that they may be the sacrament of the body of Christ and his blood of
the new covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we, made
acceptable in him, may be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast;

Dear Name! The rock on which I build! My shield and hiding-place!
My never-failing treasury, filled with boundless stores of grace!
Jesus! My Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring.

THE PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD
The First Reading PLEASE BE SEATED
Acts 2: 42-47
They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the
breaking of bread and the prayers. Awe came upon everyone, because many
wonders and signs were being done by the apostles. All who believed were
together and had all things in common; they would sell their possessions
and goods and distribute the proceeds to all, as any had need. Day by day, as
they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and
ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the
goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number
those who were being saved.
Reader The word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm
PLEASE REMAIN SEATED
Psalm 23—Plainsong
Cantor The Lord is my shep-herd; *
I shall not be in want.
All He makes me lie down in green pas-tures *
and leads me be-side still waters.
Canto He revives my soul *
and guides me along right pathways for his name’s sake.
All Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I shall fear no e-vil; *
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they com-fort_me.
Cantor You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trou-ble_me; *
you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is run-ning o-ver.
All Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, *
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for e-ver.
The Second Reading
1 Peter 2: 19-25
For it is to your credit if, being aware of God, you endure pain while
suffering unjustly. If you endure when you are beaten for doing wrong, what
credit is that? But if you endure when you do right and suffer for it, you have
God’s approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered
for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in his steps. ‘He
committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth.’ When he was
abused, he did not return abuse; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he
entrusted himself to the one who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his
body on the cross, so that, free from sins, we might live for righteousness; by
his wounds you have been healed. For you were going astray like sheep, but
now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.
Reader The word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel
John 10: 1-10
Gospeller The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.
People Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, ‘Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold
by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. The one
who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens
the gate for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by
name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes
ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.
They will not follow a stranger, but they will run from him because they
do not know the voice of strangers.’ Jesus used this figure of speech with
them, but they did not understand what he was saying to them. So again
Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. All
who came before me are thieves and bandits; but the sheep did not listen to
them. I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved, and will come in
Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, but yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me.
and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy. I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.’
Gospeller The Gospel of Christ.
People Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still, thy cross before to guide me.
Thou spread’st a table in my sight; thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight from thy pure chalice floweth!
Homily
The Nicene Creed
PLEASE STAND
Presider Let us confess our faith, as we say,
All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and
earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus
Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from
God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of
one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us
and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the
Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made
man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered
death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with
the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of
the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. With the Father
and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the
prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We
acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the
resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

your name. Amen.

PLEASE KNEEL
Presider We give thanks to you, Lord our God, for the goodness and love you
have made known to us in creation; in calling Israel to be your people;
in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word
made flesh, Jesus your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be
incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Saviour and Redeemer of the
world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to
stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth,
out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, a death he
freely accepted, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had
given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said,
“Take, eat: this is my body which is given for you. Do this for the
remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks,
he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: this is my blood of
the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the
forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the
remembrance of me.” Therefore, Father, according to his command,
All we remember his death, we proclaim his resurrection, we await his
coming in glory;
Presider and we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, Lord of
all; presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.
