Fourth Sunday of Easter
BCP p. 224
O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that
when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and
follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day our sister Isa.
We thank you for giving her to us, her family and friends, to know and to
love as a companion on our earthly pilgrimage. In your boundless
compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate
of eternal life, so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on
earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone
before; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
THE FIRST READING
Nathan Hastings-Spaine
Acts 2:42-47
Those who had been baptized 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.

I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures *
and leads me beside still waters.
3 He revives my soul *
and guides me along right pathways for his Name's sake.
4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I shall fear no evil; *
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
THE EPISTLE
Kiptiatu Coker
1 Peter 2:19-25
A reading from the First Letter of Peter:
It is a credit to you 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

and guardian of your souls.

People
Glory to you, Lord 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 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.”

Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
was incarnate of the Holy Spirit
and the Virgin Mary,
and became truly human.
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 and the Son.
who with the Father and the Son
is worshiped and glorified.

Hear us, Lord.
You wept at the grave of Lazarus, your friend; comfort us in our sorrow.
Hear us, Lord.
You raised the dead to life; give to our sister eternal life.

PROPER PREFACE
BCP p. 379
But chiefly are we bound to praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son
Jesus Christ our Lord; for he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us,
and has taken away the sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and
by his rising to life again he has won for us everlasting life.
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all
the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your
Name:

Then the Celebrant continues
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made
known to us in creation; in the calling of 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 Savior 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.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it or lay a hand upon it; and at the
words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be
consecrated.
[En la víspera de su muerte por nosotros, nuestro Señor Jesucristo tomó pan; y
ándote gracias, lo partió y lo dio a sus discípulos, y dijo: "Tomen y coman.
Este es mi Cuerpo, entregado por TODOS. Hagan esto como memorial mío".]
On the night before he died for us, 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 ALL. Do this for the remembrance of me."
[Después de la cena tomó el cáliz; y dándote gracias, se lo entregó, y dijo: "Beban
todos de él. Esta es mi Sangre del nuevo Pacto, sangre derramada por TODOS para el
perdón de los pecados. Siempre que lo beban, háganlo como memorial mío".]
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 all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the
remembrance of me."

And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all;
presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.
[Te suplicamos, Dios bondadoso, que envíes tu Espíritu Santo sobre estos
dones, para que sean el Sacramento del Cuerpo de Cristo y su Sangre del
nuevo Pacto. Unenos a tu Hijo en su sacrificio, a fin de que, por medio de él,
seamos aceptables, siendo santificados por el Espíritu Santo. En la plenitud de

donde, con [ Maria, Juan, Augustino, y] todos tus santos, entremos en la

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may
