Killiskey

The parish is hugely grateful to all who provide support in so many ways.
The challenges that we have all faced and will continue to face are not just
liturgical or logistical, but financial too. Traditional methods of fund raising
could not take place this year. We would urge you to put your parish on
your Christmas present list this year in particular and help to alleviate
financial concerns, should your own circumstances permit.
There are many ways in which people can make a contribution such as:
A Once-Off gift this Christmas
Planned Giving (see below)
Fundraising
Contributing your time and talents to the running of the Parish
Methods of Planned Giving are:
*The envelope system which enables parishioners to donate regular cash
amounts which can be recorded for tax refund purposes. Envelopes can be
obtained from the churchwardens.
*By setting up a standing order with your bank for a minimum donation of
€5 per week (or monthly or quarterly equivalent).
*A donation or donations totalling at least €250 can be made directly to
the Parish Treasurer, Scott Golden, Malvern House, The Glebe, Wicklow
Town.
We cannot yet know just how 2021 will look, but the parish will be there
for you. We hope for a return to the traditional, but also to have learned
from the past nine months so that we may move forward with renewed
faith and hope for the future.

The Hub re-opened on Tuesday 1st December. Sales in the first week back
have been brisk. The shop now has extended opening hours, thanks to the
appointment of a Tus worker, Amy Shannon. The new opening hours are:
Mondays and Saturdays — 11.00am to 3.00pm
Tuesdays to Fridays — 10.00m to 4.15pm

If you would like to be added to the Church Review list for 2021, please
contact Lesley Rue (087-2810478).

This year’s carol services will go online.
A number of musical rehearsals are in progress. These will record the
musical elements of the parish carol service. To this will be added readings
and prayers. Thanks are due to our musical director, Tim Hicks, for
arranging the pieces and to Scott Golden for making the recordings and
editing these. It is anticipated that this service will be uploaded to the
YouTube channel no later than Friday 18 December.
The school teachers and children are also working on an online Carol
service.
Further details of these services will be posted on the parish Facebook
page which is at:

Cooley Farm, Glenealy, is hosting drive-in Christmas carol services on
18th and 19th December from 6.30 to 7.30pm. Enjoy carols from the
socially distanced safety of your car. Spaces are limited, so booking is
essential. Go to www.eventbrite.ie and search for carols at Cooley.

As an unusual Christmas shopping season approaches, many will choose
to shop on-line, although it appears retail outlets will be permitted to open
in time to facilitate “real” shopping. There are many reasons to shop
locally, be it on-line or physically. As many local companies buckle under
the Covid19 restrictions, others are scrambling to set up on-line shopping
facilities. It is a really good idea to support these (see Shop in Ireland,
you can search by county) rather than to look around for, perhaps at first
glance, a cheaper option from far away overseas. This will only serve to
support mega-companies, whereas supporting Irish companies will keep
people in Ireland employed and, with the trickle-down effect, this will
benefit us all. Additionally, your gifts will not have traversed the world.
The adage “Buy local or Bye local” is truer now than ever before. One can
also phone some suppliers directly and order on a “click and collect” basis.
A huge variety is on offer, from conventional clothes, hardware,
homeware to crafts, food items, plants etc. And of course, the more
sustainable the shopping the better for the environment too.

Wednesday 2 December 2020: Evening Prayer

GREETING
The Lord be with you
and also with you.

VERSICLES AND RESPONSES
Almighty God, come and revive us.
Shine upon us and we shall be saved.
God himself gives us his joy
and our land yields its fruit.
Justice will walk before him,
peace comes in his footsteps.
Praise to Him who is coming: the King, in the name of the Lord!
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest! Amen.

PENITENCE
Let us confess our sins to God our Father.
Silence
Heavenly Father,
we have sinned against you and against our neighbour
in thought and word and deed,
through negligence, through weakness,
through our own deliberate fault;
by what we have done
and by what we have failed to do.
We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ who died for us,
forgive us all that is past;
and grant that we may serve you in newness of life
to the glory of your name. Amen.
Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent,
have mercy on you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE WORD OF GOD
A PSALM
Psalm 79
O God, the nations have come into your inheritance;
they have defiled your holy temple;
they have laid Jerusalem in ruins.
They have given the bodies of your servants
to the birds of the air for food,
the flesh of your faithful to the wild animals of the earth.
They have poured out their blood like water
all around Jerusalem,
and there was no one to bury them.
We have become a taunt to our neighbours,
mocked and derided by those around us.
How long, O Lord? Will you be angry for ever?
Will your jealous wrath burn like fire?
Pour out your anger on the nations
that do not know you,
and on the kingdoms
that do not call on your name.
For they have devoured Jacob
and laid waste his habitation.
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our ancestors;
let your compassion come speedily to meet us,
for we are brought very low.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of your name;
deliver us, and forgive our sins,
for your name’s sake.
Why should the nations say,
‘Where is their God?’
Let the avenging of the outpoured blood of your servants
be known among the nations before our eyes.
Let the groans of the prisoners come before you;
according to your great power preserve those doomed to die.
Return sevenfold into the bosom of our neighbours
the taunts with which they taunted you, O Lord!
Then we your people, the flock of your pasture,
will give thanks to you for ever;
from generation to generation we will recount your praise.

BIBLE RESPONSORY
O Lord, make us see your love!
O Lord, make us see your love!
Grant us your salvation,
Your love!
Glory to the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
O Lord, make us see your love!
MAGNIFICAT The Song of the Blessed Virgin Mary Luke 1 : 46-55
My soul proclaims the greatness· of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour,
who has looked with favour 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.
God has mercy on those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
The Lord has shown strength· with his arm
and scattered the proud in their conceit,
casting down the mighty from their thrones
and lifting up the lowly.
God has filled the hungry with good things
and sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the aid of his servant Israel.
to remember the promise of mercy,
The promise made to our forebears,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory to the Father, and | to the | Son, ♦
and | to the | Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be|ginning, is | now, ♦
and shall be for | ever. | A|men.

A READING
Micah 5: 1-5a
Now you are walled around with a wall;
siege is laid against us;
with a rod they strike the ruler of Israel
upon the cheek.
But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah,
who are one of the little clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to rule in Israel,
whose origin is from of old,
from ancient days.
Therefore he shall give them up until the time
when she who is in labour has brought forth;
then the rest of his kindred shall return
to the people of Israel.
And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord,
in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.
And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth;
and he shall be the one of peace.

ADDRESS
PRAYER
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Heaven, shed your dew; Clouds, rain down salvation;
Earth, bring forth the Saviour.
O Wisdom, from the mouth of the Most High;
you reign over all thing to the ends of the earth;
come and teach us the way of wisdom.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
O Lord, and Head of the house of Israel;
you appeared to Moses in the fire of the burning bush
and you gave him the law on Sinai;
come with outstretched arm and ransom us.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
O Branch of Jesse, standing as a sign among the nations;
before you kings will keep silence,
and peoples will summon you to their aid;
come, set us free and delay no more.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
O Key of David, and Sceptre of the House of Israel;
you open and none can shut,
you shut and none can open;
come, and free the captive from prison.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
O Morning Star, Splendour of the Light eternal
And bright Sun of Justice;
come and enlighten all who live in darkness,
and in the shadow of death.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
O King of the nations; you alone can fulfil their desires;
Cornerstone, you make opposing nations one;
come and save us.
You formed us all from the clay.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
O Emmanuel, Hope of the nations and their Saviour;
come and save us, Lord our God.
Lord Jesus, come soon!
The Spirit and the Bride say, Come!
Amen! Lord Jesus, come soon!

Let us continue praying to the Lord.
Silence
Collect for Advent
Almighty God,
Give us grace to cast away the works of darkness
and to put on the armour of light
now in the time of this mortal life
in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;
that on the last day
when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
General Collect
O God,
the voice of the prophets and their whole lives,
announced the coming of your salvation;
may we in our turn faithfully live Christ for others,
until that Day when we shall see him face to face
as he comes to save us all;
grant this through Jesus, your Christ, our Lord. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
As we look for his coming, we sum up our prayers in the words our Saviour has taught us:
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, the power, and the glory
for ever and ever. Amen.

THE ENDING
Holy, Holy, Holy, God the Lord!
Sovereign Ruler of all the world.
He was, he is and he is coming.
Yes, he is close at hand.
Let us bless the Lord.
We give our thanks to God.
May our Lord Jesus Christ himself,
and God our Father who has loved us
and given us by his grace eternal consolation and joyful hope,
comfort our hearts
and strengthen them in every good word and work. Amen.

KILLISKEY PARISH
MORNING PRAYER FOR USE ON SUNDAY – 29 NOVEMBER 2020
THE FIFTH SUNDAY BEFORE ADVENT

The Gathering of God’s People
THE GREETING
Grace, mercy and peace
from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ
be with you all
and also with you.
Hymn of Praise: CH119 “Come, thou long-expected Jesus”
Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us;
let us find our rest in thee.
Israel’s strength and consolation,
hope of all the earth thou art;
dear desire of every nation,
joy of every longing heart.
Born thy people to deliver
born a child and yet a king;
born to reign in us for ever,
now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal spirit
rule in all our hearts alone:
by thine all-sufficient merit,
raise us to thy glorious throne.
Charles Wesley (1707-88)

INTRODUCTION
We have come together in the name of Christ
to offer our praise and thanksgiving,
to hear and receive God’s holy word,
to seek the forgiveness of our sins,
and to pray for the needs of the world,
that by the power of the Holy Spirit
we may give ourselves to the service of God.
O Lord, open our lips,
and our mouth will proclaim your praise.
Let us worship the Lord.
All praise to his name.
Blessed are you, Sovereign God of all,
to you be praise and glory for ever.
In your tender compassion
the dawn from on high is breaking upon us
to dispel the lingering shadows of night.
as we look for your coming among us this day,
open our eyes to behold your presence
and strengthen our hands to do your will,
that the world may rejoice and give you praise.
Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Blessed be God for ever.

SENTENCES OF SCRIPTURE
Your word is a lantern to my feet
and a light upon our path. cf Psalm 119:105
O Lord, your word is everlasting:
it stands firm for ever in the heavens. cf Psalm 119: 89
Let us then receive the word of the Lord:
so may the light of your presence shine into our hearts.
Proclaiming and Receiving the Word
The First Reading: Isaiah 64: 1-9
O that you would tear open the heavens and come down,
so that the mountains would quake at your presence—
as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
so that the nations might tremble at your presence!
When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
From ages past no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,
who works for those who wait for him.
You meet those who gladly do right,
those who remember you in your ways.
But you were angry, and we sinned;
because you hid yourself we transgressed.
We have all become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy cloth.
We all fade like a leaf,
and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.
There is no one who calls on your name,
or attempts to take hold of you;
for you have hidden your face from us,
and have delivered us into the hand of our iniquity.
Yet, O Lord, you are our Father;
we are the clay, and you are our potter;
we are all the work of your hand.
Do not be exceedingly angry, O Lord,
and do not remember iniquity for ever.
Now consider, we are all your people.
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

The Psalm: Psalm 80: 1-8, 18-20
1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, ♦︎
you that led Joseph like a flock;
2 Shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim, ♦︎
before Ephraim, Benjamin and Manasseh.
3 Stir up your mighty strength ♦︎
and come to our salvation.
4 Turn us again, O God; ♦︎
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
5 O Lord God of hosts, ♦︎
how long will you be angry at your people’s prayer?
6 You feed them with the bread of tears; ♦︎
you give them abundance of tears to drink.
7 You have made us the derision of our neighbours, ♦︎
and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
8 Turn us again, O God of hosts; ♦︎
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
18 Let your hand be upon the man at your right hand, ♦︎
the son of man you made so strong for yourself.
19 And so will we not go back from you; ♦︎
give us life, and we shall call upon your name.
20 Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts; ♦︎
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, ▪
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, ▪
and shall be for ever. Amen.

The Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1: 3-9
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ
Jesus, for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind— just as
the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you— so that you are not lacking in any spiritual
gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also strengthen you to the end, so that
you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful; by him you were called into
the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Hymn before the Gospel: CH125 “Hail to the Lord’s anointed” (vs 1-3 and 5)
Hail to the Lord’s Anointed,
great David’s greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
his reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free;
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
He comes with succour speedy
to those who suffer wrong;
to help the poor and needy
and bid the weak be strong;
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
were precious in his sight.
He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth;
and love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
spring in his path to birth:
before him on the mountains,
shall peace, the herald, go;
and righteousness, in fountains,
from hill to valley flow.
O’er every foe victorious,
he on his throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blessed:
the tide of time shall never
his covenant remove;
his name shall stand for ever;
that name to us is Love.
James Montgomery (1771-1854)
based on Psalm 72

The Gospel Reading: Mark 13: 24-37
‘But in those days, after that suffering,
the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light,
and the stars will be falling from heaven,
and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.
Then they will see “the Son of Man coming in clouds” with great power and glory. 27Then he will send
out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.
‘From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you
know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he* is near, at
the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
‘But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey,
when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to
be on the watch. Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in
the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes
suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.’
This is the word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

THE SERMON
COLLECT OF THE WORD
Eternal God,
through long generations you prepared a way
for the coming of your Son,
and by your Spirit you still bring light to illumine our paths:
renew us in faith and hope
that we may welcome Christ to rule our thoughts
and claim our love;
to whom be glory for ever. Amen.

PENITENCE
When the Lord comes,
he will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness,
and will disclose the purposes of the heart. 1 Corinthians 4: 5
Therefore in the light of Christ let us confess our sins.
O God, our loving Father in heaven,
we confess that we have sinned against you;
we have broken your commandments;
we have often been selfish,
and we have not loved you as we should.
For these, and all our sins, forgive us, we pray:
through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
May the Father of all mercies
cleanse you from your sins,
and restore you in his image
to the praise and glory of his name,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Response to God’s Word

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
Do you believe and trust in God the Father,
who made the world?
I believe and trust in him.
Do you believe and trust in his Son Jesus Christ,
who redeemed mankind?
I believe and trust in him.
Do you believe and trust in the Holy Spirit
who gives life to the people of God?
I believe and trust in him.
This is the faith of the Church.
This is our faith,
We believe and trust in One God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Responsorial Hymn : CH538 “O Lord, the clouds are gathering”
O Lord, the clouds are gathering,
the fire of judgment burns,
how we have fallen!
O Lord, you stand appalled to see
your laws of love so scorned
and lives so broken.
Have mercy, Lord,
forgive us, Lord,
restore us, Lord
revive your church again.
Let justice flow
like rivers
and righteousness like a never failing stream.
O Lord, over the nations now
where is the dove of peace?
Her wings are broken.
O Lord, while precious children starve
The tools of war increase;
their bread is stolen.
O Lord, dark powers are poised to flood
our streets with hate and fear;
we must awaken!
O Lord, let love reclaim the lives
that sin would sweep away,
and let your kingdom come.
O Lord, your glorious cross shall tower
triumphant in this land,
evil confounding.
Through the fire your suff’ring church displays
the glories of her Christ,
praises resounding!
Graham Kendrick (b. 1950)

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE
Watchful at all times,
let us pray for strength to stand with confidence
before our Maker and Redeemer.
That God may bring in his kingdom with justice and mercy,
let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
That God may establish among the nations
his sceptre of righteousness,
let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
That we may seek Christ in the Scriptures
and recognize him in the breaking of the bread,
let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
That God may bind up the brokenhearted,
restore the sick and raise up all who have fallen,
let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
That the light of God’s coming may dawn
on all who live in darkness and the shadow of death,
let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
That, with all the saints in light,
we may shine forth as lights for the world,
let us pray to the Lord:
Lord, have mercy.
We commend ourselves and all for whom we pray
to the mercy and protection of our heavenly Father:
Silence is kept.
Almighty God,
as your blessed Son Jesus Christ
first came to seek and to save the lost;
so may he come again to find in us
the completion of his redeeming work;
for he is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever. Amen.

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty God,
Give us grace to cast away the works of darkness
and to put on the armour of light
now in the time of this mortal life
in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;
that on the last day
when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
to judge the living and the dead,
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Gathering our prayers and praises into one, we pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever. Amen.

Closing Hymn: ELW505 “A mighty fortress is our God” (on which CH668 is based)
A mighty fortress is our God,
a bulwark never failing;
our helper frees us from the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe,
forsworn to work us woe;
with guile and dreadful might
is armed to wage the fight:
on earth there is no equal.
If we in our own strength confide,
our striving turns to losing;
the righteous one fights by our side,
the one of God’s own choosing.
You ask who that may be:
Christ Jesus, it is he,
the Lord of hosts by name.
No other God we claim!
None else can win the battle.
Though all the world with devils fill,
and threaten to undo us,
we tremble not, we trust God’s will:
they cannot overpow’r us.
Though Satan rant and rage,
In fiercest wars engage,
This tyrant’s doomed to fail:
God’s judgement will prevail!
One little word shall triumph.
God’s Word shall stand above the pow’rs,
shall end all their thanksgiving.
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
for God with us is living.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
though all of these be gone,
they yet have nothing won.
The kingdom’s ours forever!
Martin Luther (1483-1546)
tr. Frederick H Hedge (1805-90) altd.

the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be with you and remain with you always.
Amen.

We go in peace to love and serve the Lord.
In the name of Christ. Amen.
