Wednesday 14 October 2020: Evening Prayer

 

GREETING

In the name of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, Amen.

 

PREPARATION

We have come together as the family of God

in our Father’s presence to offer him praise and thanksgiving to hear and receive his holy word  to bring before him the needs of the world to ask his forgiveness of our sins and to seek his grace that through his Son Jesus Christ we may give ourselves to his service.

 

PRAISE

Let us worship and praise him.

 

Lord, open our lips that we may glorify and praise your Name.

 

Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

 

Praise the Lord. Alleluia.

 

Come Bless the Lord (Psalm 134)

1 Come, bless the Lord, all you | servants •of the | Lord, ♦  you that by night | stand •in the | house of the | Lord.

2,3 Lift up your hands towards the sanctuary and | bless the | Lord. ♦

The Lord who made heaven and earth give you | blessing | out of | Zion.

PENITENCE

Let us call to mind and confess our sins.

 

Silence

 

Almighty God, our heavenly Father in penitence we confess that we have sinned against you through our own fault in thought, word and deed  and in what we have left undone.

For the sake of your Son, Christ our Lord

forgive us all that is past and grant we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your Name.

 

Almighty God have mercy on us,

forgive us our sins  and keep us in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

 

THE WORD OF GOD

A PSALM

Psalm 34: 1-14

1 I will bless the | Lord at | all times; ♦ his praise shall | ever be | in my | mouth. 2 My soul shall glory | in the | Lord; ♦ let the | humble | hear and be | glad. 3. O magnify the | Lord with | me; ♦  let us ex|alt his | name to|gether.

 

4 I sought the Lord | and he | answered me ♦ and de|livered me from | all my | fears. 5 Look upon him | and be | radiant ♦ and your faces | shall not | be a|shamed.

6. This poor soul cried, and the | Lord | heard me ♦ and | saved me from | all my | troubles.

 

7 The angel | of the | Lord ♦ encamps around those who | fear him | and de|livers them. 8. O taste and see that the | Lord is | gracious; ♦ blessed is the | one who | trusts in | him.

A READING

John 6: 25-35

When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, ‘Rabbi, when did you come here?’  Jesus answered them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.’ Then they said to him, ‘What must we do to perform the works of God?’ Jesus answered them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.’ So they said to him, ‘What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, “He gave them bread from heaven to eat.”’ Then Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.’ They said to him, ‘Sir, give us this bread always.’

 

Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

ADDRESS

 

THE BAPTISMAL CREED

I believe and trust in his Son Jesus Christ who redeemed humankind.

I believe and trust in his Holy Spirit who gives life to the people of God.

I believe and trust in one God Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

PRAYER

Let us pray.

 

Lord, have mercy upon us.

Christ, have mercy upon us.

Lord, have mercy upon us.

 

 

 

 

THE LORD’S PRAYER

As our Saviour Christ has taught us, we are bold to say: 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.

 

 

INTERCESSIONS AND THANKSGIVINGS

 

INTERCESSIONS

Lord God

We ask you to give us your blessing to your Church, holiness to the world, peace to this nation, justice and to all people knowledge of your law. Keep safe our families protect the weak heal the sick comfort the dying and bring us all to a joyful resurrection.

We ask these things through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

 

Almighty God, the fountain of all wisdom you know our needs before we ask and our ignorance in asking:

have compassion on our weakness  and those things which for our unworthiness we dare not and for our blindness we cannot ask grant us through your Son Jesus Christ our Saviour.

 

THANKSGIVINGS

Blessing and honour and thanksgiving and praise more than we can utter more than we can understand be to you, O holy and glorious Trinity Father, Son and Holy Spirit from all angels, all people, all creatures for ever and ever. Amen.

 

 

God of all power, we acclaim you Lord of all grace, we worship you. we are not worthy of you yet your goodness makes us praise you and give you thanks.

We praise you for the life you have given us and for all the blessings we have received at your hands. Above all, we give you thanks for your Son Jesus Christ for the grace and hope which his death and resurrection have brought to us. We ask this of you, our Father that we may never forget your goodness to us and that we may show our thankfulness

not only in words but by the service of our lives both now and in all eternity.

 

COLLECTS

Almighty God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels and all just works proceed: give your servants that peace which the world cannot give

that our hearts may be set to obey your commandments

and that, free from the fear of our enemies we may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour.

Amen.

 

THE ENDING

Lighten our darkness, Lord and by your great mercy defend us in all perils and dangers of the night; for the love of your only Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all evermore. Amen.

THE WORD OF GOD
A READING
St Mark 12:18-27
Some Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came
to him and asked him a question, saying, ‘Teacher,
Moses wrote for us that if a man’s brother dies, leaving a
wife but no child, the man shall marry the widow and
raise up children for his brother. There were seven
brothers; the first married and, when he died, left no
children; and the second married her and died, leaving
no children; and the third likewise; none of the seven left
children. Last of all the woman herself died. In the
resurrection whose wife will she be? For the seven had
married her.’
Jesus said to them, ‘Is not this the reason you are wrong,
that you know neither the scriptures nor the power of
God? For when they rise from the dead, they neither
marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in
heaven. And as for the dead being raised, have you not
read in the book of Moses, in the story about the bush,
how God said to him, “I am the God of Abraham, the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”? He is God not of
the dead, but of the living; you are quite wrong.’

let me see you face to face,
the knowledge of your love
as you live in me.

as your will unfolds in my life,
in living every day
by the power of your love.

To you be glory and praise for ever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting your name is
proclaimed in all the world.

Almighty and most merciful Father, we have
wandered and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much the devices and desires of
our own hearts. We have offended against your holy
laws. We have left undone those things that we ought
to have done; and we have done those things that we
ought not to have done; and there is no health in us.
But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us sinners. Spare
those who confess their faults. Restore those who are
penitent, according to your promises declared to
humankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O
most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may live a

THE WORD OF GOD
A READING
St Matthew 23:27-32
‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you
are like whitewashed tombs, which on the outside look
beautiful, but inside they are full of the bones of the dead
and of all kinds of filth. So you also on the outside look
righteous to others, but inside you are full of hypocrisy
and lawlessness. ‘Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and
decorate the graves of the righteous, and you say, “If we
had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not
have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the
prophets.” Thus you testify against yourselves that you
are descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Fill
up, then, the measure of your ancestors.

showing mercy and pity: Mercifully grant to us such a
measure of your grace, that we, running the way of your
commandments, may receive your gracious promises,

A READING
Matthew 8: 1-13
When Jesus had come down from the mountain, great crowds followed him; and there was a
leper who came to him and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, if you choose, you can make me
clean.’ He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’
Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Then Jesus said to him, ‘See that you say nothing to anyone;
but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to
them.’
When he entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, appealing to him and saying, ‘Lord, my
servant is lying at home paralysed, in terrible distress.’ And he said to him, ‘I will come and cure
him.’ The centurion answered, ‘Lord, I am not worthy to have you come under my roof; but only
speak the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers
under me; and I say to one, “Go”, and he goes, and to another, “Come”, and he comes, and to my
slave, “Do this”, and the slave does it.’ When Jesus heard him, he was amazed and said to those who
followed him, ‘Truly I tell you, in no one in Israel have I found such faith. I tell you, many will come
from east and west and will eat with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while
the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.’ And to the centurion Jesus said, ‘Go; let it be done for you according to your
faith.’ And the servant was healed in that hour.

THE WORD OF GOD
A READING
St Matthew 18:15-20
He ‘If another member of the church sins against you, go
and point out the fault when the two of you are alone. If
the member listens to you, you have regained that
one. But if you are not listened to, take one or two others
along with you, so that every word may be confirmed by
the evidence of two or three witnesses. If the member
refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the
offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a
one be to you as a Gentile and a tax-collector. Truly I tell
you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed
in heaven. Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on
earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by
my Father in heaven. For where two or three are
gathered in my name, I am there among them.’

A READING
Matthew 15: 32-39
Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, ‘I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been
with me now for three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they
might faint on the way.’ The disciples said to him, ‘Where are we to get enough bread in the desert to feed so
great a crowd?’ Jesus asked them, ‘How many loaves have you?’ They said, ‘Seven, and a few small fish.’ Then
ordering the crowd to sit down on the ground, he took the seven loaves and the fish; and after giving thanks
he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all of them ate
and were filled; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. Those who had eaten were
four thousand men, besides women and children. After sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and
went to the region of Magadan.

A period of meditation on the reading follows.

THE WORD OF GOD
A READING
St Mark 4:30-34
He also said, ‘With what can we compare the kingdom
of God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a
mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the
smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it
grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and
puts forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can
make nests in its shade.’
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as
they were able to hear it; he did not speak to them except
in parables, but he explained everything in private to his
disciples.

THE WORD OF GOD
PSALM
Psalm 63
Refrain: My soul is athirst for God, even for the living God.
1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you;

my soul is athirst for you.

as in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.
3 So would I gaze upon you in your holy place,

that I might behold your power and your glory.

-kindness is better than life itself

and so my lips shall praise you.

and become a portion for jackals.

all those who swear by him shall be glad,

for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
My soul is athirst for God, even for the living God.

A READING
Mark 15: 40 – 16: 8
There were also women looking on from a distance; among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the
mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. These used to follow him and provided for him when
he was in Galilee; and there were many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem.
When evening had come, and since it was the day of Preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath, Joseph
of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who was also himself waiting expectantly for the kingdom
of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate wondered if he were already dead;
and summoning the centurion, he asked him whether he had been dead for some time. When he learned
from the centurion that he was dead, he granted the body to Joseph. Then Joseph bought a linen cloth, and
taking down the body, wrapped it in the linen cloth, and laid it in a tomb that had been hewn out of the rock.
He then rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw
where the body was laid.
When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so
that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they
went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the
entrance to the tomb?’ When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been
rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on the right
side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, ‘Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth,
who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his
disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.’ So
they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to
anyone, for they were afraid.
