke 5:1-11

Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. 

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. 

But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” For he and all who were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” When they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and followed him.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

The Song of Simeon        Luke 2:29-32        Nunc dimittis

Lord, you now have set your servant free*

For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior,*

whom you have prepared for all the world to see:

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
