The Collect of the Day BCP, p. 233
The Liturgy of the Word
First Reading Isaiah 35:4–7a
Say to those who are of a fearful heart, Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf unstopped;
‘Be strong, do not fear! then the lame shall leap like a deer,
Here is your God. and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.
He will come with vengeance, For waters shall break forth in the wilderness,
with terrible recompense. and streams in the desert;
He will come and save you.’ the burning sand shall become a pool,
and the thirsty ground springs of water;
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 146 BCP, p. 803
Lauda, anima mea
1 6
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul! * Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, *
I will praise the Lord as long as I live; and food to those who hunger.
I will sing praises to my God
while I have my being. 7
The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the
2 eyes of the blind; *
Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, * the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
for there is no help in them.
8
3 When they breathe their last, they return to earth, * The Lord loves the righteous;
and in that day their thoughts perish. the Lord cares for the stranger; *
he sustains the orphan and widow,
4 but frustrates the way of the wicked.
Happy are they who have the God of Jacob
for their help! * 9
whose hope is in the Lord their God; The Lord shall reign for ever, *
your God, O Zion, throughout all generations.
5 Hallelujah!
Who made heaven and earth, the seas,
and all that is in them; *
who keeps his promise for ever;
5Second Reading James 2:1–17
My brothers and sisters, do you with your acts of favoritism really believe in our glorious Lord
Jesus Christ? For if a person with gold rings and in fine clothes comes into your assembly, and if
a poor person in dirty clothes also comes in, and if you take notice of the one wearing the fine
clothes and say, “Have a seat here, please,” while to the one who is poor you say, “Stand there,”
or, “Sit at my feet,” have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with
evil thoughts? Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen the poor in the
world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love
him? But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who
drag you into court? Is it not they who blaspheme the excellent name that was invoked over you?
You do well if you really fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, “You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.” But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law
as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable
for all of it. For the one who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not
murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery but if you murder, you have become a transgressor
of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment
will be without mercy to anyone who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can
faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them,
“Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is
the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
The Word of the Lord.
People Thanks be to God.

The Holy Gospel Mark 7:24–37
The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark.
People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone
to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice, but a woman whose little daughter had an
unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. Now the
woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her
daughter. He said to her, “Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children’s food
and throw it to the dogs.” But she answered him, “Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the
children’s crumbs.” Then he said to her, “For saying that, you may go—the demon has left your
daughter.” So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee,
in the region of the Decapolis. They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his
speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside in private, away from
the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. Then looking up
to heaven, he sighed and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” And immediately his
ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus ordered them to tell
no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. They were
astounded beyond measure, saying, “He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to
hear and the mute to speak.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
People Praise to you, Lord Christ.
Homily
After the Homily, silence will be kept.
8The Nicene Creed
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, 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,
who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who 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.
Prayers of the People
Following each bidding, a brief silence concludes with the intercessor saying,
We bring this before you,
People and ask that your will be done.
The Confession of Sin & Peace BCP, p. 360
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our
whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
The Priest pronounces absolution. Then all stand.
The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People And also with you.
Then the Ministers and People may greet one another in the name of the Lord.

God be in my head and in my understanding;
God be in mine eyes and in my looking;

The Concluding Rite
Post-Communion Prayer and Blessing BCP, p. 366
Almighty and everliving God, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the
most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in
these holy mysteries that we are living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your
eternal kingdom. And now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to
love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy
Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

Postludium in A, BWV 536 J. S. Bach
13Word for the Week:
Had there been no cross, Christ could not have been
crucified. Had there been no cross, life itself could
not have been nailed to the tree. And if life had not
been nailed to it, there would be no streams of im-
mortality pouring from Christ’s side, blood and water
for the world’s cleansing. The bond of our sin would
not be cancelled, we should not have obtained our
freedom, we should not have enjoyed the fruit of the
tree of life and the gates of paradise would not stand
open. Had there been no cross, death would not have
been trodden underfoot, nor hell despoiled.
Therefore, the cross is something wonderfully great
and honorable. It is great because through the cross
the many noble acts of Christ found their consumma-
tion, very many indeed, for both his miracles and his
sufferings were fully rewarded with victory. The
cross is honorable because it is both the sign of
God’s suffering and the trophy of his victory. It
stands for his suffering because on it he freely suffered unto death. But it is also
his trophy because it was the means by which the devil was wounded and death
conquered; the barred gates of hell were smashed, and the cross became the one
common salvation of the whole world.
— Homily on the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, Andrew of Crete (c. 660–740)
