PRAYER OF THE DAY
P: Let us pray. O God, rich in mercy, by the humiliation of your Son you lifted up this
fallen world and rescued us from the hopelessness of death. Lead us into your light,
that all our deeds may reflect your love, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C: Amen.
WORD
LESSON NUMBERS 21:4-9
Though God provides food and water for the Israelites in the wilderness, they whine and
grumble. They forget about the salvation they experienced in the exodus. God punishes them for
their sin, but when they repent God also provides a means of healing: a bronze serpent lifted up
on a pole.

GOSPEL John 3:14-21
To explain the salvation of God to the religious leader, Nicodemus, Jesus refers to the scripture
passage quoted in today’s first reading. Just as those who looked upon the bronze serpent were
healed, so people will be saved when they behold Christ lifted up on the cross.
Jesus said: “Just as Moses lifted up the believe are condemned already, because

P: Lift up your hearts.

P: It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should at all times and in all places
give thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God, through our Savior Jesus
Christ. You call your people to cleanse their hearts and prepare with joy for the

your grace. And so, with all the choirs of angels, with the church on earth and the
hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
HOLY HOLY

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER
P: Holy God, our living Water and our merciful Guide, together with rivers and seas,
wells and springs we bless and magnify you. You led your people Israel through the
desert, and provided them water from the rock.
We praise you for Christ, our Rock and our Water, who joined us in our desert,
pouring out his life for the world.
In the night in which he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus took bread, and gave thanks;
broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, given for
you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying:
This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the
forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Remembering, therefore, his death and resurrection, we await your salvation for all
this thirsty world. Pour out your Spirit on this holy food and on all the baptized
gathered for this feast: wash away our sin, that we may be revived for our journey
by the love of Christ.
Through him all glory and honor is yours, Almighty God, with the Holy Spirit, in
your holy Church, both now and forever.
C: Amen.
LORD’S PRAYER
P: All this we ask through the one who taught us to pray:
C: 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.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and forever. Amen.
